"We're at this really interesting moment where the people rebelling against these sexualized messages are actually the young women themselves and I think that's very positive and in doing my research I was really amazed to see that studies have shown that young women are now preferring more wholesome role models," Shalit said.
Shalit said that this movement is occurring at a time when sexualized messages are being increasingly directed towards younger girls through imagery in items such as pre-teen magazines.
