Ready access of pornography to children (mostly via cell phones) at the moment they reach puberty and are beginning to identify with their gender and work through identity issues was definitely a "cause", along with the numbness of most adults to that pornography and who is watching it.
Ironically, the girls don't want to be seen as "sluts" and "hos"--they have internalized much shame and censure already--and don't really understand much about sex and consequences.
To my horror, I once saw a youtube video of 6-graders twerking. Tall heavy girls and short boys. That scared the bejeezus out of me as I tried to imagine how the country got this way and the decisions these kids would make as young adults. The horse is out of the barn. Should we close the door or look for the horse?
Alternatively we could make all women wear burkas and beat them when they don't follow the orders of their male relatives or husbands. I wonder why we haven't seen that movie? Maybe part of the problem is that only one culture's flaws or issues is subject to close scrutiny whereas criticism of others is completely haram?
But what do I know?
