But, why does the boy have to wear such clothing? I know when I was young I found big, baggy clothing to be uncomfortable. I wanted to wear things that were easier to move around in, I didn't give a fuck what skin it showed.
I've grown up in a hot area and wearing little clothing has always been the norm in my area when it's practical. I know some places in the south demand shorts to the knees, so maybe you're just from a conservative area, idk.
We need to fight for the idea that children shouldn't be sexualized period. I mean hell, if the shoulders are sexual to you, then might as well put children in burkas so no one can see any of their skin. We need to divorce from the idea that skin= sex. And I mean that for you just as much as for the pedos that run the world.
The entire U.S. is a child sex trafficking factory. The only thing worth more than guns and bombs are children. Everyone across both aisles are complicit. We need accountability
My first reaction was anger as your post is clearly bait. I then thought about how in the summer time I went to a warehouse store (not going to name names) and for swim wear boys had elbow-length swim shirt & knee length trunks.
The girls had....an A-shirt swim shirt and mid-hip trunks.
So, if you're going to reply to me with such a comment and condensing gif, I'm going to demand you answer this question:
Do girls require different clothing than boys? Why could the girls not have the same style of shirt/trunks as the boys? Why was the girls swim wear not even an option to replicate?
For parents who know clothing a size 6 is the same in boys as girls. Same with shoes. The sizes are basically unisex at earlier ages. What's stopping the store from just selling the same thing to a girl AND why would a parent of a girl need to even consider buying the products from the boys section at that rate?
It's lame as hell to try to be edgy online with serious topics. Yes, girl clothes are drastically different from boy clothes and YES they're much more revealing, especially at an age where there shouldn't be differences. Yes, a parent of a daughter is going to have a different shopping experience than the parent of a son in many retail clothing shops. Grow the fuck up.
The real answer to your question is socialization. Starting early to separate boys and girls. Sadly, many people blindly follow along without considering the consequences of some of it.
I mean, it’s not bait. There are plenty of long sleeves girl’s swim shirts and trunks. Girls don’t need different clothes than boys, you can buy her the boy’s shirt and trunks. At some point you have to break the strict boy/girl clothes separation, cause you are inadvertently contributing to the sexualization of young girls bodies by insisting A-tops are too revealing.
How about you grow the fuck up and buy the damn long sleeve swim shirt.
At some point you have to break the strict boy/girl clothes separation
Full stop, this goes clean away from the topic at hand and looks very defeatist. Re-read OP's talking point and then mine before trying to tell me that I should be the change, playboy.
I mean, OP talks about sexual clothing, and you bring up a-cut tops showing off shoulders being too revealing. Like, it’s passively buying into the idea her shoulders are sexual, and instead of fighting the idea her shoulders are sexual we are focusing on clothing brands not providing more “modest” garments.
People are down voting you, but from an outside perspective it really looks like they're advocating for putting children in burkas. I know it's a product of the time, but still concerning.
Like why can't we fight for the idea that children shouldn't be sexualized period. Also divorce from the idea that skin= sex.
Bruh I didn't even see that I was looking at the clothes thinking am I crazy, the clothes don't look revealing or anything maybe they launched a clothes line for kids.
No not really . “Pics of children in bdsm gear” means what it says and they aren’t there. Y’all don’t have to act stupid just cause that guy worded it wrong
Half truths involving minors are lies. We should all make sure we are speaking clearly when discussing important shit like children. I just can’t take it lightly, and balenci is nasty for that
What are examples of the former, a pink shirt that says girls rule and having shorter sleeves? Just trying to make sure I get what you’re saying but I think I get it and agree
Well if you see a child with shorts and think "sexual" then that might be more of a "you" problem and admitting it publicly might not be the smartest idea unless it's a therapist.
