From the Paper:

"Much has been made of how the media practically compels women to think of themselves as objects. If a girl is not beautiful and successful in the ways depicted in advertising and few are then she would have to have the inner strength obtained by having adequate family and organizational/institutional support. So, one can posit one reason as the media and advertising images girls have to contend with, and at just that pubescent period of their lives when they are probably feeling a little lost in various ways in any case."
