Hypersexualized Women Say "Come Hither" http://eds.b.ebscohost.com/eds/detail?sid=120c24bc-ac80-4b88-bb54-8b0863fe6bd5%40sessionmgr113&vid=8&hid=107&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWRzLWxpdmUmc2NvcGU9c2l0ZQ%3d%3d#db=f5h&AN=69861448

In this article, the sociologists state that the sexualization of men and women in pop culture has increased in recent years. It is common for performers to use their sexuality to gain fans, however this is becoming more common amongst women. The article gives statistics showing that over the years the male performers are less sexualized and the women performers are increasingly used as sexual objects. This directly relates to how the performers tend to use male backup dancers versus their female backup dancers. As seen in many of our posts, the performers tend to use men extras on stage while the female backup dancers are increasingly sexualized to the point of sexual objectification.
