[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not one to turn my small children into unknowing billboards for my personal political and social views, but you be you OP...[/quote]

Who says it's unknowing?[/quote]

The kid is a preschooler. [/quote]

My preschooler is in on the "girl power" thing. [/quote]

my 5 year old is the biggest hillary supporter in the house- I'm for bernie & dh wanted bloomberg to run & we have to watch what we say about hrc in front of her because she's soo freaking excited that the national portrait gallery will have a woman up there in the hall of presidents.  We go there a lot /c w alive in chinatown and its an easy place to run around and open till 7. & she;s the one who noticed there were no 'girls'.

So yes preschoolers can very much know about girl power. [/quote]

A preschooler is not capable of having a meaningful opinion on political candidates. If all you're basing your opinion on is girl power than your daughter could theoretically be just as effusive about Trump if he was a woman. Or perhaps she would have happily campaigned for Sarah Palin? Of course she can be excited about a female president but [b]turning a small child into a political billboard is just tacky[/b] sorry.

And I'm a female HRC voter who is excited about the impending first female President. [/quote]

Huh!  See, I think being judgy about a preschooler's clothes is tacky, so there's that. [/quote]

OP asked if people would judge her. Just answering the question![/quote]

Your answer included calling a kid's clothing tacky.  That's not required in order to answer OP's question.  You are free to say it, of course.  And I'm free to think you're being tacky. [/quote]

You sure are! But I didn't call kid's clothing tacky. I said that using your kid as a political billboard was tacky. Had this question not been framed as OP basically asking if she could put her kid in pro-hillary clothing when she saw a parent wearing an old bush t-shirt then maybe I'd react different. Maybe if she'd posted a picture of the t-shirt and said, 'is this too politically weighted? i'm just all about girl power but wondering if this would verge a little too much into election commentary' I would have said, no girl power!. I am saying that as OP describes the situation, I would think it was a little much/annoying/exploitative.

Tacky I guess is a weighted word on this board. How about, 'in bad taste'?[/quote]
