Beauty pageants for little girls (particularly the ones with an extreme focus on appearance) is one example of how girls are sexualized in U.S. culture. One implication of sexualizing girls and women is that they learn that their value is tied to their appearances. This can lead to more focus on changing physical appearance and may also lead to lower levels of self-esteem and self-worth as well as higher levels of depression and anxiety among girls and women. The sexualization of girls and women may also lead to girls and women experiencing self-objectification, restricted eating, and feelings of shame.
