Thread Name: BS: The Sexualisation of our Children
Subject: RE: BS: The Sexualisation of our Children
I think some people reacted badly to the title and start of this thread in the sense that it is a statement of something that is both obvious and not remotely new.
There is a popular animated series you may have heard of: The Simpsons and whenever there is a town meeting in Springfield, Reverend Lovejoy's wife always loudly proclaims her concern in the same way: "What about the children?"
Yes, young children, especially young females, have been sexualized in modern society. But in non-modern societies they are being killed in utero because they are female, having their clitori removed by tribal tradition, impregnated before they can safely bear children, and being put to work, sold into slavery/ prostitution.

Many times many times over the comparative few who get talked into being Little Miss Sunshine.

Yes you have an issue. NEXT!
