Don't let your teenage/pre-teen kids dress like they are going to Studio 54 to Club. Let's also stop marketing make-up to teens and children too.

I remember girls who were 14 who looked like that first picture. I also remember girls who looked like the 2nd girl. If you were to say no girls looked like the first girl, that would be wrong. Kids wore bell bottoms when I was a kid, so it's not in the last 20 years I'm talking. ;)

This is more directed towards the marketing and acceptance of the sexualization of young teens. Not necessarily the fact that some girls mature faster then others.

The photos of both of those kids, just look like kids. I don't see the first one being sexualized by anything she is doing or wearing, any more than any attractive teen when I was a kid. Perhaps a full body burka might help? That should calm the young boys down, right? :)

Children aren't responsible for their choices, and a society that props them up as sex objects is as much a societal failing as it is the parents fault for allowing them to dress provocatively, in the first place.

Children as young as 3 want to "fit in" and it's up to parents to ensure that they do that safely. It's also the goal of society overall to foster a community that is safe for children to be raised in.

That's not occuring.

BTW, women are NOT raped because they are sexually appealing! That is false. It is NOT the woman's fault when a violent male attacks them!

Here is what is really wrong. Rape Cuture. Victim Blaming:

Examples of Rape Culture
  • Blaming the victim (“She asked for it!”)
  • Trivializing sexual assault (“Boys will be boys!”)
  • Sexually explicit jokes
  • Tolerance of sexual harassment
  • Inflating false rape report statistics
  • Publicly scrutinizing a victim’s dress, mental state, motives, and history
  • Gratuitous gendered violence in movies and television
  • Defining “manhood” as dominant and sexually aggressive
  • Defining “womanhood” as submissive and sexually passive
  • Pressure on men to “score”
  • Pressure on women to not appear “cold”
  • Assuming only promiscuous women get raped
  • Assuming that men don’t get raped or that only “weak” men get raped
  • Refusing to take rape accusations seriously
  • Teaching women to avoid getting raped

Your barking up the wrong tree.

Rape is about Power and Control (I have been both victim and advocate), and I understand this.

My post is still about sexualized marketing towards children and the below 18 crowd.

Edit: deleted my last line about abuse because people are missing the bolded point, in favor of dissecting my way of presenting the topic.

I can recall addressing this issue with Moms at parent teacher conferences, for Pete's sake. It's rampant amongst a certain set of people.

I'd say that in many child abuse and/or molest cases (which isn't pedophilia), the abuser was not sexually attracted to the child. The motive had nothing to do with attraction because attraction in and of itself-age-wise, gender, sex, so have you- are not predominates to actions. Some people have stronger attraction than others. Others it's just normal attraction and nothing comes of it legally speaking.

So, how teenagers dress when it comes to appropriateness, say showing too much breast or something like that, I can understand when it comes to cultural differences. I'd say it depends on where one lives really and environment rather than just the close one wears. Unless you are saying "all" men are potential child abusers just because a 14 ear old child wears tight shorts-which is a stereotype-I do think it's not attraction but other factors involved that most likely have little to do with how the child is dress but much more, how to say, dominate intentions.

There's a lot of stereotype involved especially about men. I was talking on Quora and one question came up about how men handle stereotypes. One person said he's careful of taking his own child to the playground because of it.

I think there are other factors involved more than how the child dresses.

Ohh. as for marketing, is there a difference between marketing an adult woman and a child if both are marketed for the same reasons and dressed the same?

Usually, if I'm not mistaken, the child's parents need to give permission. The only other problem I see too is the type of marketing that is involved. If it's a commercial, fine. If it's illegal, of course that's different. There's a lot of fine line but in itself, it really depends.

I completely agree with you, however, does sexualizing children help prevent this? Or does it just make it easier to pass off as normal?
