Do you think child pageants like these sexualize children?

    SAM, you are scraping the bottom of the barrel in a vain attempt to defend the indefensible. There are all sorts of contests kids can enter but the point at issues is not about all these competitions; it's about a specific activity which most of us find deeply offensive. Stick to the subject and stop sliding about all over the place.

    Next you'll be comparing these wretched contests with kids playing in chess tournaments; you've tried about everything else

    Specific activity? These are also kids in adult clothes with make up dancing "suggestively" to sexy songs.

    So , that's ok then. Roll your eyes some more. Your argument is specious. An extreme form would be if I condemned theft, your response would be, well it's not as bad as murder.

    Finding other situations where kids are taught to behave like mini adults may or not be sexualising them. The context is what matters. What we are discussing on here is a case of blatant sexualisation of children. If you cannot see that, I feel sorry for you.

    What the hell is your point. You know very well where we are talking about. Deal with the question in the terms we are discussing it ! Don't try to confuse the issue by introducing irrelevant material !

    If you want to talk about sex and the East, do so on another thread.
