Last night I went to another seminar at church called Living in a Pornified World, presented by Melinda Tankard Reist. I have heard Melinda speak on several occasions previously, and followed her Facebook page and blog for a few years, so I thought I was primed for this presentation. But still, it was disturbing and confronting as she showed us images of this pornification, all taken from mainstream media, to raise awareness of what exactly is happening out there (in case you hadn’t noticed). We were then presented with a lot of research showing the results of this pornification on the development and mental health of girls, in particular, and alarming information on what young people now perceive as “normal” and expected behaviour. One shudders.
