I love the new look and totally agree with the subject. My daughter is 17 but not nearly as "mature" as her counterparts. For this reason she does not seem to fit in with the clique. She was even told that if she wanted to hang with a certain group for her senior year they were going to have to take her shopping and step her game up. Of course, this meant buying clothes that were inappropriate. I shut that down quickly. I told her if they don't accept you as you are, they are not people you want to call friends. These young girls are something else. SMH I am glad I came back through to your space. I love the new look and totally agree with the subject.

When I started reading that thread, I really began to try to pinpoint the exact moment of the shift. Late 90's? Early millennium? You're right. EVERYTHING is hypersexualized. I posted a quote on G+ not to long ago about how we no longer create and develop our own sexual fantasies because they are pre-programmed and spoon fed to us. There has to be something wrong with that! And YES! The girls on the old shows were still doing all of the same things. I remember when Brenda lost her virginity on 90210. But it wasn't the focus of the program. Now, all of the teen dramas have sex every episode and show the high school girls in better Vicki's Secrets than most adults. Thanks, Roni!

I'm a few years younger than you, but I've noticed the difference as well. I get so nostalgic when I see pictures like the ones you posted - wondering where did all those women go? I guess they got older, got married, and had babies. Their replacements, however, I just can't get with. It's when I talk about old TV programming because even some of the pictures in the collage are of TV sitcoms. Now, even Disney shows are over sexualized. Girl gets her first kiss, girl gets her first boyfriend, etc. Women were doing those things before it wasn't their focus. I remember wanting to be Laura Winslow. The innocence of the times are gone. I’m loving the new look!
