16. Religion aside.. It's because they're sexualizing young girls in the media
People are so shocked that these guys are all going after young teens, but as the parent of a young teen.. and seeing the media featuring young teen girls.. and the way they're protrayed, it's no shock these men want to have sex with them. It's a sick thing that Madison Avenue did to young girls... they decided to sexualize them so that they could sell them more stuff.. .more makeup, more clothes, more beauty products, more everything. Folks.. some stores are actually selling thong underwear to elementary school aged girls. If you look at Victoria's Secret, the models they use more and more now, all look as though they're around 15.. but with breast implants. 15 is the new 21 sexually in the media.

These men are pigs.. no arguing that. But I'm speaking about their proclivity to seek out young girls. The other issue is control..

Our society is sick... and the media, the advertisers, and the corporations, are all keeping it sick.. for profit. Little girls can't be little girls anymore... Madison Avenue set their sights on the "tweeners", and now girls around 11 are being sexualized in advertising. Ask any porn store clerk what the most popular titles for anything are.. and it involves girls that are "barely legal". Look at the subject lines for the porn that is delivered to your email... same thing.

The society is sick, and these predators are a symptom. Until women start speaking up about the abuse of childhood, by profiteers, then it will never change. Instead, most women get so caught up in it.. becoming an accomplice in turning their daughters into sexual objects. Kids at my daughter's school had pierced tongues and bellies in jr. high, in high school? Breast implants, tattoos, 200 dollar haircuts.. and the parents are funding this. It's really sad.
