Marcia's 11-year-old daughter, Tanya, has asked for a skimpy bikini for her birthday because all her friends plan to wear sexy swimwear they saw in Teen Vogue this summer. Marcia sees this request as an effect of widespread sexualization of young girls in the society. How could she respond to the request to counteract this effect?
A) She could contact all Tanya's friends' mothers and organize an intervention to make the girls understand they bring shame to their families by dressing like little prostitutes.
B) She could get Tanya a regular swimsuit for her birthday and tell her that if she wants a sexy bikini, she has to find a summer job and buy it herself, to understand the value of money.
C) She could ground Tanya for the summer, take away her phone and magazines, and disconnect the internet to cut her off from the bad influence.
D) She could try to explain to Tanya that she doesn't have to look sexy to be liked by her friends, and that her value as a person doesn't depend on what teen magazines, TV, or the Internet tell her to be.
