Would Like Your Opinion

@op why are you sexualizing it

Looks harmless to me, but then I am not into 10 year old girls.

Not acceptable to me but I wouldn't bug other people about their own kids.

What I think is stupid about putting girls into that sort of thing is they have nothing to put in them. So why would you wear that? Seriously? It makes no damn sense. It's like putting a jock strap on a woman. Just... why?

If the kid was dressed in fishnet stockings and a black, leather miniskirt, I'd say I was opposed to the sexualization of girls her age. But I'm not sure the swimsuit in the OP amounts to sexualization. That is, it doesn't look sexy to me; it just looks like a swimsuit.

In fairness, at your age, you probably need six different kinds of viagra and a few stripper-chickens just to remember everything still functions down there.

He only needs one stripper-chicken, as long as it's 'the special one'.

Put it in the 'mindless meme doing the rounds' category. Apart from @Sunstone, I don't know anyone who ACTUALLY goes to the Stipper Chickens...

Well there's this place I go to, something-factory, where you can see everything.Bare breasts, thighs, all the good stuff. They'll even take your favorite and cut her into manageable pieces for you to take home & enjoy later!

A lot of good observations here.---Thanks everyone---

What's dawned on me is that my niece's bikini really isn't unacceptable at all, but merely a reflection of the change of fashion in bathing suits, and how children, particularly girls, eventually catch up with adult fashion.

I thought about how swim fashion has changed over the years and that how each era would consider the swim fashion of the next era to be unacceptable or at least improper attire.

Consider the following change in bathing suit fashions over the last 125+ years.

​

So, while my niece's bikini came as a surprise, I'm putting it down to my lack of fashion knowledge. Having gone through quite a few images to find one that showed a bikini that matched hers, I passed an awful lot of children's bikinis that showed just as much skin if not more. Here are two that show a little more.

​

So, although such bikinis aren't the norm they also aren't uncommon, so I've concluded that I'm simply behind the times.

What is wrong with the body of a child, that it needs to be covered? Apparently, it's all about the beauty and the effect it has on people that cannot control their impulses.

Perfectly normal and acceptable in today's Western society.

No opinion either way. Don't go to the beach anyway.

Personally I've been one to wonder why little prepubescent girls even need to wear tops in situations that boys don't wear them. Granted I believe that women should be able to go topless anyway, but even more strange when it's a little girl being told her skin is somehow "inappropriate". Why I was pissed off not too long ago when I found out my 7y/o was told spaghetti string tank tops weren't allowed at school. The only rule in the dress code that could possibly apply was the "showing inappropriate amounts of skin". How are a little girls shoulders inappropriate? Likewise, how is her belly?

Anytime we vacation in places void of Americans, you'll generally find most prepubescent girls topless at the beach or pool. Sexualizing little girls seems to be a very American thing.
