The sexualization of young girls: how to stop it? Feminists for Nonviolent Choices is sponsoring a series of events in Rochester this month, centered around that theme. Today we talked to international activist and author Melinda Tankard Reist, who has written extensively on the objectification of girls. We also heard from Mary Rose Somarriba, the culture editor of the new Verily Magazine for women.
