According to a new study, up to 30 percent of young girls' clothing available online in the US is 'sexy' or sexualizing. The study was carried out by Samantha Goodin, a former Kenyon College (Ohio, USA) student and a research team led by Dr. Sarah Murnen, Professor of Psychology at Kenyon College. In their view, this has serious implications for how girls evaluate themselves according to a sexualized model of feminine physical attractiveness. It makes them confront the issue of sexual identity at a very young age. Their findings were just published online in Springer's journal Sex Roles. According to 'objectification theory', women from Western cultures are widely portrayed and treated as objects of the male gaze. This leads to the development of self-objectification, in which girls and women internalize these messages and view their own bodies as objects to be evaluated according to narrow standards -- often sexualized -- of attractiveness. Bearing in mind the negative effects of self-objectification such as body dissatisfaction, depression, low confidence and low self-esteem, Goodin and team looked at the role of girls' clothing as a possible social influence that may contribute to self-objectification in preteen girls. They examined the frequency and nature of sexualizing clothing available for young girls (children not adolescents) on the websites of 15 popular stores in the US. Sexualizing clothing reveals or emphasizes a sexualized body part, has characteristics associated with sexiness, and/or carries sexually suggestive writing. They also looked at whether clothing items had childlike characteristics e.g. polka dot patterns and ribbons. Across all the stores, of the 5,666 clothing items studied, 69 percent had only childlike characteristics. Of the remaining 31 percent, 4 percent had only sexualized characteristics, 25 percent had both sexualizing and childlike features, and 4 percent had neither sexualized nor childlike elements. Sexualization occurred most frequently on items that emphasized a sexualized body part, such as shirts and dresses that were cut in such a way as to create the look of breasts, or highly decorated pants' pockets that called attention to the buttocks. The type of store was linked to the degree of sexualization, with 'tween' (or pre-teen) stores more likely to have sexualized clothing compared to children's stores. The authors conclude: "Our study presents the 'ambiguously sexualizing' category of girls' clothing. The co-occurrence of sexualizing and childlike characteristics makes the sexualization present in girl's clothing covert. Confused parents might be pursuaded to buy the leopard-print miniskirt if it's bright pink. Clearly, sexiness is still visible beneath the bows or tie-dye colors. We propose that dressing girls in this way could contribute to socializing them into the narrow role of the sexually objectified woman."

Read More »Muslims generally avoid painting their nails because it creates a barrier between their skin and the water during Wudu (water ablution), meaning that the water will not reach every part of their body, as it is required before prayers.
There is good news for Muslim women who want to pray with their nails painted. Orly’s halal nail polish line, Halal Paint, promises to cater to the needs of Muslim women all over the world. The American company collaborated with lifestyle and beauty website MuslimGirl to create the product line. According to a Huffington Post report, the nail polish line is a collection of six different water-permeable nail colors with names such as “Ig-Noor the Haters,” “#MuslimGirlFire,” and “The Perfect Amani-cure,” named after the MuslimGirl founder Amani Al-Khatahtbeh. Muslims generally avoid painting their nails because it creates a barrier between their skin and the water during Wudu (water ablution), meaning that the water will not reach every part of their body, as it is required before prayers. The new beauty line allows oxygen and water to penetrate through the polish coats, reaching the nail itself. It is also 13-free, meaning that it lacks 13 ingredients such as parabens, gluten, and animal derived ingredients. The nail polish does not require the application of any base or top coat. MuslimGirl’s chief of staff, Azmia Magane said on Halal Paint’s website that the polish line is important “because there are so many girls and young women who aren’t represented in mainstream beauty.” “They either don’t fit that definition or see things about them that are designed without them, instead of for them and by them. This is our way of bridging the gap,” she is quoted to have said. The Halal Paint nail polishes are available for pre-order on the brand’s official website for $49. They only ship to the United States.
