“I think a huge part is how we're socialized growing up to see our value and worth as being tied into a relationship and how our culture teaches us a distorted sense of romantic love - can't live without you, can't breathe without you, I'll die without you. As teenage girls we believe that level of emotional intensity and dramatics equates with real love. We're also taught that if we date lots of people, then we're sluts, so at an early age we put all our eggs into one basket, so to speak, and concentrate on "the one".” PeopleThinkingBelieveRealAgeValuesCultureGirlSpeakTeachGrowing UpEmotionalBreatheReal LoveRomantic LoveTeenageTeenage Girl Author:Rachel Lloyd
“Every age, race, socio-economic background of men are 'johns.' It's a little more complicated who's doing the selling. The truth is that the average street pimp selling American girls is often a man of color, however, Mexican pimps are selling Mexican girls, Russian men are selling Russian girls etc. Those who profit off the sex industry overall are not the ones who are standing out on the street. They're the owners of massage parlors, escort agencies, strip clubs, and brothels.” MenAgeGirlTruth IsComplicatedSellingStanding OutMexicanMassagePimp Author:Rachel Lloyd
