Sexy Selfie Nation is launching on
May 20!
When we criticize young people for wearing revealing outfits and sharing sexy selfies, we are losing the plot. The problem is not with the actions young women take but with the toxic, sexist conditions they are responding to. Everyone should be able to stand up for themselves, experience a sense of bodily autonomy, and shape and share their image on their own terms.
“Leora Tanenbaum’s gift is speaking directly to young women without judgment or shame about the trickiest of topics—objectification, sexual agency, bodily autonomy—and what and where those lines might be. Sexy Selfie Nation is an indispensable guide to helping them define and make their choices in a culture that sexualizes them from childhood and then blames them when they fight back."
