Answer to Question 1

Sexual scripts are highly gendered in two ways women's increasing hypersexualization and a persistent sexual double standard. In virtually every media formincluding television, music videos,
magazines, video games, the Internet, and advertisinggirls and women are sexualized and physical beauty is emphasized. Such sexualization can result in females being dissatisfied with their bodies, experiencing low self-esteem, tolerating sexual harassment and sexual violence, and a greater likelihood of having sex at an early age. Sexualized messages are reaching ever-younger audiences and teach or reinforce the idea that girls and women should be valued for their sexiness rather than their personalities and abilities.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
