LOS ANGELES (December 15, 2010) – In a new report, the Parents Television Council<\/a>TM<\/sup> details the nature and extent of Hollywood’s obsession with sexualizing teen girls.<\/strong> PTC’s report, Tinseltown’s New Target: A study of Teen Female Sexualization on Primetime TV, is based on a content analysis of the most popular primetime broadcast shows among 12 to 17-year-olds during the 2009-2010 TV season. To view PTC’s full report, visit: www.parentstv.org\/sexualization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PTC found that when underage female characters appear on screen: more sexual content is depicted; <\/strong>the teen girls show next to no negative response to being sexualized; more sexual incidents occur outside of any form of a committed relationship; and there is less accuracy in the TV content rating.<\/p>\n

“The results from this report show Tinseltown’s eagerness to not only objectify and fetishize young girls, but to sexualize them in such a way that real teens are led to believe their sole value comes from their sexuality. This report is less about the shocking numbers that detail the sickness of early sexualization in our entertainment culture and more about the generation of young girls who are being told how society expects them to behave,” said PTC President Tim Winter.
