Objectifies Women by Jeremy Merkel. The claim is apparent that after reading the title that young girls are being objectified by marketing. Merkel clearly dislikes the idea of marketing sexy clothes to young girls and teens. As a mother to three girls I have kept my girls from these types of stores.
