It's a staggering figure,watch free movies online | Adult Movies Online but it's also not too hard to believe.
Only one in six Australian teen girls feel they're valued for their brain and their abilities, as opposed to their physical appearance.
That's one of the findings released in a report Tuesday, commissioned by women's right organisation Our Watch and Plan International Australia. The report surveyed 600 young women aged between 16-19 years, asking for their feelings on sexism at school, home and everywhere else.
At glance, the survey's results are depressing AF. But if you've ever been a teenage girl, they won't be particularly surprising.
The teenage years of a woman's life are a time of physical change, sexual discovery and listening to the awful advice of many women's magazine articles.
One in three young women surveyed in the study felt that housework was not shared equally between themselves and their brothers, and one in three participants agreed with the statement "It'd be easier to get my dream job if I was a man."

"What these girls are telling us is that inequality starts early and is everywhere – in our homes, in school, and on the streets. It's gravely concerning that girls, in 2016, are saying they don't feel valued for their intellect and their opinions," said Plan International Australia CEO Susanne Legena in a statement.
One out of every 10 felt they were treated equally to boys; two-thirds believe gender inequality is still a problem.
Anti-domestic violence advocate and Our Watch CEO Mary Barry released a statement drawing a link between gender inequality and violence against women, saying: "We must find a new normal; as long as girls and women are seen as less equal than boys and men, violence against women will continue."
The survey results comes just days after an Australian-lead study published in the British Medical Journal showed that teen girls as young as 15 are consulting GPs about genital cosmetic surgery, reflecting an increasing concern that their genitals don't look "normal".
The University of Melbourne's Dr. Magdalena Simonis was lead author in the world-first study and told The Guardianshe believed perceptions of beauty, online pornography, fashion and Brazilian waxing all played a major role in young women's dissatisfaction with their bodies.
After interviewing 442 Australian GPs, the study found 97 percent of GPs had been asked about "genital normality" while 54 percent had seen female patients about genital cosmetic surgery.
Of course, surgery can be a legitimate choice, so long as it's an informed and educated one. However as Simonis said: "The really vulnerable here are young women and teens impressed by what they see online and what a lot of the portrayals are like in pornography.
"I think we need to be carefully looking at those women and ensuring they are supported and better informed."
Do these results also reflect what Legena calls the "insidious…and serious societal issue," that is sexism in Australia?
Perhaps there's no need to make a connection between the two studies, but their closely-timed publication isan unfortunate coincidence.
One that serves to remind us of the all-pervasive nature of gender inequality — from the classroom, to the boardroom, bedroom, and potentially, even to the doctor's office.
