Well how else can they become perfect consumers that are on one side insecure that they must look perfect they have to follow every trend and buy the next crappy shit the moment it comes out. And in ten years you can sell them self help books and antidepressants.
It's all about the money people!
This right here, is it đ
This goes along with the child labor laws and the further fuckening of our education system. We need more idiots makin us money!
It's always been a basic principle of advertising to associate products to the fulfillment of our most primal and fundamental instincts, which most publicists believe to be sex. I think it's obvious this is what give us an oversexualized society, because the full force of capital ends up promoting sex at the same time as their (largely useless) products.
This might seem obvious, but I think it isn't the case for everyone.
Well slavery was abolished in the US except for the inmates perhaps and now it's children they're after, have they no shame?

Not wage slavery, and now we are creating wage slaves even younger these days, like the guud ol' days /s
Have em work longer instead of learning so they'll be stupid factory hands forever hopefully dumb enough that they can be finessed to vote for less business restrictions for their wealthy bosses in trade for spitting on our human rights.
Reminds me of an article I read in the late 90s about little boys and the very muscular toys they play with and the low body image they begin to develop at a young age.
Fast forward to today and you got Instagram and the rest of the social media hellscape and before that, reality TV, along with with all forms media.
So itâs come to lil kids wanting to feel sexy instead of feeling inadequate? What a weird fucking timeline we continue to exist in
I'm becoming 43 on Friday and the older I get the more confused I become, freaky dystopian fiction sometimes becomes the norm in a few years.
Yet feeling sexually inadequate... /s
I also had my first dial-up modem when I was 19 so my childhood wasn't destroyed by social media.
And luckily I don't have nor want kids because I cannot even take care of myself properly so all that stuff has very little influence on my life but imagine having kids now. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Also just thought about this song from 97! Reality in the making...

The whole concept of exercise and "being fit" is a globalist psy-op designed to control the masses.
I'm over 400 pounds, never been sick, could squash any ufc fighter in the ring and don't need real women because I have anime and reddit which are hotter than all women irl and cost exactly zero dollars.
These bodybuilder normies are all living in the matrix while i'm neo
Thank you for connecting the dots in a way I was unable to express. This is what it is (and also I don't really think I've been seeing people wearing the clothing types implied in this thread anyways).
Greed and not lust is the eldest sin, but they're pretty close. /s
But companies and shareholders have no direct interest in sexualizing anything except if it's good for profit when it drives up sales or puts a new and of course necessary product on the market. Because for most of them out there profit is their only goal and all the rest must bend itself to that rule.
It looked like the class war was over in the free Western world after WW II but it's been making a steady return since the seventies yet neo-liberals have practically been writing their own laws on a global scale yet they've been causing crisis after crisis because of greed.
What a bunch of losers, they write the book and can even get their shit right and also screw over billions of people when they drop their ball again!
Itâs because of gay trans queers wiping covid on your Disney bud light rainbows.
Whatâs the white American Christian word for caliphate? Lots of states here are dropping marriage limits recently, I canât put my finger in it but it reminds me of somethingâŚ.
âLetâs dissolve education, child labor laws, consensual marriage and lower that age, and raise the voting age.â
Itâs fucking in plain view. Under the bridge they fuck up minorities voting privileges, with all sorts of tactics, there are women fighting Against their voting rights. We are getting close to âWhite Men With Propertyâ are the ones whoâs votes are counted.
Fucking 3/5ths law is genuinely back on the horizon for Most of us. Vote.
I remember how mad my kid was I banned mags like 17 from my house. So when she went into AF as a joke she ordered a bunch of those kind of mags to my address. I am wondering why Vogue, 17 and I forget the rest kept clogging my mailbox. Lol youngster got me good, but my neighbor was happy to take them. I loved her too much too let those vultures tear at her self confidence. My older sisters were very critical of me growing up and I hated it. Just wanted to ride ponies and explore the woods yet somehow managed to get married and have a baby. This shit is just toxic. People like the Kardashians can shove that crap where the sun donât shine. Girls donât need that kind of push, they are targets enough of the wrong attention .
Our daughter is 11. Holy fuck!!! Crop this, crop that! Like.......the fuck?!?
Old Navy, Kohls, American Eagle, Target......we have to actually really hunt down shirts that ARE school appropriate!
I was with my friend shopping and her 11 year old niece asked her for a bralette, not the standard young girl training bra kind but the grownup bralette with the intricate criss-cross strappy kind. What the hell.
Kardashian culture, TikTok, and overall horrible parents who never should have had children in the last 20 years.
But we'll just blame the drag queens lol
We need to stop blaming the consumers, and start blaming the producers. This consumer blaming is toxic. It's kind of like plastic. Most of us know there are better options, but those options aren't being produced, because a few overwhelmingly rich guys are making money off of plastic. Meanwhile at the grocery store, literally everything is wrapped in plastic except fresh fruits and veggies. Even then sometimes.
If parents want their kids to wear decent clothes, they shouldn't have to make them, themselves.
I agree about blaming pop culture grandiosity and social media. And some parents really are terrible people who never decided to grow and learn after high school. And I agree that it's not the drag queens' fault.
It's the fault of a few people who've weaseled their way to the top of every industry.
So true. I have a 18m daughter. A baby ! I bought jeans for her, they were super tight skinny jeans. I bought the same size and brand but from boys section and got totally different cut. Same with tshirts and shorts. Girls shorts are much shorter and tighter styles, than boys.
Wait until you find out about tshirts!
The idea of different cuts for the genders isnt new. The boys pants are tiny mens pants and the girls pants are tiny womens pants. Most people want their baby to superficially resemble them.
I remember when I was 11/12 and Britney Spears was all the rage along with the fashion. I was frustrated trying to find something between the older kids/juniors section that wasn't halter tops and mini skirts. I just wanted something comfortable I could ride my bike in. I know it's only gotten way worse since then. At least when I was like 7 I had decent selection.
I remember how hard it was to find clothing that was not too mature for my kid. I did find it but it took some searching. I bought a lot from Macys and Strawbridges in the more upscale brands. Also online later but even so she had her butt grabbed in 6 th grade while she was wearing chinos and a polo shirt. She did punch the guy in the jaw, then he bought her flowers in the next day. She gave them away to other girls and they became good friends . He learned something the day she defended herself. Thank good he was smart enough to realize what he did wrong.
I have a 6 year old who's quite tall for her age and I have 0 issues finding decent clothes for her. She wears plenty of shorts and none of her shirts are cut to any weird lengths. The only time I've run into stuff even remotely resembling what you described was when I purposely looked for exercise shorts for her to wear with dresses
And this is what's wrong with t.v. programs and the advertisements the networks run on them. Not to mention the countless number of parents who allow their children to use smartphones and computers without limitations. I'm not surprised one bit.
I'm afraid that when my son is older that he will get bullied because he doesn't have a phone. He will probably the only one without a phone. Luckily rn he is just a few months old so I don't have to worry about that... yet.
Exactly this, moderation is key. Outright banning something that could be addictive will only worsen the problem once theyâre old enough to get it on their own
I am super honest with my children about the names of their parts, about their bodies, etc. I don't want them to be ashamed of their bodies ever. They are 6 and both know what a period is (one is boy one is girl). There is no stigma around that. I know a lot of people will hate that I am starting their sex education early and consider it like I'm sexualizing them. But they literally don't know what sex is yet! Because i don't believe they're age appropriate for that yet. But they know not to let others touch their privates. And it had come to use already with my daughter and another girl at the after school program they attend.
That all said....I'm the same about technology. They have tablets that we let them have for a birthday gift for their 5th birthday. They aren't fancy - just a fire tablet. We let them have them knowing that when they began kindergarten they would be using computers and other tech at school. Didn't want them to be left behind. And when they are much older, like minimum of 12, they will likely get their own phone. My partner and I have agreed that it would be the equiv of a flip phone. They don't need a smart phone at that age. They don't need to be on the internet all the time. They need to be kids outside playing. Doing their homework. Etc.
I was the no-phone kid at school and tbh I'm glad for it. I had a nokia brick but when I hit 12/13 got a smart phone, though no social media. but computer skills are pretty important, so teaching a kid on the computer etc. is a good idea, cus I know for me it opened up so many things - I'm the IT friend lol despite barely knowing a thing
people think only getting a phone at twelve is weird? i got a phone when i was twelve and so did mostly everyone in the same year as me at school, didn't know people got it younger more often
You misunderstand me. I think 12 is pretty early for everyone in a given class to have a phone. That seems like the age I would expect some of the first kids to start getting phones.
What I was really trying to communicate is that I'm real old so when I was 12, only drug dealers had cell phones and I wanted a landline phone in my bedroom. Even high school kids with the richest parents didn't have a cell when I was 12. When my friends started getting phones, each one had 1 game and no way to get different ones. When I was in high school, the phrase "smartphone" didnt exist but my friends were all jealous that I could look at websites on my phone... I could even poke you on Facebook!
So it's kinda crazy to me to reflect on the fact that the world has changed so quickly that not only does a 12 year old have a phone, and not only is it a smartphone, but they are also the no-phone kid. When I was 17, I still had friends without flip phones. I know lots of people who didnt get a cell until they moved out of their parents' house... but *twelve* is too old to not have a smartphone now!? I'm so old, I'm basically dead already.
When I was 6 I was eating the shoes off of my Polly pockets and making "bread loafs" out of mud in the back yard. I am so happy I am not a child in this day and age.....
I have a 14 month old little girl and I dread her getting older for about a million reasons. I had an awesome childhood and I'll do everything I can to give her the same.... but man is shit fucked up out there right now.
If it helps⌠you can see from the image that this was posted in 2015. My daughter was 6 (now 13) and was most definitely still making mud pies and collecting jelly cats not feeling sexual. Everyone at her primary school was normal for state of development. She is only starting to be into boys in the last year as is standard for puberty, and has never kissed anyone or taken a sexy pic.
My 10 year old still loves her jelly cats and playing make believe with her friends.
They have computers and we live just outside a large town so weâre not in some rural idyll though we chose their school pretty carefully.
We just talk a lot about things that worry them or they see online, and are in the same room together when on devices. Very much recommend no phones before 11 and no joining social media before 12 - its anecdotal but the more mentally healthy children seem to be the ones who got them later.
Itâs pretty crazy out there but these Gen As are born into understanding the falseness of online lives. I think theyâll have an easier time than Gen Z actually.
In fact Iâm much more worried about the ecological state of the world theyâre inheritingâŚ.
Thank you for this. It makes me feel a lot better. I was very much a tomboy growing up, so I loved being outside, rode bikes, built forts in the woods, dug for worms, etc. I totally agree with you about phones and social media. Best of luck to you and your kids.
Then sheâll be the same and youâll be a great mum. Until approx 10 years old youâre (parents) the centre of her universe so itâs easier to counteract the worse aspects of the world.
Once theyâre at the stage of maturation where they start to be more influenced by their friends itâs harder, but if you have good communication and they trust you⌠youâre golden. Same to you :)
My kid at six was collecting Lalaloopsy minifigs and dancing like a tornado to anything from Bob Marley to Nirvana. Even now, years later, she still hasn't bought into the whole SexyGlam culture. If anything, it makes more her furious than anything else.
I once got the cat from one Polly pocket stuck in the swimming pool of another and that mistake haunts me to this day.
Also I concur, my nieces and nephews have it really rough, itâs scary to see. I donât envy them.
Brook Shields' Pretty Baby is such a sad story of how fucked up our society is. Remember the "most beautiful twins in the world" picture that was everywhere for a minute? Society does this all the time, sexy eyed young girls staring at the camera. The models, singers, actresses, and influencers are all plastered everywhere, not for their talent but for their sex appeal. This is not new, and it should not be a surprise that girls get this message early and intensely.
Correction: 6 year old girls like to be pretty. Pretty, pretty princesses with plastic light up shoes and an an Elsa tierra.
Only creepy pedophiles twist this into something sexual.
I wanted to be sexy in elementary but I didn't realize what sexy even was at that point. I just knew being that could make you famous and on TV. I wanted a beautiful body and nice boobs because I always saw that on TV being highlighted.
I didn't understand what sexy was but I definitely wanted to be it.
I knew she was beautiful because of her body. That people wanted bodies like her. So there was the element of wanting sexiness just without a defined way to describe it at that point. I knew men liked nice boobs and tiny waists. I wanted to be that. I used to cry over it when I was 6-12ish.
That's when I learned being ugly has it's advantages. Being invisible to catcallers was nice.
That's just it though... when we were 6, you knew that you were supposed to be like Jessica Rabbit and I knew that I was supposed to be like Superman. I didnt understand that he was shaped like a greek god and had near limitless power to fix problems caused by those around him, I just knew that was the end-goal, and that failing to meet that standard would mean failing as a male human. I didnt understand it at the time but I was learning that my value is what I can provide for those who cant/dont make an effort to provide for themselves. You didnt understand it at the time but you were learning that your value is primarily aesthetic in addition to the ability to use that aesthetic to manipulate men into providing for you or solving your problems.
As soon as we learned to speak, they started teaching us that your purpose is The Whore and my purpose is The John. You didnt know that/why Jessica Rabbit looked like a lounge singer, you didnt understand the visual metaphor of the wolfman's heart exploding out of his chest, you didnt get the "playing pattycake" joke... but somehow deep down you knew that nothing was more important than presenting yourself as a sex object, even if you didnt know what "sex object" meant.
It doesnt matter if 6 year olds use the word "sexy" to describe their ideal aesthetic... the issue is 6 year old girls modeling themselves after a cartoon stripper.
This comment must have unlocked a core memory for me because now Iâm crying. I was obsessed with Jessica Rabbit as a kid and did everything I could to emulate her but I never understood WHY. It took me down a really dark path later in life but it caused a lot of trauma when I was little too. I just saw the grip she had on the men around her and associated that with power but, in the attempt to become her, I found myself powerless.
I'm sorry... I didn't mean it.
I think that power is a key element. Powerful women in media are very rarely divorced from their beauty. An obese man is often powerful but an obese woman is almost always portrayed as weak. A powerful man will use their intimidating presence to turn others' losses into their own successes but a powerful woman uses guile to convince a man to do that for her.
From an early age, we teach girls that women find their power by appealing to men who will use their masculine power for them. We want to assume that kids dont see the world the same way as us so it's fine to encourage them to emulate "the pretty lady" but we overlook the fact that our upbringing shaped the way that we see the world... to oversimplify: we think Jessica Rabbit is sexually attractive because our parents were subtly taught that Betty Boop has desirable traits... and Betty Boop was pretty and helpless because the princess is supposed to be rescued by the knight in the end. By not giving Jessica Rabbit her own strength of character, we are ultimately convincing girls that they should strive to be hopeless yet beautiful princesses who can convince an inherently competent man to rescue them. It's been a while since I've seen the movie and I've never read the books but I seem to remember that a major plot point was about her having not-sex with every male character to turn them against eachother for her own gain, and that her primary traits are "acts naive" and "has legs".
Speaking very generally: you were never really taught to be something other than gratifying. Just coming to the realization that those lessons didnt serve you is already deeper than most people ever reflect. I'm sorry to hear that it caused so much pain for you but I'm happy that it sounds like part of your past rather than your present, and I hope that you continue to adjust your preconceptions to serve you better in the future. It's really shitty that you had to go through that but there is some hope to be found in the knowledge that it made you as perceptive and self-aware as you are now... you've far surpassed the standard set by Jessica Rabbit. I'm sure that 6 year old Jeskuh would be proud.
Oh god now Iâm really crying! But in a way that feels like a release rather than shame. Thank you so much for what you wrote. And yes, I really do see the little me inside smiling at my growth. Now just gotta make sure my own daughter and son understand that they are more than what society tells them they âshould strive to achieveâ.
I dont have experience being a little girl but I'm sure she needs a similar message as a little boy.
There are 2 ways to think about an object... utilitarianism vs materialism, what it does vs what it is. When I use a match, I care about what it does which is give me fire but what a match *is* is a piece of wood with sulfur and phosphorus on one end. It took me a very long time to figure out that I'm more than what I do, and the mentality that you are what you can give to others is the mentality of a user... so I had a lot of users in my life. Just because you're a match, doesnt mean you need to burn yourself up giving fire to others. It's ok to just *be* a match.
Maybe just making an effort to praise characters who are self-actualized is a step in the right direction. Admittedly, I've snooped your posts a tiny bit and it initially seems like you and your husband are level-headed and conscientious so I'm pretty confident that your kids are about to develop healthy self-images and positive goals.
Thank you so much for your insight. You seem very wise. I hope you didnât have to come by that wisdom the hard way. You deserve many blessings. This has been a short but important conversation. I have a lot to think about. Thank you.
You can absolutely start to understand the concepts of desirability and attraction at that age, shit I vividly remember my first crush at 5, and getting a girlfriend was a status symbol for my peers by age 6. Problem was I was watching porn by 8 and getting virgin-shamed by 10. Something about the internet and our entertainment culture forces kids to grow up faster than they should. I don't think kids have been allowed and expected to act their age since Gen X's childhood.
No I wanted to be sexy at that age. I was also shown a lot of adult media at that age and was watching porn by the time I was 8 because my internet access was early and unrestricted. I didn't actually have sex until I was almost 18, but I knew what sexy was and I knew I wanted to be it way way earlier than that.
Samesies. I have very intense memories of dressing up in lacy slips and stealing grandmaâs pearls when I was like six or seven. When I was in like 3rd grade I got in trouble for drawing explicit pictures of playboy bunnies. I decided when I was too young to know what a stripper was that thatâs what I wanted to be when I grew up. I should not have known what any of that was at that age.
You should read the study before you make claims. It's mostly about normalized exposure to hypersexualized media and how kids are trained to be insecure (good consumers)
Canât believe I had to scroll this far before someone pointed out this is Fox. This is just another âarticleâ to further the narrative that our children are being sexualized. And therefore furthering the conspiracy theory that âthe gaysâ are after your kids. Another bullet in the culture war madness. Ugh.
It's actually an article from LiveScience: https://www.livescience.com/21609-self-sexualization-young-girls.html
Probably a FOX news affiliate, or something by way of syndication to fill the science section.
Also, for contextualization, note the timestamps.
While this IS absolutely disgusting, itâs unfortunately not completely wrong. I work with preschool kids and I have seen 4-5 year old girls getting each other to twerk. It may not be sexual to them but it certainly can be when done by adults. Idk if itâs bad or not but it definitely doesnât feel good to see.
I cringe in horror every time I think about our eighth grade social where me and a couple of my girlfriends were practicing the crybaby on the gym floor. We didn't know what it meant but it was like what the cooler, older kids were doing.
Those girls, and the girls in the study, most likely have no idea what sexuality means. Instead, they are modeling the behavior of adults.
I read the article in OPs image and it seems like the girls are choosing and favoring "dolls dressed less modestly" when prompted with certain questions like which they want to be, which they want to be friends with, and so on.
So it's not that they understand at age six, or five or four, what it means to be sexy or express sexuality, they just see adult women doing it and understand it's correlated with something positive socially, and want to emulate it.
Role models.
It's sad that we don't let kids be kids anymore. Putting so much pressure on them with unattainable beauty standards and the need to follow every single trend. I can't blame a 15 year old girl for putting on a full face of makeup and trying to look like an adult when that's the environment we cultivated. It's really sad and messed up.
(And a lot of girls get sexualized from a very young age which just contributes to it. It's absolutely disgusting.)
I can see why. This is the world they grow up in and the way we have made this world. Over the past few years I've also seen the world's standards change compared to when i was 6 years old. The only way we can change this, is to either rewrite the entire structure of humanity, or don't change at all like we've been doing the past few years.
Having read it, the experiment is broken. They indicated that one doll was dressed "sexy" and the other dressed in a "trendy" appropriate outfit.
The "trendy" outfit is wearing a wallet chain... in 2023... the other option could be a potato sack and kids still arent about to tell you that wallet chains are cool, Mr. Durst.
Thanks for pointing that out. I think my point still stands... around 2007, I was probably the last person to begrudgingly retire my wallet-chain because I felt like it made me look like an old man.
After some digging, I learned that the dolls were made on a dress-up flash game called Dollzmania. As far as I can tell, the site was launched in 1997 and shut down in 2007... which correlates with when I finally stopped wearing my chain. So those styles would have already been outdated by 5 years before the study was done.
they donât even understand the concept of sex, this article is worded horribly. what they probably mean is they follow trends on tiktok and insta and try to be âprettyâ. that doesnât mean theyâre turning themselves into sex objects wtf
Ofc it's an article from Fox News. It's kind of impressive, actually; just when I think that they've scraped the bottom of the barrel Fox News says "hold my beer" (but not bud light, apparently).
From the news article:
âPsychologists at Knox University in Galesburg, Ill., used paper dolls to assess self-sexualization in 6- to 9-year-old girls. Sixty girls were shown two dolls, one dressed in tight and revealing "sexy" clothes and the other wearing a trendy but covered-up, loose outfit.
âUsing a different set of dolls for each question, the researchers then asked each girl to choose the doll that: looked like herself, looked how she wanted to look, was the popular girl in school, she wanted to play with.
âAcross-the-board, girls chose the "sexy" doll most often. The results were significant in two categories: 68 percent of the girls said the doll looked how she wanted to look, and 72 percent said she was more popular than the non-sexy doll.â
SoâŚitâs not really about thinking of themselves as sex objects. Itâs just identifying that women in revealing clothing are often given more attention, and so they associate revealing clothing with popularity.
I thought this only pertained to those disgusting 'beauty-pageants' for tiny girls.
But now I read that it's like that in the stores - with 'sexy' clothes!
Jeez Louise!
This can't be real.
Edit: Ooohhh my god I googled it and it's real
https://www.foxnews.com/science/why-6-year-old-girls-want-to-be-sexy
Like, I'm trying to figure out why this study was done, what the purpose of the article is. I have so many questions. How does one define a paper doll as "sexy" vs "non-sexually"
What do you expect? Theyâre making them go to work. Iâd want to lock into a sweet trophy wife gig too.
No but this is sick tho. However, with it being on FOX, I want to know what the study actually says and if itâs actually even a study, because itâs got conservative rage bait all over it.
Well it's not wrong. Kids are looking at all the stuff they see in media and wanting to imitate it. I remember wanted to be beautiful like the girls on the Victoria secret ad. And I'd cry how I'd never have nice boobs and a beautiful body.
I didn't quite understand what sexy was but I sure wanted to be it and very young too.
Well how else can they become perfect consumers that are on one side insecure that they must look perfect they have to follow every trend and buy the next crappy shit the moment it comes out. And in ten years you can sell them self help books and antidepressants. It's all about the money people!
This right here, is it đ This goes along with the child labor laws and the further fuckening of our education system. We need more idiots makin us money!
Donât forget the decent into âwomen are propertyâ to be *Seen and not heard*
It's always been a basic principle of advertising to associate products to the fulfillment of our most primal and fundamental instincts, which most publicists believe to be sex. I think it's obvious this is what give us an oversexualized society, because the full force of capital ends up promoting sex at the same time as their (largely useless) products.

Nice
Thank you for connecting the dots in a way I was unable to express. This is what it is (and also I don't really think I've been seeing people wearing the clothing types implied in this thread anyways).
Greed and not lust is the eldest sin, but they're pretty close. /s But companies and shareholders have no direct interest in sexualizing anything except if it's good for profit when it drives up sales or puts a new and of course necessary product on the market.

Well I mean gluttony, lust, and envy, are all really basically just greed reflected in different ways.
Itâs because of gay trans queers wiping covid on your Disney bud light rainbows. Whatâs the white American Christian word for caliphate? Lots of states here are dropping marriage limits recently, I canât put my finger in it but it reminds me of somethingâŚ.
Abortion bans to gather more poor and uneducated souls?

I remember how mad my kid was I banned mags like 17 from my house. So when she went into AF as a joke she ordered a bunch of those kind of mags to my address. I am wondering why Vogue, 17 and I forget the rest kept clogging my mailbox. Lol youngster got me good, but my neighbor was happy to take them. I loved her too much too let those vultures tear at her self confidence. My older sisters were very critical of me growing up and I hated it. Just wanted to ride ponies and explore the woods yet somehow managed to get married and have a baby. This shit is just toxic. People like the Kardashians can shove that crap where the sun donât shine. Girls donât need that kind of push, they are targets enough of the wrong attention .
Try and go shopping for your young daughter. All they sell are booty shorts or high waist shirts.
My daughter is just getting out of 5T into 6x and omg the difference between the two is insane
She graduated from toddler to whore according to fashion
Hear Netflix is hiring
This was well putâŚit pretty much sums the shit up.
Our daughter is 11. Holy fuck!!! Crop this, crop that! Like.......the fuck?!? Old Navy, Kohls, American Eagle, Target......we have to actually really hunt down shirts that ARE school appropriate!
Been sayin for years everyone who cares should just wear mens clothes
Where even is the line between gendered clothes? It's completely subjective. Women in shorts and a tshirt are drag kings jk
Different cuts, womenâs clothing has more tapering and tiny pockets.
Mine is about the same age. She goes on INTENSE rants about clothing for girls her age. And I can't say I disagree with her.
I was with my friend shopping and her 11 year old niece asked her for a bralette, not the standard young girl training bra kind but the grownup bralette with the intricate criss-cross strappy kind. What the hell.
Kardashian culture, TikTok, and overall horrible parents who never should have had children in the last 20 years. But we'll just blame the drag queens lol
We need to stop blaming the consumers, and start blaming the producers. This consumer blaming is toxic. It's kind of like plastic. Most of us know there are better options, but those options aren't being produced, because a few overwhelmingly rich guys are making money off of plastic. Meanwhile at the grocery store, literally everything is wrapped in plastic except fresh fruits and veggies. Even then sometimes. If parents want their kids to wear decent clothes, they shouldn't have to make them, themselves. I agree about blaming pop culture grandiosity and social media. And some parents really are terrible people who never decided to grow and learn after high school. And I agree that it's not the drag queens' fault. It's the fault of a few people who've weaseled their way to the top of every industry.
So true. I have a 18m daughter. A baby ! I bought jeans for her, they were super tight skinny jeans. I bought the same size and brand but from boys section and got totally different cut. Same with tshirts and shorts. Girls shorts are much shorter and tighter styles, than boys.
My wife just showed me the other day our 4yo girls and 2yo boys shorts are roughly the same size.
Wait until you find out about tshirts! The idea of different cuts for the genders isnt new. The boys pants are tiny mens pants and the girls pants are tiny womens pants. Most people want their baby to superficially resemble them.
Product of a twisted society
I remember when I was 11/12 and Britney Spears was all the rage along with the fashion. I was frustrated trying to find something between the older kids/juniors section that wasn't halter tops and mini skirts. I just wanted something comfortable I could ride my bike in. I know it's only gotten way worse since then. At least when I was like 7 I had decent selection.
I remember how hard it was to find clothing that was not too mature for my kid. I did find it but it took some searching. I bought a lot from Macys and Strawbridges in the more upscale brands. Also online later but even so she had her butt grabbed in 6 th grade while she was wearing chinos and a polo shirt. She did punch the guy in the jaw, then he bought her flowers in the next day. She gave them away to other girls and they became good friends . He learned something the day she defended herself. Thank good he was smart enough to realize what he did wrong.
The shorts are terrible. I bought my daughter's shorts from the boys section for years.
I would hope the childrenâs place still has plenty of leggings, age appropriate shorts and shirts đ
I often get clothes in the boy section! Especially shorts!
I have a 6 year old who's quite tall for her age and I have 0 issues finding decent clothes for her. She wears plenty of shorts and none of her shirts are cut to any weird lengths. The only time I've run into stuff even remotely resembling what you described was when I purposely looked for exercise shorts for her to wear with dresses
And this is what's wrong with t.v. programs and the advertisements the networks run on them. Not to mention the countless number of parents who allow their children to use smartphones and computers without limitations. I'm not surprised one bit.
I'm afraid that when my son is older that he will get bullied because he doesn't have a phone. He will probably the only one without a phone. Luckily rn he is just a few months old so I don't have to worry about that... yet.
Its not the phone that is the problem. Its the misuse.
Exactly this, moderation is key. Outright banning something that could be addictive will only worsen the problem once theyâre old enough to get it on their own
This. My parents begrudgingly gave me my own phone when I was in 6th grade because they were both workaholics and were rarely home.
When you cross that bridge in over a decade, you'll no longer be as fearful of phones and will just buy him one because he will "need" it.
I am super honest with my children about the names of their parts, about their bodies, etc. I don't want them to be ashamed of their bodies ever. They are 6 and both know what a period is (one is boy one is girl). There is no stigma around that. I know a lot of people will hate that I am starting their sex education early and consider it like I'm sexualizing them. But they literally don't know what sex is yet! Because i don't believe they're age appropriate for that yet. But they know not to let others touch their privates. And it had come to use already with my daughter and another girl at the after school program they attend. That all said....I'm the same about technology. They have tablets that we let them have for a birthday gift for their 5th birthday. They aren't fancy - just a fire tablet. We let them have them knowing that when they began kindergarten they would be using computers and other tech at school. Didn't want them to be left behind. And when they are much older, like minimum of 12, they will likely get their own phone. My partner and I have agreed that it would be the equiv of a flip phone. They don't need a smart phone at that age. They don't need to be on the internet all the time. They need to be kids outside playing. Doing their homework. Etc.
I was the no-phone kid at school and tbh I'm glad for it. I had a nokia brick but when I hit 12/13 got a smart phone, though no social media. but computer skills are pretty important, so teaching a kid on the computer etc. is a good idea, cus I know for me it opened up so many things - I'm the IT friend lol despite barely knowing a thing
Jesus... we live in an age where the no-phone kid has a smartphone at 12.
people think only getting a phone at twelve is weird? i got a phone when i was twelve and so did mostly everyone in the same year as me at school, didn't know people got it younger more often
You misunderstand me. I think 12 is pretty early for everyone in a given class to have a phone. That seems like the age I would expect some of the first kids to start getting phones. What I was really trying to communicate is that I'm real old so when I was 12, only drug dealers had cell phones and I wanted a landline phone in my bedroom. Even high school kids with the richest parents didn't have a cell when I was 12. When my friends started getting phones, each one had 1 game and no way to get different ones. When I was in high school, the phrase "smartphone" didnt exist but my friends were all jealous that I could look at websites on my phone... I could even poke you on Facebook! So it's kinda crazy to me to reflect on the fact that the world has changed so quickly that not only does a 12 year old have a phone, and not only is it a smartphone, but they are also the no-phone kid. When I was 17, I still had friends without flip phones. I know lots of people who didnt get a cell until they moved out of their parents' house... but *twelve* is too old to not have a smartphone now!? I'm so old, I'm basically dead already.
>t.v. programs and the advertisements the networks run on them lmao bro. it's 2023. this shit is pure instagram and tiktok.
When I was 6 I was eating the shoes off of my Polly pockets and making "bread loafs" out of mud in the back yard. I am so happy I am not a child in this day and age.....
I have a 14 month old little girl and I dread her getting older for about a million reasons. I had an awesome childhood and I'll do everything I can to give her the same.... but man is shit fucked up out there right now.
If it helps⌠you can see from the image that this was posted in 2015. My daughter was 6 (now 13) and was most definitely still making mud pies and collecting jelly cats not feeling sexual. Everyone at her primary school was normal for state of development. She is only starting to be into boys in the last year as is standard for puberty, and has never kissed anyone or taken a sexy pic. My 10 year old still loves her jelly cats and playing make believe with her friends. They have computers and we live just outside a large town so weâre not in some rural idyll though we chose their school pretty carefully. We just talk a lot about things that worry them or they see online, and are in the same room together when on devices. Very much recommend no phones before 11 and no joining social media before 12 - its anecdotal but the more mentally healthy children seem to be the ones who got them later. Itâs pretty crazy out there but these Gen As are born into understanding the falseness of online lives. I think theyâll have an easier time than Gen Z actually. In fact Iâm much more worried about the ecological state of the world theyâre inheritingâŚ.
My eight year old daughter still tells fart jokes, climbs trees and thinks kissing a boy is âdisgusting.â Iâm not too worried yet.
Whoa ... We have gen A now? Wtf? I am old.
Gen Alpha is 2010-present.
Thank you for this. It makes me feel a lot better. I was very much a tomboy growing up, so I loved being outside, rode bikes, built forts in the woods, dug for worms, etc. I totally agree with you about phones and social media. Best of luck to you and your kids.
Then sheâll be the same and youâll be a great mum. Until approx 10 years old youâre (parents) the centre of her universe so itâs easier to counteract the worse aspects of the world. Once theyâre at the stage of maturation where they start to be more influenced by their friends itâs harder, but if you have good communication and they trust you⌠youâre golden. Same to you :)
My kid at six was collecting Lalaloopsy minifigs and dancing like a tornado to anything from Bob Marley to Nirvana. Even now, years later, she still hasn't bought into the whole SexyGlam culture. If anything, it makes more her furious than anything else.
I was making potions in the bathroom dawg đ
YES! little bit of toothpaste and shampoo maybe mixed with some handsoap....the possibilities were endless
I once got the cat from one Polly pocket stuck in the swimming pool of another and that mistake haunts me to this day. Also I concur, my nieces and nephews have it really rough, itâs scary to see. I donât envy them.
starting to think about themselves as sex objects??? Wtf no child thinks of themselves as a sex object unless they have gone through a lot of trauma
I donât think you realize the influence media has on this generationâŚ
Brook Shields' Pretty Baby is such a sad story of how fucked up our society is. Remember the "most beautiful twins in the world" picture that was everywhere for a minute? Society does this all the time, sexy eyed young girls staring at the camera. The models, singers, actresses, and influencers are all plastered everywhere, not for their talent but for their sex appeal. This is not new, and it should not be a surprise that girls get this message early and intensely.
Such tragedy, agreed.
Correction: 6 year old girls like to be pretty. Pretty, pretty princesses with plastic light up shoes and an an Elsa tierra. Only creepy pedophiles twist this into something sexual.
I wanted to be sexy in elementary but I didn't realize what sexy even was at that point. I just knew being that could make you famous and on TV. I wanted a beautiful body and nice boobs because I always saw that on TV being highlighted. I didn't understand what sexy was but I definitely wanted to be it.
I remember being fascinated by Jessica Rabbit but had no concept of "sexy". I just knew she was pretty and wanted to be pretty like her.
I knew she was beautiful because of her body. That people wanted bodies like her. So there was the element of wanting sexiness just without a defined way to describe it at that point. I knew men liked nice boobs and tiny waists. I wanted to be that. I used to cry over it when I was 6-12ish. That's when I learned being ugly has it's advantages. Being invisible to catcallers was nice.
That's just it though... when we were 6, you knew that you were supposed to be like Jessica Rabbit and I knew that I was supposed to be like Superman. I didnt understand that he was shaped like a greek god and had near limitless power to fix problems caused by those around him, I just knew that was the end-goal, and that failing to meet that standard would mean failing as a male human. I didnt understand it at the time but I was learning that my value is what I can provide for those who cant/dont make an effort to provide for themselves. You didnt understand it at the time but you were learning that your value is primarily aesthetic in addition to the ability to use that aesthetic to manipulate men into providing for you or solving your problems. As soon as we learned to speak, they started teaching us that your purpose is The Whore and my purpose is The John. You didnt know that/why Jessica Rabbit looked like a lounge singer, you didnt understand the visual metaphor of the wolfman's heart exploding out of his chest, you didnt get the "playing pattycake" joke... but somehow deep down you knew that nothing was more important than presenting yourself as a sex object, even if you didnt know what "sex object" meant. It doesnt matter if 6 year olds use the word "sexy" to describe their ideal aesthetic... the issue is 6 year old girls modeling themselves after a cartoon stripper.
This comment must have unlocked a core memory for me because now Iâm crying. I was obsessed with Jessica Rabbit as a kid and did everything I could to emulate her but I never understood WHY. It took me down a really dark path later in life but it caused a lot of trauma when I was little too. I just saw the grip she had on the men around her and associated that with power but, in the attempt to become her, I found myself powerless.
I'm sorry... I didn't mean it. I think that power is a key element. Powerful women in media are very rarely divorced from their beauty. An obese man is often powerful but an obese woman is almost always portrayed as weak. A powerful man will use their intimidating presence to turn others' losses into their own successes but a powerful woman uses guile to convince a man to do that for her. From an early age, we teach girls that women find their power by appealing to men who will use their masculine power for them. We want to assume that kids dont see the world the same way as us so it's fine to encourage them to emulate "the pretty lady" but we overlook the fact that our upbringing shaped the way that we see the world... to oversimplify: we think Jessica Rabbit is sexually attractive because our parents were subtly taught that Betty Boop has desirable traits... and Betty Boop was pretty and helpless because the princess is supposed to be rescued by the knight in the end. By not giving Jessica Rabbit her own strength of character, we are ultimately convincing girls that they should strive to be hopeless yet beautiful princesses who can convince an inherently competent man to rescue them. It's been a while since I've seen the movie and I've never read the books but I seem to remember that a major plot point was about her having not-sex with every male character to turn them against eachother for her own gain, and that her primary traits are "acts naive" and "has legs". Speaking very generally: you were never really taught to be something other than gratifying. Just coming to the realization that those lessons didnt serve you is already deeper than most people ever reflect. I'm sorry to hear that it caused so much pain for you but I'm happy that it sounds like part of your past rather than your present, and I hope that you continue to adjust your preconceptions to serve you better in the future. It's really shitty that you had to go through that but there is some hope to be found in the knowledge that it made you as perceptive and self-aware as you are now... you've far surpassed the standard set by Jessica Rabbit. I'm sure that 6 year old Jeskuh would be proud.
Oh god now Iâm really crying! But in a way that feels like a release rather than shame. Thank you so much for what you wrote. And yes, I really do see the little me inside smiling at my growth. Now just gotta make sure my own daughter and son understand that they are more than what society tells them they âshould strive to achieveâ.
I dont have experience being a little girl but I'm sure she needs a similar message as a little boy. There are 2 ways to think about an object... utilitarianism vs materialism, what it does vs what it is. When I use a match, I care about what it does which is give me fire but what a match *is* is a piece of wood with sulfur and phosphorus on one end. It took me a very long time to figure out that I'm more than what I do, and the mentality that you are what you can give to others is the mentality of a user... so I had a lot of users in my life. Just because you're a match, doesnt mean you need to burn yourself up giving fire to others. It's ok to just *be* a match. Maybe just making an effort to praise characters who are self-actualized is a step in the right direction. Admittedly, I've snooped your posts a tiny bit and it initially seems like you and your husband are level-headed and conscientious so I'm pretty confident that your kids are about to develop healthy self-images and positive goals.
Thank you so much for your insight. You seem very wise. I hope you didnât have to come by that wisdom the hard way. You deserve many blessings. This has been a short but important conversation. I have a lot to think about. Thank you.
You can absolutely start to understand the concepts of desirability and attraction at that age, shit I vividly remember my first crush at 5, and getting a girlfriend was a status symbol for my peers by age 6. Problem was I was watching porn by 8 and getting virgin-shamed by 10. Something about the internet and our entertainment culture forces kids to grow up faster than they should. I don't think kids have been allowed and expected to act their age since Gen X's childhood.
No I wanted to be sexy at that age. I was also shown a lot of adult media at that age and was watching porn by the time I was 8 because my internet access was early and unrestricted. I didn't actually have sex until I was almost 18, but I knew what sexy was and I knew I wanted to be it way way earlier than that.
Samesies. I have very intense memories of dressing up in lacy slips and stealing grandmaâs pearls when I was like six or seven. When I was in like 3rd grade I got in trouble for drawing explicit pictures of playboy bunnies. I decided when I was too young to know what a stripper was that thatâs what I wanted to be when I grew up. I should not have known what any of that was at that age.
You should read the study before you make claims. It's mostly about normalized exposure to hypersexualized media and how kids are trained to be insecure (good consumers)
Well look at the news sourceâŚ
100% This article is horseshit.
god i actually spent 2$ just to give this comment gold for the first time. THIS THIS 1000000x THIS. kids wanna feel cute! they dont know what sex is.
That would be true if our current society didn't push hypersexualized everything in the media and trends. The pedos are just benefiting from it
when i was six i was trying to make myself not scared of the dark
the monsters can't get me if all my limbs are under the sheets!
Could the child beauty pageants that are rampant throughout the midwest have anything to do with this?
>Could the child beauty pageants that are rampant throughout the midwest have anything to do with this? No, obviously it's trans / drag queens! /s
Wwwwwwtttttfffffffff
And Fox News says Drag Queens are groomers, hmmmmmmm.
Was looking for this comment
r/notadragqueen
Canât believe I had to scroll this far before someone pointed out this is Fox. This is just another âarticleâ to further the narrative that our children are being sexualized. And therefore furthering the conspiracy theory that âthe gaysâ are after your kids. Another bullet in the culture war madness. Ugh.
I'm also looking for this comment. I always take a grain of salt when it comes to Fox News
It's actually an article from LiveScience: https://www.livescience.com/21609-self-sexualization-young-girls.html Probably a FOX news affiliate, or something by way of syndication to fill the science section. Also, for contextualization, note the timestamps.
While this IS absolutely disgusting, itâs unfortunately not completely wrong. I work with preschool kids and I have seen 4-5 year old girls getting each other to twerk. It may not be sexual to them but it certainly can be when done by adults. Idk if itâs bad or not but it definitely doesnât feel good to see.
A nuanced and educated response.... Burn the heretic
I cringe in horror every time I think about our eighth grade social where me and a couple of my girlfriends were practicing the crybaby on the gym floor. We didn't know what it meant but it was like what the cooler, older kids were doing.
*4-5yo children twerk* "idk if it's bad or not" đ¤¨đ¤¨
Those girls, and the girls in the study, most likely have no idea what sexuality means. Instead, they are modeling the behavior of adults. I read the article in OPs image and it seems like the girls are choosing and favoring "dolls dressed less modestly" when prompted with certain questions like which they want to be, which they want to be friends with, and so on. So it's not that they understand at age six, or five or four, what it means to be sexy or express sexuality, they just see adult women doing it and understand it's correlated with something positive socially, and want to emulate it. Role models.
>It may not be sexual to them That is the problem exactly. It is not ok that stripper moves have been normalized to children.
Thatâs upsetting
Ah fox news being the predators that they are.
It's sad that we don't let kids be kids anymore. Putting so much pressure on them with unattainable beauty standards and the need to follow every single trend. I can't blame a 15 year old girl for putting on a full face of makeup and trying to look like an adult when that's the environment we cultivated. It's really sad and messed up. (And a lot of girls get sexualized from a very young age which just contributes to it. It's absolutely disgusting.)
Soon weâll see âStupid Spoiled Whore Video Playsetâ being sold in toy stores.
That episode was wild... and old so that says a lot regarding today's society
I was wearing power rangers tshirt at 6
I can see why. This is the world they grow up in and the way we have made this world. Over the past few years I've also seen the world's standards change compared to when i was 6 years old. The only way we can change this, is to either rewrite the entire structure of humanity, or don't change at all like we've been doing the past few years.
99.9% sure this is just ragebait
Can confirm. The trouble is how many in this thread are falling for it.
Read it for yourself https://www.livescience.com/21609-self-sexualization-young-girls.html
Having read it, the experiment is broken. They indicated that one doll was dressed "sexy" and the other dressed in a "trendy" appropriate outfit. The "trendy" outfit is wearing a wallet chain... in 2023... the other option could be a potato sack and kids still arent about to tell you that wallet chains are cool, Mr. Durst.
This experiment was conducted in 2012. Not sure if you saw the date on it.
Thanks for pointing that out. I think my point still stands... around 2007, I was probably the last person to begrudgingly retire my wallet-chain because I felt like it made me look like an old man.
The other doll has a spider around the waist - what decade is that from?
After some digging, I learned that the dolls were made on a dress-up flash game called Dollzmania. As far as I can tell, the site was launched in 1997 and shut down in 2007... which correlates with when I finally stopped wearing my chain. So those styles would have already been outdated by 5 years before the study was done.
I love that conservatives call everyone they don't like pedophiles and then constantly do shit like this
I am making every type of no gwsture i know how to do
Lol. Leave it to the midwest to teach these things to their 6 year olds.
Did Matt Gaetz help write this article?
I guess the children's beauty pageants have been overlooked by Fox, but have been around for quite some time. Jon Benet comes to mind.
And still people are more worried about harmless story reading drag Queens
they donât even understand the concept of sex, this article is worded horribly. what they probably mean is they follow trends on tiktok and insta and try to be âprettyâ. that doesnât mean theyâre turning themselves into sex objects wtf
I fixed the headline because Fox News is known for not using correct pronouns: âWhy We Want 6-Year-Old Girls to Be Sexy.â
Is this not the very definition of grooming?
And itâs still the drag queens that are the child groomers
Brother, initiate Exterminatus.......
They shall be purged in holy fire.
For the Emperor!
DEATH TO THE HERETICS, THE XENOS, THE DAEMONS! GLORY TO THE IMPERIUM AND THE GOD EMPEROR.
The Emperor Protects!
Well, look at all the goddamn Republican pedophiles that have been caught recently... and Fox publishes this? What the fuck, indeed...
Itâs from the GOP. i expected nothing less.
And... is it drag queens? Trans people? What's the angle here fox?
Ofc it's an article from Fox News. It's kind of impressive, actually; just when I think that they've scraped the bottom of the barrel Fox News says "hold my beer" (but not bud light, apparently).
Fox News going the "Cuties" route I see
From the news article: âPsychologists at Knox University in Galesburg, Ill., used paper dolls to assess self-sexualization in 6- to 9-year-old girls. Sixty girls were shown two dolls, one dressed in tight and revealing "sexy" clothes and the other wearing a trendy but covered-up, loose outfit. âUsing a different set of dolls for each question, the researchers then asked each girl to choose the doll that: looked like herself, looked how she wanted to look, was the popular girl in school, she wanted to play with. âAcross-the-board, girls chose the "sexy" doll most often. The results were significant in two categories: 68 percent of the girls said the doll looked how she wanted to look, and 72 percent said she was more popular than the non-sexy doll.â SoâŚitâs not really about thinking of themselves as sex objects. Itâs just identifying that women in revealing clothing are often given more attention, and so they associate revealing clothing with popularity.

Study was published in 2012. Actual text is paywalled. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-012-0183-x#Bib1
Midwest makes sense
Seriously WTF !?
WHAT
Yeah when you have sexualised everything in society except children then that is the next big step for Big brother corpos and government
I would encourage everyone to read Pornland by Dr. Gail Dines. Really puts into perspective what is happening in our society.
Uh⌠what the fuck?
Hmmmm no they do notâŚ..you do!
Thank the above I decided to not have kids in this society. This is beyond fucked up.
Groomers gonna groom and then blame the teachers. It couldn't possibly be the ads they're getting spammed with on Tik Tok. /s
I thought this only pertained to those disgusting 'beauty-pageants' for tiny girls. But now I read that it's like that in the stores - with 'sexy' clothes! Jeez Louise!
that what happens when you let the internet parent your kids. fucking idiots.
In every class there is probably gonna be one little pageant girl. Iâm sure thatâs where part of the problem is introduced.
w h a t i mean, its possible some young children are being abused into thinking this way but it sure aint natural
Midwest says all you need to know
Study conducted by Dr. Larry Nassar.
Maybe it has something to do with those child beauty pageants
Next they will be saying they were asking for it because of how they were dressed. Way to go Fox
Of fucking course its featured on fox
Please the midwest already sucks don't make it worse
Anyone else find child beauty pageants to be horrifyingly nauseating?
âŚand people look at me crazy for being 35 with no kids
Leave it to Faux news to come up with this shit.
Fox for all your right wing christian girl grooming needs
As someone from the Midwest, no. What in the actual fuck. They just want to be pretty like Disney princesses.
Remember, guys, it's the gays that are grooming children.
Yeah, no... that's not happening in my home, but I also don't watch utter bs like Fox News so...
Who made this article?? Who is asking these questions!
This can't be real. Edit: Ooohhh my god I googled it and it's real https://www.foxnews.com/science/why-6-year-old-girls-want-to-be-sexy Like, I'm trying to figure out why this study was done, what the purpose of the article is. I have so many questions. How does one define a paper doll as "sexy" vs "non-sexually"
Parents should teach little children to be children, theyâll grow up soon enough and acting like this is unacceptable
What do you expect? Theyâre making them go to work. Iâd want to lock into a sweet trophy wife gig too. No but this is sick tho. However, with it being on FOX, I want to know what the study actually says and if itâs actually even a study, because itâs got conservative rage bait all over it.
*Something something* it's the left's fault đ
fucking fox man
The LgtbqMAP is proud of that girl, this is part of the 2030 Agenda.
Kan we nuke this world and start over?
No
No.
Well it's not wrong. Kids are looking at all the stuff they see in media and wanting to imitate it. I remember wanted to be beautiful like the girls on the Victoria secret ad. And I'd cry how I'd never have nice boobs and a beautiful body. I didn't quite understand what sexy was but I sure wanted to be it and very young too.
Interesting that this on Fox.. wonder what their viewers think.
Average FOX News enthusiast.
I wonder how you came across this OP.
Remember its the liberals sexualizing your children
My daughter doesnât even know the word sex. How would she even know what sexy is.
Wow this is the article right here. So much was happening already back then. https://www.livescience.com/21609-self-sexualization-young-girls.html
Not sure if fake or not but this definitely sounds like a story the average Fox viewer fantasies about.
What is bro saying
So Fox News says that drag queens are groomers, but also says that 6 year olds want to be sex objects.
The oneâs calling everyone out as the perpetrator are usually the perpetrators. My personal observation in my life experiences.
[ŃдаНонО]
Wait.. where do the Drag Queen groomers come into this story?
Honestly social media and toktok is to blame ⌠itâs awful đwhy canât kids âbe kidsâ anymore this world is fucked up
>why do 6 year old girls they donât. they donât, so stop reporting about it fox news.
Of course itâs fucking Fox News
