It may be part of society and all, but let facts be facts here. Where I live there are 9 year old getting pregnant and it's the girls doing the chasing not the boys anymore. And I really think TV should be monitored for children and get them off their asses and outside to play, get into sports like children should be doing at that age.
Asking or rather telling someone to turn off their TV or radio and read a book when expressing an opinion is a little off.
I'm sure there are a few 9 year olds getting pregnant, but I suspect that is more the exception than the rule. You're right about the girls doing the chasing though and some of that does fall on what they're seeing and hearing on TV. But, as you stated, monitor what they watch, get them involved in other things like sports (both of which I have done with my 9 yr old son) and you lessen the impact those things can have.
As far as "telling" her to turn off the TV, I thought I was just stating the obvious. It seemed so because there were several other people who agreed and said the same thing.
Look, no one is being forced to watch the "garbage" that runs rampant on TV. No one is being forced to listen to the sexually overt songs on the radio. Personally, I only listen to NPR and it is for that reason. I would rather learn something interesting than hear some drivel, but hey, that's me.
I understand her point, and like I said, I agree with certain aspects of it. I'm not being argumentative. I am simply pointing out ways for her to mitigate her exposure to what it is that makes her crazy.

you all" I feel that I would be included in the "all" part. I just gave you some feedback from an (my subjective) objective view about how your moniker can be seen as someone that's an advocate for sexual connotations. It's like saying you hate candy with a Mars? bar in your mouth.
