A Woman’s Unnecessary Work: On the Sexualization of Young Girls at CSH
"Women are human beings. They deserve equal treatment; they deserve to walk down the street without fear; they deserve to live freely without feeling the need to constantly prove themselves; they deserve the respect that men are given the moment they are born."
Picture this…
It’s July 2023 and you just finished a long day of work. You’ve been raving all day to your best friend about how excited you are to go see the new “Barbie” movie with her, her sister, and another one of their friends. You all made a group chat together just to coordinate outfits (everyone was wearing pink of course), and none of you can wait to see what the movie is all about. Your choice of outfit for the night is a pink and white striped crop top and a pair of jeans.
The movie starts and you and your friends all cry at one point or another, not only because of how the movie makes you feel seen, but also because of how it reminds you of a younger version of yourself that used to covet “Malibu Barbie” dolls.
Because you went to a late screening, you don’t leave the movie theater until around 9:30 PM. It doesn’t matter to you right now though; in fact, it’s the last thing on your mind as you just keep replaying your favorite moments from the movie. You get on the train, and you don’t realize it until later, but you’re the only girl on the train car.
With your wired Apple headphones from 2017 in your ears, you don’t realize it, but the group of middle aged men sitting across from you have been staring at you for a little too long, almost as if you’re the piece of dinner they’ll be eating for dinner tonight. Then, the winking starts, accompanied by the awkward smiling as you just try to brush them off and count down the stops until you get off in your head.
When you get off the train, the first thing you do is call one of your friends, a habit that you picked up after, not too long before, you were followed both by a man on foot and a man in his car who tried convincing you to get in.
You’re constantly looking over your shoulder as you speed walk all the way home. On your walk you only get catcalled once — compared to the amount of times you usually get catcalled, this is a success. “Barbie” is now the last thing on your mind.
This moment is not just my reality, but it is also the reality of various women and young girls on a daily basis. Catcalling, sexualization, and harassment are just a few of the things that they’re taught to normalize because of how often they occur.
But why do we allow these things to continue to happen? Why do we keep making women feel like they don’t matter or that they matter less than their male counterparts?
In order to answer these questions, I think we should dive a little deeper into the culture between girls and boys at CSH. What is the female experience like here? What have the experiences of female staff members in STEM been? What does the dynamic between girls and boys say about the community as a whole? I want to consider all of the things that we as a society often fail to consider before we harmfully praise and give power to men who intentionally put down, sexualize, harass, and harm women.
PART 1: YOUNG WOMEN AT CSH
When we think of school, we think of it as a place of learning; a place for students to feel safe; a place where creativity is encouraged; not a place where girls go to be sexualized and harassed by their male peers on a daily basis, and the sad truth is that this is exactly what it has become for many young women at CSH.
If you’re reading this and you think that it’s normal for young women to constantly experience such treatment at the hands of their male peers in a space that's supposed to be professional, here’s a newsflash: IT SHOULD NOT BE! But the sad truth is that it is normal; in fact, it’s so normal that instead of addressing it, we’ve normalized it so much that when such negative treatment happens, many young women simply accept it as being an unchangeable and regular occurrence.
However, before we get too ahead of ourselves, I want to focus on the experiences of young women at CSH with all of the aforementioned things they experience on a daily basis. As such, I interviewed various young women across the 12th grade to allow them to tell their stories.
One of the girls that I spoke to told me a story about how she’s been constantly sexualized and harassed by a fellow Senior who we’ll call Tom, a name that also popped up in various other interviews. Over a large span of her time at CSH, she says that she’s caught him making snarky comments about her and her body, and that even though he has a girlfriend, he still continues to make them. She told me that, even outside of the classroom space, “he’ll throw kisses at [her],” and when she asked him to stop because it made her uncomfortable, he said “I don’t care if you have a boyfriend, I’ll still blow kisses.” These interactions (among others) have left her feeling incredibly weird and uncomfortable, especially in a space where she has to see the person constantly sexualizing and harassing her.
It doesn’t end there though. Another young woman in the 12th grade also recounted to me a story about how she was eating a banana at lunch and Tom saw her and resorted to making a sexualizing comment about how she was “sucking a dick.”
The important thing to acknowledge here, however, is that these interactions aren’t just limited to one person; there are also other boys in the 12th grade (and the school at large) who do the same.
One girl told me that she feels uncomfortable getting up to get lunch and while leaving school because she has often heard “underclassmen or people in our grade making comments about [her] butt and just about [her] in general that made [her] uncomfortable.” Even the simplest of actions by young women at CSH prompt them to be sexualized by their male peers, and it shouldn’t be that way.
Another told me about a time when she was wearing the designated CSH uniform sweatpants and sweatshirt. When she walked by one of her male peers, he said “your a** is fat.” The incident made her feel that “regardless of the dress code [she] was going to get sexualized.” She ended up laughing the comment off in front of the boy because she “didn’t want to make it awkward, but it really did bother her.”
This sentiment is also one that even I have stories to tell about. I can recall my sophomore year gym class where I was the only girl, and given the fact that I have a chest that falls on the bigger size, I was often the target of objectifying remarks from my male peers in the class, even though I was wearing the same exact clothes as they were (a t-shirt and basketball shorts).
There was also an incident earlier this year during one of our spirit weeks where a young woman in the 12th grade was dress coded for having her shoulders out by Mr. Mosley, which she proceeded to cover up with a cardigan for the rest of the day. However, one of her male counterparts was able to walk around with his shoulders out all day without being dress coded. It wasn’t until this young woman sent an email asking why she was dress coded and this boy wasn’t that some accountability was taken.
However, the truth is that, since this incident, not much has changed. Boys walk around in nothing but a tank top with their shoulders out and barely ever get told to cover up.
Why enforce a dress code for the sake of professionalism if it’s clear that even when young women at CSH follow the dress code, they aren’t going to be treated professionally or equally by not only their male peers but also some male staff members? The sad thing is, it doesn’t even end there.
There are two boys in the senior class – who I will name Matthew and Andrew – who are just as, if not more, notorious for their constant sexualization of girls in the grade. Not too long ago actually, they were involved in an incident where they had been going around making sexualizing comments and asking boys in the grade to rate and compare two girls in the 12th grade.
I got an opportunity to speak with the two girls, who felt very hurt when the entire incident occurred because they felt that after 4 years they had “developed a mutual respect” between themselves and the two boys. And while of course they had “heard things about them in the past” when it came to the way they treated women, they “never saw them in that way until it happened to [them].” What makes the whole situation even worse is the fact that once they had found out what Matthew and Andrew had been saying about them, they waited to confront them, so the boys “acted normal and thought they could get away with it.” It wasn’t until these two young women chose to speak up about it that they were given some hope the boys wouldn’t be let off the hook so easily.
As you probably could’ve guessed, they were let off the hook after the incident was brought to the attention of their advisors and the boys lied to them about the incident and claimed they had “changed” (which isn’t something that happens in a day).
Another girl recounted to me a time when she’d heard Matthew make a comment about how, once he graduated, he’d like to “tap that ass” in reference to one of the female staff members at CSH, a comment others have heard him make on various occasions about different female staff members.
I also spoke to various 12th grade boys and one of them told me that they’d once been approached by Matthew and Andrew and asked who they’d f*ck between two 12th grade girls.
When I got the chance to meet with Matthew and Andrew, I asked them to comment on these incidents. They had the following to say:
[Matthew] “That’s where I kind of feel that sh*t gets taken out of hand because the way I see it is, I feel like talking about someone and saying someone is beautiful is natural. I feel like talking about them sexually is, I wouldn’t say it’s a good thing, but I would say it’s a normal thing. I feel like it’s normal for both sides to talk about one another. I feel like once one side hears what another side hears, it’s different.”
[Andrew] “It’s like a game of telephone where one person hears one thing and then they kind of skew it a bit and then it goes onto the next person and they kind of skew it a bit, and it’s like all over the place. But I think that if we’re just talking about beauty and attraction in general it’s like, it’s normal for a boy and people in general to just talk about who they’re attracted to or just have those kinds of discussions. It’s in human nature regardless of gender or sexual orientation, like it’s just natural.”
[Matthew] “I feel like for me personally if I think you look good or something I’m not afraid to say it, and I think for me it’s coming from honest intentions and then it’s taken left based on other scenarios. And I also feel like as a guy around this age it’s natural for the feelings to be talked about and the thoughts to be had, but it’s more unnatural for it to just be said. I think we all think it, and I just say I’m the one to say it.”
[Andrew] “Yeah cause it’s natural to have the thought, but it’s not natural to like spread it around. But the thoughts cross people's minds especially at this age with hormones and stuff.”
Matthew is right, it is normal to find people attractive and compliment them; however, it isn’t normal to sexualize them, harass them, and ask other people if they’d like to f*ck them behind their back.
What makes this even more interesting is the fact that Tom, Matthew, and Andrew, are all students who the school identifies and uses as representatives because they are considered exemplars of the CSH S.C.O.R.E values (self-awareness, consistency, ownership, resilience, and excellence). Why are we as a school placing those who have and continue to cause the most harm in our community in the spotlight?
Not even a few days after the aforementioned incident between Matthew, Andrew, and those two 12th grade girls, Matthew was given an award in front of the whole school for exemplifying one of the CSH S.C.O.R.E values. I asked all of the girls who shared their stories with me not only how they felt when they saw Matthew get this award, but also how they feel when they see these boys constantly praised regardless of the harm they continue to cause. They all unanimously agreed that they feel disgusted. One of the girls said that she feels CSH “doesn’t really know [how these boys truly act towards their female counterparts] and they wouldn’t really pay attention.” Another said that she feels instead of rewarding these boys for their continually harmful behavior, “[they] should be called out on [their] behavior.”
It is one thing to have someone sexualize and harass you constantly and get away with it. It is another thing for them to be placed on a pedestal and for their actions to be ignored while they are allowed to continuously cause more harm.
Right now, you may be asking: “why don’t these girls say something about it?” The truth is that they have, but when they get brushed off or the boys get off with a slap on the wrist, like they did in the case of Matthew, Andrew, and the two girls, it makes other girls not want to speak up because they know nothing will be done or the boys simply won’t listen. This is something that has been going on for years, and after so long it’s evident how in more recent cases, like the ones mentioned above, the young women of CSH feel as if the power of their voices has been diminished.
We can not expect our young women to defend themselves if we are constantly making them feel unseen and unheard.
PART 2: WHY ARE YOU SO COMFORTABLE?
Oftentimes, we talk about sexualization and harassment as something that just happens, but we never really stop to ask why men are so comfortable with treating women like that. Why is it so normal for men to just walk all over women and mistreat them?
One of the most obvious answers is that it’s because that’s what men see from an early age. When you look at the digital era that we are in now, you see misogynistic figures like Andrew Tate who have gained such a large following of (mostly) young men, and the influence that they have had.
For those who don’t know, Andrew Tate is a social media personality, with 8.8 million followers on X and whose TikTok videos have amassed over 12.7 billion views, who went viral in 2022 for his controversial comments and viewpoints. He has said that women should “bear responsibility” for being raped, a comment that got him banned from Twitter, and that he mainly dates 19 year old girls so he can “make an imprint” on them. He has even described himself as a misogynist, among other things. Not too long after going viral, Tate saw his downfall after being indicted on charges of rape and human trafficking. Some argue that he gives good financial advice, and even if that were to be true (which it isn’t), he also believes that women are below men and has spewed so much of this harmful rhetoric about the role that he thinks women should play, that a lot of young men actually follow what he says.
Senior Jeremiah Padial believes that men are so comfortable with sexualizing and mistreating women for 3 reasons:
“No one calls them out on it publicly”
“Idols like Andrew Tate and their peers make them feel like it’s normal by hyping them up”
“They don’t face consequences for their actions or their continued behavior”
When Senior Adyel Lantigua sees this behavior from other boys around him, he thinks it’s simply “ugly.”
One of the young women that I spoke to believes that the reason why Andrew Tate has such a hold on men is because “they look up to him and that’s what they envision themselves to be,” and, since “guys want to be the alpha, [they] think it’s biological to be above women.”
Another young woman believes that the way men treat women comes from a place of needing “validation” from their male friends, a sentiment that all of the girls I interviewed also agreed with. To her, “guys have a need to prove their masculinity by treating women wrong whereas women see them as equals, [and] it’s really internalized misogyny at the end of the day.”
Think of it this way — when you do something bad, you know that it’s bad because you get called out on it, but if you do something bad and all of your friends are hyping you up and Andrew Tate agrees with you, you’re going to keep doing it.
However, even boys who aren’t hooked onto Andrew Tate’s every word still sexualize and harass women, so the next place I looked for answers was in their upbringing.
All of the boys that I interviewed felt that their relationship with their parents, and even seeing the dynamic between their father and mother, does impact the ways in which they treat women.
Senior David Jimenez feels that “it not only goes back to how they grew up viewing women, but also how kids often view women at a younger age through pornographic content, so as they get older the way they view women is more sexualized - less like a human and more like an object of desire and it doesn’t help that social media has made thing more sexualized with things like Only Fans (OF).”
Humans often learn from sight, so if you’re a young man and you see an important male figure in your life mistreating an important female figure in your life, it’s going to impact you and the way you treat women (be it good or bad).
CSH Director of STEM Ms. Liani views Andrew Tate, and other things that influence the way men treat women as things that are “meant to be divisive.” To her, all of these things are “extreme for a reason and the only way to take away the power they have is to talk about it. The goal is to dismantle that power, and that’s only going to happen through conversations [where she hopes] that our young men actually listen when our girls say how these things make them feel.”
Another important point to go back to is the fact that men often mistreat women for validation from their male peers. What’s interesting about this though is that we never ask what those male peers do in those moments of mistreatment — are they bystanders? Defender? Sexualizers?
All of the boys that I interviewed expressed to me how there have been instances where they were bystanders, and while they want to be defenders, who not only call out their male peers on their behavior but also stand up for their female peers, and are actively working towards doing so, it’s hard because they aren’t always sure if speaking up against their friends’ actions towards women will change anything.
As someone who has been a bystander in the past when young women at CSH have been mistreated by his peers, and most recently in an incident involving Matthew and Andrew, David Jimenez believes the reason why he’s taken that stance “could be the nature of being a New Yorker” but is also in part because his father was a bystander when it came to his sister, so when he saw his father not really upstanding to anything, he didn’t see the use in also doing it himself.
It all intersects. The things men see on social media, pornography, their parents' relationship (and lack of it), and their desire for validation – all contribute to the ways they treat women.
But let’s be clear here… just because this explains it doesn’t excuse it, and it shouldn’t take a woman being harmed for boys to stand up to their friends.
PART 3: BIG GUYS, BIG PROBLEMS
Former President Donald Trump is someone who is always in the news for something (be it good or bad), but most recently he was in the news for being ordered by a judge to pay E. Jean Caroll $83.3 million following years of insults, sexual abuse, instances of rape, and defamation.
Now, this shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the fact that Donald Trump is the only American president found legally liable for sexual abuse, but it’s important because it reveals something about the pervasive patriarchal culture we have allowed into our everyday lives.
Before the 2020 election, the following video of Donald Trump making vulgar comments about women to the then host of “Access Hollywood,” Billy Bush arose:
Donald Trump is a misogynist, and just like many other men like him, he believes that he has the ability to not only control women, but also to use them however he pleases. “Grab ‘em by the pussy. You can do anything.” That is his belief, and it speaks volumes about the way in which he treats and views women. So, the only question that is really left to ask is why is a man who views the other half of the population in such a negative manner given the ability to hold such power?
Giving power to, and praising those who cause the most harm isn’t just something that happens at CSH, it’s something that happens on a daily basis right outside our doors. People knew that Trump made these comments, and still continues to make them, and yet they still voted for him to become the 45th President of the U.S. And as we saw with the E. Jean Caroll case, he has not changed.
Trump isn’t the only powerful man who is still celebrated despite his negative view of women. In 2021, Elon Musk tweeted the following: “Am thinking of starting a new university: Texas Institute of Technology & Science.” In case you didn’t realize it, Musk wasn’t actually interested in starting a new university, what he was interested in however was making a joke about TITS, the acronym of his “new university.” Not too long after he made this tweet, a Tesla factory worker came forward with a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment. According to her and some other female workers, the Tesla factory floor resembles that of a “fraternity,” and many of them experience nonconsensual physical advances and crude comments on a common basis (Elesser).
These men are more than capable of being upstanders for the way that women should be treated. If they can establish billion dollar empires then they should be more than able to take a stand against sexualization and harassment, but they don’t, and because they are such key figures in the lives of men like Andrew Tate is, they end up encouraging this harmful and degrading behavior.
When we continuously give power to the people whose actions are harmful to others we enable them to believe there is nothing wrong with what they are doing — we have replicated this patriarchal structure here within the walls of CSH, especially when we are awarding people whose actions we should hold accountable. Yet, CSH has a duty as a school that is educating young people to reimagine the possibilities of a patriarchal and misogynistic world instead of replicating them.
PART 4: IN THE REAL WORLD
In an ideal world, sexualization and harassment wouldn’t occur and women wouldn’t be intentionally put down by their male counterparts. Sadly, this isn’t an ideal world; it’s the real world where all of those things do happen.
It is a fact that women have to work infinitely harder than men to be taken seriously; it is a fact that women are sexualized and mistreated by men; it is a fact that being a woman automatically makes you be viewed as inferior because of the type of the world we live in. But it shouldn’t have to be that way, especially in the workplace and at academic institutions.
To dig a little deeper into this, I interviewed various female STEM teachers at CSH in order to learn a little bit more about their experiences in fields greatly dominated by men. And, if there is one place where CSH does deserve credit it’s in the fact that all of its department chairs (academic positions of leadership) are all women, which is something that is uncommon to see in the patriarchal world we live in.
CSH Math Department Chair Ms. Ytuarte attended UNC as a math major, something that she took great pride in, and she told me that, while attending a fair, one of the boys at the math table “laughed when [she] told him [her major was] math and that most people don’t make it through.” Something that she noticed was that there were only about three other girls who she saw consistently, which simply shows just how male-dominated STEM really is. However, being in a place where she was often looked down on by her male peers/made to feel she had something to prove meant that she often felt "more motivated to make it through so that I could be someone who actually understood what I was talking about." But when you really think about it, to her it still sucked because "[you] shouldn't need something negative to force you into proving yourself."
CSH Software Engineering Teacher Ms. Pham also had an experience similar to Ms. Ytuarte’s while she was a STEM major at Columbia. She told me about how, in one of her electronics labs, she was paired with an older student because the lab involved students from the school of General Studies, so people who have gone off to join the military and other professional things were often taking classes there. While working together, she experienced “condescending, patronizing, and sexist treatment,” and even unwelcome physical contact as one male student would “put his hand on the small of [her] back.” He would also try telling her what to do, even though her grade was better than his in the class.
Time and time again, where there is a woman amongst a bunch of men, it is the woman who has to prove that she belongs, not the men.
And the sad part is, this also happens in the workplace too.
CSH Computer Science Department Chair Ms. Agrawal worked at Google prior to teaching at CSH. While at Google, she worked as a product manager, which meant that she was often the one doing “working directly with government and corporate partners”. While working on one of her projects with a leader within the Indian education board, she percieved given a hard time because of the fact that she was “a woman, young, American, and despite being of Indian heritage, did not fluently speak Hindi.” The government official would proceed to purposely have meetings run in Hindi so Ms. Agrawal was cut out, even though one of the official languages of India, and the language they typically did business in, was English. And what makes it even worse, the male colleague from Google that Ms. Agrawal was working on the project with was being treated with a lot of respect.
Another big thing that happens to a lot of women in the workplace is that they are often tied to their male counterparts in some way, shape, or form.
CSH Chemistry Teacher Ms. Bute began dating her (now) husband during her first year of teaching, and worked at that same school for two years. As co-workers, they kept their relationship very “lowkey” so as to not draw any unnecessary attention. One thing to note is that at the time, her husband had about three more years of experience in education than she did. Once, when a fight broke out in front of her room, she went to get support from other staff members. Two days later, the men at the school told her husband “go get your woman,” implying that Ms. Bute’s behavior needed to be checked. They didn’t call her by her name, or by anything related to her own identity — they made “[her] identity tied to [her] husband’s.”
However, this same behavior towards female educators also happens at CSH, even if it’s not the exact same scenario.
CSH Biology Teacher Ms. Haught told me that she “tries to dress very sexless in the workplace both because of men and because of children” and feels she’s experienced some form of undermining at every job. One thing she’s experienced at CSH is that if a male teacher “feels you’re not being listened to, they will take it upon themselves to say the same information,” but what she doesn’t “think they realize [is that by doing so] they’re undermining [her] and devaluing [her] voice and position which should be equal to theirs.”
One thing that I asked all of the teachers I interviewed was if they feel that we’re progressing backwards from the #MeToo movement and into an era of regression. The one thing they all agreed on: we are regressing backwards, especially when you consider things like the overturning of Roe v. Wade. However, there’s still hope, which Ms. Pham shared with me in her belief that the #MeToo movement “is still relevant and still happening [even if] we don’t see it all the time anymore.”
As a society, it’s important to think about the ways in which we’ve failed women. Be it in the workplace, in educational spaces, and literally anywhere else. It isn’t right, and it most certainly isn’t fair for us to discredit women because of their gender and identity, and that’s something that needs to change.
TO CONCLUDE…
I asked every woman I spoke to if they had anything to say to boys and men or if there was anything they wanted to see change in the way men treat women. Here are their responses:
[12th Grade Girl] “I want them to consider how they think about and interact with women because I feel like right now it's not the best but it could be better; we’re in 2024, and it's the same as it was in the 1900s”
[12th Grade Girl] “Be more vulnerable, open, honest, and [do] not be afraid to love, [be] polite, show care, think on your own, and more.”
[12th Grade Girl] “I hope that they see us as equals and that they stop putting their fellow male friends on a pedestal.”
[12th Grade Girl] “I hope we get seen as equals, but I know at least in my lifetime it’s not going to happen, because it’s like no matter how much we’re progressing, we’re not getting anywhere, but I still hope in some lifetime we are seen as equal.”
[12th Grade Girl] “I hope it becomes more popular to stop saying it's not masculine to show emotion and talk to a girl, and even though we talk about equality, there are some things that men and women will disagree about so instead of calling a girl a b*tch, try learning her side”
[Ms. Liani] “Would you be okay if someone did or said that to your mother, sister, cousin, grandma, aunt, etc.? What's the difference between them and the women you are doing it to? It comes back to power and the power dynamics you are playing into, and in those moments you need to think about what privilege you have. At the end of the day you’re trying to take someone's power away, and when someone takes your power away, it doesn’t feel good.”
[Ms. Agrawal] “I would ask a student to think about what they are about to say and to relate it back to their mom, their sister, and future daughter. Is this how you'd want someone to talk to your [insert family member]?”
[Ms. Pham] “I'd want to ask them more about the why — like what kind of person do you think this makes you and what kind of person do you want to be? I think I just truly don’t understand and so I think I’d want to ask first because, otherwise, when it comes to telling them anything, I'm not the kind of person that they’d listen to anyways. You can change and grow, but if you're going to act a certain way, I want you to be conscious about why you’re making that decision. If you choose to be sexist, at least back it up with something, not just fear and ignorance or greed for power.”
[Ms. Bute] “It shouldn’t take somebody asking if you’ve had your mom, grandma, or sister go through something for you to care about the human in front of you. We often give men a pass for being good to women they’re related to instead of all people.”
[Ms. Ytuarte] “To the boys I’ll say that the othering that you feel for women is often what you’ve soaked up from society around you, and it’s based in fear of losing power- of not being the smartest person in the room. It’s also based on wanting someone to blame for your insecurity. You’re actually giving up your power when you subscribe to the idea that women are less than. This idea that if the status quo changes, you lose power is unsafe and embarrassing..”
[Ms. Haught] “What immediately comes to mind is the typical you come from a woman, but I think that women, just like you all, have thoughts and ideas and, more importantly, voices as well. The help we need is the room and space to share our voices and ideas.”
To the boys at CSH that are continuously sexualizing and harassing women: Grow up.
To CSH: Your young women matter, and it’s about time you made them feel like they do.
Women are human beings. They deserve equal treatment; they deserve to walk down the street without fear; they deserve to live freely without feeling the need to constantly prove themselves; they deserve the respect that men are given the moment they are born.
It’s up to us to make sure they are treated as such.
Have you felt diminished or unheard as a result of your gender? Would you like to share your own story? Feel free to share it at this link, and we may contact you in regards to a future issue of The Python Post.
