There was a really interesting article by Janice Turner in the Opinion section of The Times last Saturday, 11 September 2010 entitled ‘Girls need an alternative to the porn scipt’:

“It is clear now that several generations of teenagers have grown up adsorbing the script of pornography.  It is time to offer an alternative.  In the discussion of Wayne Rooney’s exploits the distinction was made between the heartless hoooker and the long-suffering wife.  But the choice is not slag or WAG.  “Empowerment” is not about having breasts that boys on Facebook think are great, or bagging a rich meal ticket.”

Unfortunately, I can’t give a link to the article on The Times website due to restrictions in accessing the site without paying.  However, I do think it is an article that you should read and so I have attached a PDF of it scanned from my paper copy of the newspaper – bought by me on Saturday.  I don’t know if I am infringing any copyright restictions – and if I am then I am more than happy to remove the document – but I hope that I am not and that you can read the article in this instance without having to pay to do so.
