@nickysielicki I agree with your sentiment. Children always had peer influence. But the accessible sexualized media streams -- have become an overpowering influence. It is so powerful, that many have been brainwashed to think that it is 'normal' and just the sign of modern times. Just like you, I do not think so. Just looking at the salary/compensation of the folks in the enterainment industry (moves/sports/etc) -- it shows how disproportion their influence and reach is, compared to any other historical presedent. Clearly, enterntainer skills have been 'multipled' by the TV, and now internet explosion. That makes them very influential as well as accessible. It is not engineers/statesman/doctors/accomplished military personnel -- that drive the 'standards' and the influence. It is, instead the folks from sports, entertainment and fashion industries. They have their own set of standards (or whatever you might call that) -- it is based on sexuality, appearance, being funny, being dismissive and 'outspoken' for something. The above traits, when fire-housed on our kids through the they information channels, are very difficult for us as parents -- to manage/reason about.
