According to a new study, a major proportion of young/teenage girls’ clothing is overtly ‘sexy’ or sexualising.
Researchers say that this has serious implications as girls are exposed to confronting the issue of sexual identity at a very young age, thanks to the clothing.
”Even though parents might see them as more acceptable [than purely sexy clothes], I’m not sure they’re perceived that differently”, study researcher Sarah Murnen, a social psychologist at Kenyon College in Ohio, said of the clothes that mixed sexuality and girlishness.
The study reveals that up to 30 per cent of teenage girls’ clothing available online in the US is sexualising.
