Who designs these?
February 3rd 2008 00:05
Are paedophiles designing children's clothing and underwear? You only need to walk through a clothing store to see that sex is being sold to children as well. What makes a designer decide to create underwear for a child that says 'bite this' or 'sexy' on the crotch? The crazy idea that sex should be sold to children or the desire to support child abuse? It's all about money apparently, and not logic.
Society has a huge problem not only with child abuse, but with paedophilia and children are becoming sexually active at younger and younger ages. Why? Well, considering the messages society brings across it's not surprising. Parents shouldn't be buying these things. Children don't control what they wear until they're old enough to buy their own clothing, so parents shouldn't be buying into this industry.
Why over-sexualise children's clothing and underwear? Yes, sex does seem to sell, but children shouldn't be a part of that. There should be protection in place. If that means a censorship of sorts on the images and slogans that can be put on children's clothing and underwear then so be it. It's about protecting children, not exposing them to the idea that this type of thing is sexy while they're still toddlers.
I remember last summer, I noticed a bikini for little girls in a store that absolutely disgusted me. It was tiny, and even had some padding in the top. What a way to teach girls from the youngest age that wearing the least amount of clothes possible is sexy. How many 9 or 10 year old girls (or younger) have you seen wondering around shopping centres wearing tiny tops and tiny shorts/skirts because they believe dressing like that is 'in'? Too many. Considering the messages they are exposed to from their toddler years however, this should be no surprise.
