The LAST thing I would ever enter my daughter in....

Pageants in general need to be left in the past and we should definitely not encourage children to take part in them.

And yet, the rightoids screech that it's trans people who are grooming kids...

Objectifying children is just disgusting.

Not legal in the UK

I remember the time, when in the early '90s I saw an USA-crime-film production, having on the spot a child beauty pageant. I was -then as a teen- shocked, like WTF-is-this-shít? Is-a-real-thing-in-the-USA? Jesus! So unreal! I mean, why anybody wants his/her 5-13 year old kid looking like a mid-30's, 'I've-seem-them-all" female character from a dystopian sc-fi movie?

Creepy AF.

Children should not wear makeup. No-one should wear makeup, but especially not children. Icky.

ughhhhh these should be outlawed

I've done one it was personality based

yea, gross.

so wrong!!

Nope.

You mean heterosexual grooming contests? /s

I don't even understand why is this a thing?

If they let kids just be kids, showcase a talent or whatnot but dressing them up like grownups is just weird.

In my mind, those should be blatantly illegal.

From a UK perspective, this is creepy as f**k - a paedo’s dream

I think we would be SHOCKED to see who he was cavorting with.

I am not planning on having children, but I think the idea they are property is wrong. My parents weren't the greatest, but they were OK. No abuse, little judgement, and they clearly loved me. They also taught me I am my own person.

Glad to hear they changed that law in CA. Hoping all the other states catch on, if they haven't already. What a shi**y thing to do.

Stalking is illegal unless there's money to be made. Got it. 😒

in the UK here it's illegal after 7pm for unsolicited callers to do that (hawking it's called I believe).... friends and family are obviously exempt (though I'd welcome them banned too ! ) ......also remember you are under no legal obligation to actually answer your door if someone knocks on it

Illegal in Sweden.

the details here... awkward

That is by definition not a monopoly - It’s an oligopoly.

Not okay. A document the child can't properly consent to doesn't make it any morally different than rape or statutory rape.

Just my opinion, but a 6 year old should not be latched on to mommy's booby.

"A court ruling that found a school janitor not guilty of groping a student because the act only lasted less than 10 seconds has sparked outrage in Italy." https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/07/13/europe/italy-groping-court-ruling-scli-intl/index.html

whoever made these amazing Drifloon covid-era train seats knew what they were doing.

In Japan, all phones have a clicking sound when used because of all the pervs. Like you can't turn the sound off.

Now, we're talking serious stuff!

I didn't know that tabloids did journalism.

Does he do the same in the men's restroom?

Sorry what? Is this really a thing? Like what happens when they turn 18? Or is the a really creepy perv thing

All the way up until my daughter was ~10 I was constantly asked why I didn't sign her up for modelling, my ex-MIL badgered me constantly, even tried to set up a photoshoot and trick me to taking her. She could not understand I wanted my daughter to just have a childhood, I didn't want her to be critiqued on appearance before she could even walk, I wanted her to have a teenage life where she wasn't obsessing over her appearance. Not to mention pervs. All I ever got was "bUt ThInK aBoUt ThE mOnEy" - f**k that, her life and mental wellbeing was worth more than anything of monetary value.

Nice loophole. Somewhat similar to the way medical research profited from experiments done in nazi death camps or scientists offering their medical expertise in a pseudo humanitarian project while actually abusing their unsuspecting patients as human guinea pigs (Guatemala syphilis experiments for just one example)

illegal here in UK....we have street harassment laws

This just isn't true at all in most places. This is largely illegal. They are called voyeurism laws, and can range in misdemeanor to felony. BP really does not fact check a single thing it allows to be posted

This is just creepy.

I want to shoot so many drones. Thankfully my house is entirely obscured by trees, but I still just want to shoot drones.

But is it grass-fed and organic?

Yeah, No Comment is exactly the wrong answer here. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to post that on the internet without an explanation.

I've never done this... I've never seen anyone else do this and I have never heard anyone talk about this being done! Until now... and honestly, I would have been OK with going the rest of my life without ever hearing this lol

Does "people" refer to the pasta, the shrimps or the china in the pic?

"my"
