Kylie Jenner vs. Sadie Robertson; You Judge Which Teen Wins the Culture War

Two pretty 17 year old girls, both reality stars made famous through their families’ shows, and both vying to be a role model for America’s female teens.

Because of their seemingly similar circumstances, Kylie Jenner and Sadie Robertson have been the subject of much comparison, with each representing the polar opposite of the other on the spectrum of lifestyle and behavior. In a way, the two are indirectly battling over who will win the cultural war of influence over impressionable young fans.

But the two young teens are as different as their respective family shows; Jenner is on “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” while Robertson stars on “Duck Dynasty.” Without a doubt, they represent two quite divergent Americas.

The hashtag #KylieJennerChallenge took Twitter by storm last week when young, star-struck girls tried to emulate the Jenner look complete with full, pouty lips formed via sucking a glass cup to their face.

Not a good plan. Most girls quickly discovered just how bad this idea was, when they ended up looking like bruised monsters rather than the precocious starlet they so adore.

On the other side of the spectrum, Sadie Robertson’s lifestyle represents the anti-thesis of the overtly sexual behavior on full display by Jenner. So which of these two young ladies should we want our daughters to model themselves after? Let’s take a closer look.
