Thread Name: BS: The Sexualisation of our Children
Subject: RE: BS: The Sexualisation of our Children
I am with Lox and Lizzie on this one so far.

Little girls dressing up in teir mummy's high heels and scarves has always fone on. Little girls want to be grown up girls. When you see children's lingerie and some of the clothing for them and other products, you just know it's already gone too far.

The whole 'schoolgirl' thing kind of edged it for year but now it is blatant sexualisation fo children themselves. The idea of making it as abhorrent as racism, etc., seems a sound one.

Parents should just point blank refise to buy the stuff. The argument from the manufiacturers is that there is a market for that kind of thing. Consumers make the market succeed or fail.

I do not see this as a Lizzie rant. It's a fair point I think. I never let my daughter have stuff like that (though there was not a lot of it about back then) and she does not let her daughter have sexual merchandise. The responsibility here rests on the edaults to kill it.
