What about the Boys?: Sexualization, Media and Masculinities

Abstract

Familiar responses to the issue of boys and sexualization lead in opposite directions. Some suggest that we really don’t need to worry about them at all, as a mother in my earlier research argued: ‘Well, you don’t need to worry about a wee boy dressing to look older and looking tarty or anything’ (Buckingham et al., 2010). Others, such as those below, suggest that we do need to worry about them (sometimes, in fact, we need to be extremely concerned indeed, as the last quotation from Bronwyn Davies implies), but in a very different way from how we worry about girls. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
