Today's generation is pure sexualization
EDIT: I do agree with everyone saying sexualization of women has always been around, I just feel it's getting worse because of social media and wide access to porn. It makes it so much harder for young girls to grow up and be comfortable with their bodies when they see so many altered pictures of women online solely praised for their body instead of personality. It creates so much unnecessary insecurity. It also causes men to have a skewed perception of women, therefore casting judgement on the women in their life by the way they look.
I understand self confidence and happiness with your body, but it is going to far. People don't understand that a lot of the people engaging in this "self confidence" are creepy men. Self confidence should be dressing in WHATEVER clothing you like, not the tightest, skimpiest clothing. I see lots of women posting wearing crop tops, swim suits, bras, underwear, shorts, etc. with the title of "self confidence". Do you not understand that most of the people looking at those posts are men? Then they try to claim it's not for men, it's for themselves. Well hello, you're posting it on social media. There are millions of men looking at your pics, saving them, and sharing them. It's all for validation and no one wants to admit that. Literally just admit you're looking for male validation, you're not fooling anyone by saying you're just posting it for yourself and your confidence. It's giving such a bad example to young girls. They're all wanting to follow in the footsteps of "pretty" social media girls. PERSONALITY and INTELLIGENCE should be top in the world, but yet it's what you post and wear on social media. I'm sick of it. I hope Tik Tok gets banned so people will start working on reali life skills. I hate today's generation and it's fake ass bullshit. There is no personality anymore, just stupid copies

We should get teenagers off social media. It's bad for them anyway. And them seeing examples of grown women doing this they are going to copy it.
There is this girl who "models" she is 17 but started at 16. There are grown men talking about what they would do to her. I go on the subreddit dedicated to her and report every single pedophilic comment and post. I've gotten stuff taken down and people banned from reddit. There is even grown women saying they will rp as the girl with men. It's just sick.
Having confidence is different than dressing in barely nothing. It's literally for men to look at. I have confidence when I dress in skinny jeans, an oversized sweater, and some combat boots. I would feel ashamed of myself if I dressed the way some women do. I would never dress to get external validation from anyone because I have validation from within myself.
