    This is one subject that just makes my teeth rattle - seeing how these little girls are being turned into little sexual objects b/c their stupid, shallow mothers think it makes their little daughters 'prettier' or some such assy thing....then these same shallow, assy mothers - and fathers - will push them into kiddie beauty pageants, which should be banned, since they do nothing to help the child grow into a wholesome, mentally healthy child and the results are just very vain young women - and are also a magnet for the pedophiles.......

    But sex sells ... even if it's a small girl. What a sick society we've become....so much for the innocence of childhood........

    Well, it's not free market capitalism, it's capitalism. You let an emerging doll maker or clothing maker who doesn't create slut wear or slut dolls try to engage the current market.

    But I agree..Republicans support corporations so blindly that they refuse to accept that the record labels, movie studios, clothing makers, etc. all umbrella under the same large oligopolic structure to force feed us what we should "demand".

    Well, they're hit on both sides. The Republicans ignore the fact that corporations have no morals, and the Democrats have this "sex will happen at some point" attitude.

    There is no safe haven from modern depravity.

    Yes, but apparently you didn't. Liberals are never singled out and homosexuality isn't even HINTED at, but religious conservatism is specifically mentioned.

    But girls with religious mothers who did not consume a lot of media overwhelmingly did choose the sexy doll, in what the authors called a case of “forbidden fruit” that the girls idealized due to a lack of exposure to it, LiveScience reported."

    No, I'm not. I'm saying it's impossible to completely prevent exposure short of locking the girl in a sound-proofed basement in a straight jacket with the windows blacked out for the entirety of her life.

    To be fair, we're all causes. The Democrats' "sex will happen at some point anyway" attitude is just a response to the change in societal morals in regards to sex, and it's correct - but at the same time it tends to cross the line and overly sexualize the culture. So in come the Republicans.

    At the same time, Republicans (or religious conservatives in general) come along and turn sex into "forbidden fruit," and mankind's very nature is to always run for the forbidden fruit. Then they think just saying no will help, when all evidence points to the opposite. So in come the Democrats.

    And on and on we go...really, everyone opposed to the Norse religion and the idea of Ragnarok and the never-ending cycle of rebirth and destruction really miss how it is inherent in everything we do.

    This is no surprise. Unless completly clueless to the corperate world we live in.

    Girls are treated as sex objects far younger than the topic title. The toy market makes billions from this simple manipluation.

    But no stopping progress. Unfourantly our progression into further industrial technological development is going to make your kids further targets for the sharks in suits and corperate raids.

    Unless of course you are one of these people. In which case. Carry on exploiting.

    As well they should with liberals protecting people like Roman Polanski. Remember? There's rape-rape and then there's rape. Totally different. And, liberals fought to protect NAMBLA's secrecy.

    Me? I think it's sick. Remember Jon Benet Ramsey the beauty pageant contestant and murder victim. Sick. I recall a woman in a European country complaining because their socialized medicine wouldn't pay for breast implants for her 15-year old daughter. Sick.

    As I recall Barbie is well past 50 now, so no, its not the dolls. Its the Hollywood sex-culture that you libs have foisted upon society, because you lack the imagination to attract audiences with anything that doesn't include sex.

    You don't think this is a consequence of adrvertising and selling stuff? If you don't, you'd be wrong.

    They want to look like Britney Spears, who sells her records, by selling her image.

    Of course this is all about selling and advertising.

    But the OP will deny this, because heaven forbid corporations are held back from their financial aims in any way.

    The sexualization of young girls is not a political issue...

    So, let's not try to make it out to be that...

    This is an issue of sorry ass parents not teaching these young girls a sense of self-respect, and trying to dress their children older than they are, etc...

    I almost want to blame it on certain things that are marketed toward young girls, i.e. Bratz dolls, etc., but, that'd be as stupid as trying to blame a kid shooting another on GI Joe's or toy guns, or rap, etc...

    The main issue at hand is that parents need to teach their children the values that will get them ahead in life, and, dressing your 6-year old like a teenage girl would is not the way to do that...

    One of the things that irritates me the most was mentioned in that article, and, that's that "Toddlers & Tiaras" bull(*)(*)(*)(*)...

    Why do those parents do that to those little girls?

    Do they think they can't teach their daughters that they're beautiful without covering them in makeup and dressing like a porcelain doll?

    Or are they trying to live out some dream they had?

    Or are they trying to impress others by doing this?

    In any case, how pathetic...

    I think the blame for this lies solely on the parents, as with most other issues involving young children, i.e. obesity, bullying, or whatever...

    Why do you only blame advertising and ignore the programs that make up the majority of air time? They are just as bad as the commercials when it comes to sexualization - far worse in many cases.

    This is the conditioning process that liberals want so that younger and younger children will be willing participants to their deviancy. Pedophilia will be the next progressive "alternative lifestyle". You'd be a pedophobe to resist it.

    Also this is part of human evolution.

    Girls will practise their role early. And earlier if pushed by corperate interests. Same with boys. I remember a lesbian comedian whose stage act was joking to regards her young son. She tried to keep him away from anything gung ho macho. In her view that spoils men.

    She coulden't, The kid used toilet rolls as make believe machine guns to her horror.

    Well the main thrust of my point is that it's about money. Regardless of advertising or a TV programme, this is about making money, which means it won't change.

    This is illustrated by the OP, a 100% supporter of corporations - he will never conceed that the media companies are to blame.

    It's very similar to the obesity issue; companies are somehow blameless, when they are peddling the goods which cause this.

    From your argument, I presume conservatives will be boycotting Disney.

    That is true, it is all about making money. But I would argue that it isn't caused by the corporations pushing the lifestyle, but is instead caused by corporations catering to the population. People want to see sexualization on television, so that is what corporations provide them. If people wanted wholesome programming, you can bet that corporations would bring back "Leave it to Beaver" or "The Brady Bunch".

    This comes down to bad parenting and nothing else. No one else is responsible for you or your child but you. You can't blame this on corporations, they are not responsible for you or your children. Pointing fingers at opposing political parties? Absurd.

    Poor parenting including allowing your children to view inappropriate content on tv and setting poor examples/ role models. Then you have the opposite end of that, which is shown in the article, skirting issues to keep your kid in a bubble. Sometimes you might not be ready for a conversation with your kid on such a subject but once its broached by outside influences you have to do your best to help them rationalize it in a positive manner. That is your job as a parent.

    I have the same issue with violent content, I don't want my child to see it but I know he will be exposed to it, so we talk about why violence is wrong and why staying principled even when it seems everyone else thinks differently than you makes you a better person sometimes.
