Feminist, critical, and postmodern scholars have long recognized sexuality as a site of power relations. The recently released Report of the APA (American Psychological Association) Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls is a welcome addition to ongoing feminist and activist conversations on how to intervene on issues of sexuality in the name of girls' and women's health. This article offers a critical interdisciplinary analysis of this influential APA report, expanding on and challenging several of its main claims. This article critiques the report as over-determining the negative impact of sexualization; offers other literatures as critical additions including feminist literature on media, consumer culture, gender, and the body, and earlier "pro-desire" feminist psychology scholarship; and critiques the task force's conflations of objectification and sexualization. The article concludes with a call for broadening feminist scholarship and activism across disciplinary boundaries to emphasize girls' and women's sexual agency and resistance, as well as sexual health and rights.
女权主义、批判理论和后现代学者长期以来一直将性取向视为权力关系的一个场域。美国心理学会（APA）少女性征化问题特别工作组最近发布的报告，是对正在进行的女权主义者和活动家关于如何以女孩和妇女健康之名干预性取向问题讨论的一份受欢迎的补充。本文对这份有影响力的美国心理学会报告进行了批判性的跨学科分析，扩展并质疑了其一些主要观点。本文批评该报告过度认定性征化的负面影响；提供了其他文献作为批判性补充，包括关于媒体、消费文化、性别和身体的女权主义文献，以及早期的“支持欲望”女权主义心理学学术研究；并批评了特别工作组将客体化和性征化混为一谈的做法。文章最后呼吁跨越学科界限拓宽女权主义学术研究和行动主义，以强调女孩和妇女的性自主权与反抗，以及性健康和性权利。
