Further to my study of the UK ‘rape gang’ phenomenon, there is another aspect we need to consider. Even at toddler age, girls want to try on their mother’s lipstick and high heels. We laugh and call it cute. By the age of five, they can be dancers, models, actors, competitive sports, all of which require an adult outlook. They are showered with attention and flirted at. Touched. They like it. Thai temple fairs often have reviews of these little girls, usually tweens in skimpy outfits. Beauty pageants for children, tweens, teens. And then comes the brassiere. Every tween wants to be fitted for a bra even when there’s nothing there. All kids want to be seen as grown-up, sophisticated. Young teens start wearing sparkly eye shadow, a little blush. Even before they really have any idea what sex is (except for the mechanics of porn), they want to look sexy. Girls and boys can’t determine fantasy from reality. Boys expect every girl to be ready for sex and girls think dropping to their knees is foreplay. What makes them vulnerable, though, is more emotional than a paint job. They want to be loved, they crave attention, affection and when a boy or man starts to lavish it on them, they soak it up like a sponge. Of course, boys, and men, basically <just> want to get into girls’ pants. The girls really don’t know what those feelings are but they still respond to them. Touching a boy and being touched is new, exciting. Today’s role models are celebrities and girl groups wearing next to nothing. Girls copy not only the dress but the attitude. Brooke Shields was 15 when nothing came between her and her Calvins. If you're telling me she wasn't sexy, you've got nothing in y our pants. And rap is equally to blame for skewed values. Before 16, it’s called rape. And if there is a significant age difference, I agree that it is. So what do we do with the pretty birds and the bees who are eager to sting them? By the time they’re teenagers, many girls are out of control even with a solid family.
