One book which I have recently been reading and would greatly recommend to my audience is called "American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers." This book was written by a woman named Nancy Jo Sales who traveled all across the country to speak to more than 200 girls on their outlook concerning a) porn, b) social media, c) dating/hooking up, and d) sexism. I believe this book to be a very good representation of the current society which women face and perfectly emulates the degradations of porn and sexualization seen in America today. Although seen as a sort of "pleasure" mostly for men, pornography can definitely be a put-down for women in terms of their treatment and sexuality. To learn more, buy this book at your local Barnes and Noble or on Amazon.com. Happy reading!

AuthorHi, my name is Lauren (pseudonym) and I am currently a high school student in Houston. Just recently, my eyes were opened to the gore and outrage which sexism causes within our women. Already as a teenager, I am being harassed by young men, am incessantly told that my goal in life is to "have children and raise them well," among many other constraints. As a result, I have decided to create this blog and hopefully continue opening the eyes of both mine and many others towards the sexism within society. Archives
