But by turning these observations into hysterical generalisations of empty-eyed girls going "wild" en masse, we do them a disservice. The girls, it would seem, are all right. It only takes a quick walk through a shopping centre to realise that there's nary a bare-midriffed Lolita to be new haven seen. When it comes to what they're actually doing, the hype once again exceeds the reality. A quarter of 15-year-old and half of 17-year-old Australian teenagers have had sex, but this new haven also means that more than half of them haven't. Tales of "train parties", where girls perform oral sex on a line of adolescent boys, are unverified urban legends. As The New York Times columnist David Brooks put it: "The fact is, sex is more explicit everywhere - on Desperate Housewives, on booty-quaking music videos, on the internet - except in real life." Most insulting is the assumption that teenage girls accept all this uncritically, that they're unwitting victims of a media that tells them only to look hot and seduce boys.
