For people who weren’t around in the 70s and 80s trust me the sexism and sexual abuse back then was unreal!
How Shields was treated was not unusual at all.

It was obviously acceptable then. They put it in a magazine to prove the point.

I was a bit young so I don’t remember well, but wasn’t there a mainstream movie about a girls sports team that was essentially just teen (13+ not 18+) softcore lesbian porn? I think one of the Hemmingway sisters was in it.

AND IT WAS BILLED AS FAMILY ENTERTIANMENT TOO!!!

Not exactly of boomer age myself but deducting that you’re younger I think it’s pretty sad that you have this opinion…
Yeah, teenage girls are interested in sex. Even lesbian sex! Sorry. It’s sad that you think it’s ‘unhygienic’ or whatever that there’s movies about it.
A few decades later American Pie broke the box office on the same premise. Is that ok because it’s all heterosexual?

Read my comment again. In the edits I clarified that my memory jammed Personal Best and Little Darlings together.
Yes, I am younger than a boomer, but I am still in my fifties.
I’m bisexual and have been dealing with homophobic bullshit for over forty years, so please kindly fuck off with your insinuations of homophobia.

But then what do you find wrong with that movie? Apparently it’s about 15 year olds trying to get laid at camp. I sure was trying to get laid at camp when I was 15

I don’t think the opinion that young teens have an interest in sex is the problem.
I think it’s the tasteless execution of creating a whole ass movie about that
opinionfantasy, and portraying them as debauched sex starved little whores.just my 2¢
