You can explain them to her. It is absolutely appropriate to tell a 12-13 year old that you want them to have more respect for themselves than is often the case in the media. You cna tell her exactly what it's like to be a boy at that age and how they think. The biggest mistake is not telling her precisely why you feel it's wrong and what message people get from that sort of icon.
