why do women use social networking to objectify themselves?

[895]

Objectification is something we've grown up surrounded by, so it's become almost normal to the younger generations. It was everywhere during my childhood.

I would see Porn magazines above the children's sweet section, car advertisements had women sprawled upon them, and women were referred to by their genitals.

I was one of the few teenagers that didn't have several Social Networking sites, and I didn't upload tonnes of sexual pictures. I wasn't cool or popular because I avoided this - I was weird for not doing it. There's huge pressure to join in with the crowds.

Furthermore, the vast majority of the women posting those types of images aren't usually the women complaining about objectification and unrealistic standards.
