[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a girl but grew up in the competitive and professional dance world and for those who don’t think two pieces are sexualizing, I beg of you to do a little digging into when and how they became popular. When I was growing up it was very “popular” to start putting 4 & 5 year olds in two piece costumes and dance suggestively. I do think a lot of dance companies are starting to come off of that, but it was then - when competitive dance started meaning two piece costumes and grinding - that two piece swimsuits for little girls took off. There’s been a lot of debate in the dance world since and I do think they’re starting to correct it but those that think it didn’t have a sexualizing origin are just naive. [/quote]

So what are the specializing origins of boys’ stomachs/chests being exposed? Because if it’s sexualizing for girls to show stomach, it must be for boys, too. Or are boys’ bodies not sexual?[/quote]

Huh. It's hard to even know where to start. It's like if an alien landed on Earth and we had to explain the concepts of culture, gender, and sexuality.[/quote]

+1. These posters are playing dumb so they can dress their kids up "like mini me!" for Instagram[/quote]
