I only watched some clips, so won't super address the movie context, but are you really comparing 11/12 year old girls dancing the same way as a 17 year old and say it is ok? So, is it ok to have sex with 12/13 year olds, since most girls a few years older (18) can do it with anyone? (and in Europe from 16?) I am sorry but I don't understand. I hope it isn't what you are trying to say, but if you think a behaviour of an 11 year old is ok because a 17 year old also does it, I just can't agree and hate that train of thought. * this coming from an european liberal with an 8 year old boy

I am saying that if it's ok for day TV to show 17 year old girls dancing like this, then yes, we should expect our 11 year olds to do the same. Why are you bringing sex into this. Do you see sex on day TV with 17 year old girls?

  > Is it normal for a 17 year old girl to behave like that on TV? How about 20? I have seen 17/20 year olds in tv (I think, I don't double check actress ages, but I'm sure at least in porn there are 18 year old ones) and I WOULD NEVER expect to see a show/movie about 11 year olds emulating that. And you are basically saying (because it is in tv) we should accept the same behaviour from an 11 year old as an 17 year old, which I strongly oppose. there is 6 years difference and A LOT of things in between for me to find it ok. I don't mind a 17/18 old to be naked on tv, I don't think it is ok for an 11 year old. I think it is ok for 17/18 year old to emulate sex/erotic things on tv, I don't think it is for a 11 year old. There is also the concept of consent, which I don't think an 11 year old should be able to give to spread her legs on tv, while a 17 year old should (maybe not all but hey...).

    Who cares, don't watch it if you don't like it.

    I believe the person you were replying to meant that if our daughters consume media filled with pop stars dancing provocatively, then they will emulate it, whether at home alone, with their friends, at a talent show, or a cheerleading or dance team. I think you were interpreting their comment as saying that we should expect society to allow kids to act this way on a public stage, when they were in fact just commenting that we can only expect kids to act this way at home given what they are exposed to. They are not saying that this is a positive outcome.
