Re: Excellent post, Seth!

she's been desexualized

Ah!! Actually, I'd argue that the act of covering her up amounts to sexualizing her! Her bare bottom was not "scandalous" before, because there were no awkward concerns about stirring erotic feelings. The act of expecting even young children to now be covered up amounts to an admittal that their nudity or semi-nudity is lible to arouse people, and covering up what used to be bare only ensures even more eroticization. Even in the pedo world, were 5-year-old female breasts ever a big turn-on before parents started making them wear bikini tops for swimming and the like? I don't think they were given as much notice before they were made to cover them up. As I've posted before, just look at Youtube sometime. Find LG videos uploaded by people in Latin America where it is still very normal and not sexual for young girls to be topless. Guaranteed, you will find many comments from America and other repressive countries frowning on the fact that even very young girls are topless, calling the parents sick or warning them of pending doom from pedos. It's really a social illness, and while the intent is to "save" or "protect" kids from sex, in reality they're only serving to connect kids with sex in the same thought. Bare-butt Coppertone girl was ensured to become even more eroticized when they covered her up.
