I think that it harms male children also, giving them unhealthy and untrue images regarding females which may distort and damage their thoughts and affect their actions when dealing with females.

Agreed Dj, I was looking at it from the perspective of a feminist with a daughter - it is damaging all round. But ultimately though it is the girls/women who suffer from this perpetuated skewed view of gender difference and sexualisation.

You’ve got to wonder really! I can think of lots of better things to spend the research grant money on than answering questions we already know the answers to.
