This is all very good - you've pointed out a problem, but you haven't suggested how to solve it. Writers can be widely applauded for pointing out the obvious with verbal panache but so what? This is market forces in operation... there is obviously an audience for this sort of programme and so it will continue to be written and it will continue to be made.

I can honestly say I've never watched Euphoria, Skins, Degrassi, 90210 or Gossip Girl - mostly for the reasons you've outlined. I've got zero interest in perpetuating those sorts of shows or endorsing their content.... you appear to have watched them all and you may well be the target market. Which begs the further question, after taking a hardline stance on sexualising young people, why on earth did you put up a photograph of this 16 year old character as the picture? The truth is, there's no real objection there, just the illusion of objection and a fair bit of rabble rousing. I'll give you your due though, it works for amassing an audience. As you've said (and I agree) we need society to change. Which is awkward because only one of us is watching Euphoria and only one of us put a picture of a scantily dressed 16 year old character front and centre of an article calling for change about the sexualisation of women.

If I was a cynical bird (and I am) - I would suggest that you're just as invested in sex selling your work as the average TV exec seems to be. It features very frequently in your articles. More so than the average writer I'd say. Your approach here, and in most of those articles, isn't solution focussed, it's financially incentivised focussed - passing off faux-feminist tub-thumping as progress. It isn't. You want to be less disturbed, switch the TV off. I can assure you, that's the quickest way to get those middle-aged male writers fired or replaced.

And before we kick off entirely at middle aged men... let's also remember 'Normal People' - reportedly a total teenage sex fest (I also didn't watch it) - written by Sally Rooney. Not whataboutism, just proof that sex sells regardless of who writes the bastard thing.
