As the cover feature for this week's Newsweek Magazine, the young female celebrity group that includes Brittany Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton are given credit for a new phrase in American culture, the title of Prosti-Tots. These popular young women form the basis of a new American entity, popular young women who have no sense of the phrase role model in their decision-making processes.

Newsweek points out the obvious.

Spears is known for parading with little in the way of underwear, as well as her provocative bi-sexual kiss with another tart, none other than the prior femme fatale, Madonna. Then there is Paris and her sexual escapades, sexually explicit films that are now available all over the Internet. Add to that Lohan and her need for rehab and Ritchie, yet another part of the Hilton legacy, and you have all the key suspects in the culture wars of young women today.

According to Newsweek, these celebrities are creating a generation of "prosti-tots," young girls who desire to dress like tarts, yet have no sense of the meaning of sex, love and lasting commitment. They sometimes party pantyless and seem destined to learn pole dancing techniques, doing so even if there is no legitimate reason for such behavior.

For mothers of young teenagers, the foursome represents everything parents of young women fear when trying to establish a set of standards for their teenagers. When their child begins to sing and posture, they immediately see these four women in their child's behavior, noting the sexualization that American culture is bringing to youngsters.

In the Girls Gone Bad segment in Newsweek, many point to a group of young ladies that are described more as hoochies than those that American young women mimic. Yet the key aspects of the article note the challenges of raising a young woman against the back drop of such sexually explicit behavior.

All this comes at the same time that a recent poll notes that 40% of all children have been exposed to some form of online porn.
