On Teen Sexting: Same Sexism, Different Technology - by Alexis C. Madrigal/ Tech/ TheAtlantic.com

" A new study finds adolescent girls and boys are equally likely to sext, but girls face harsher repercussions from their peers.

One of the oldest, most outrageously sexist ideas presents sex as a lose-lose for girls: girls who have sex are slutty, while girls who don't have sex are prudes. This was stupid in the era of black-and-white television, and it is just as stupid in the era of the smartphone..."

Sexting is the New 'First Base' - by Russell Saunders/ Kids These Days/ TheDailyBeast.com
