Show A8 OPINIONS JANUARY 6, 2014 GOOD GIRL from A6 something sinful. When it comes down to young girls and boys it is seen that more often than not young boys learn more about sex through their friends and media than their female counterparts. Young adults are coming of age in a hyper-sexualized society that embraces male sexuality and sexual expression through pornography, masturbation, casual sexual partnerships ("friends with benefits") and objectification of women. Thus, we have a generation of sexual "empowered" and educated men--remember, educated through media--and a generation of women who are confused about their sexuality.

Society is a reflection of media and media is a reflection of society. If society starts to make a turnaround in attitudes about sexuality, sexual expressions and gender, this double standard will begin to fade from media. The less this double standard is seen in media, the less it will be seen in society. It is a vicious cycle that must end, and it starts with society. And we are society. The status quo cannot continue to stand if we are to have a sexually liberated society, especially when it comes to women. It takes two to tango, two to engage in sexual acts but only one to break the social construct. It only takes one person to start a revolution. If one person with a strong voice within society or the media takes a stand against this double standard, we will surely see a turning of the tides. • Join our inside sales team.
