One thing that hasn't been touched upon in this discussion is the attitude a
girl's father plays in all of this. I have read information and studies
about the importance of adult male comments at this stage in a girl's life.
I think everyone wants to feel desirable. Girls at the age of 12 or so have
a lot to sort out about their own sexuality etc. It is helpful for both men
and women to portray smart women as attractive and desirable.
Another place to look for studies relating to this topic might be an
organization called girls, inc. I didn't see anything on their website
concerning this research, but I know from the past, that they have some
research about this. Perhaps if you contact them via phone or email, they
would point in the right direction.
