Paris Hilton may be a role model for your teenage daughter.
Don't scoff.

According to a new book by a leading US political commentator, teenage girls see leading celebrities as role models and value being sexy over being intelligent, reported The Scotsman.

The book Prude: How The Sex- Obsessed Culture Damages Girls is written by Ms Carol Platt Liebau, who is also the first female managing editor of Harvard Law Review.

She states in the book that celebrities like Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears should be blamed for valuing sexuality above all else.

Singer Christina Aguilera was also named in the book as having a negative influence on teenage girls.

She writes: 'The overwhelming lesson teenagers are now learning from the world around them is that being 'sexy' is the ultimate accolade, trumping intelligence, character and all other accomplishments.

'In a culture that celebrates Paris Hilton and thong underwear, there's scant modesty or achievement that isn't coupled with sex appeal.

'Girls are being led to believe that they're in control when it comes to sexual relationships.

'But they're actually living in a profoundly anti-feminist landscape where girls compete for attention on the basis of how much they are sexually willing to do for the boys.

'And living in an overly sexualised culture takes a toll on girls.'

Ms Liebau's book has caught the attention of women's groups who warn that the sexualisation of young girls is making them increasingly vulnerable.

A spokeswoman for Rape Crisis Scotland said: 'We are concerned about the over-sexualisation of children and the effect it has on women and girls' self-esteem.

'Young women do experience a lot of pressure to have sex.'

A spokesman for Scottish Women Against ****ography said: 'It's setting young women and girls up as targets. The idea that this is sexual liberation is just rebranding the same oppression.'

But according to Mr Phillip Hodson, a fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in London, the influence of the Hollywood media has made society more focused on looks.

He said: 'I think the problem is exaggerated. Nature wishes you to breed, so sexuality has always been there. What's wrong with being intelligent and taking care of yourself?

'But if you are just trading on your sexuality, the big question is what are you going to do when you lose your looks?'



What ever happend to parents taking responsilbity for their damn kid. Celebs are not the reason you kid is dressing or acting sexy you are the problem. If i ever tried to wear 1/3 of what some of these girls where wearing when i grew up i would have the **** smacked out of me. Stop blaming celebs for your kids and start being a parent and setting bounderies and not blaming someone else when your kids act up

The kids wouldn't be getting these ideas if they didn't see the celebrities that they idolize doing it. You can't place the blame on the parents because they can only do so much to stop what their kids are doing, especially outside of the house.

Yeah but who job is it to raise their kids the parents? My parents have raised me well enough to know better and say you do know what you see on TV is not real. It pisses me off when parents these days are so fing lazy that cant even raise their kids right. i remeber seeing a mom the other day saying i buy the skanky cloths for my daughter being she will fight me tooth and nail if i dont. i am thinking what a moron do your job and tell you kids that she cant have it. Sure she might steal it from someone else or borrow and if you see her with those cloths you take them away from her too. You dont let your kids have what ever they want and then sit and bitch and moan when your kid starts to rebell or act out. Parenting is a full time job you either do it right or you dont do it at all

In the words of Khia, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ...
