France bans child beauty pageants

Quote
France's Senate has voted to ban beauty pageants for children under 16 in an effort to protect girls from being sexualized too early.

Anyone who enters a child into such a contest would face up to two years in prison and 30,000 euros in fines. A pageant organizer lamented that the move was so severe.

The Senate approved the measure 197-146 overnight, as an amendment to a law on women's rights. The legislation must go to the lower house of parliament for further debate and another vote.

That's all I'm quoting, if you want to read more you can click on the link.

My opinion on this?

FUCKING.

YES.

That's something worth banning.

That's one thing I don't understand. Child pornography is illegal as it should be. But parading your underage daughter around in skimpy clothes and whore make up is perfectly fine.

...seriously? I'm no fan of beauty pageants, but they are hardly comparable to child porn.

Dressing your child in a skimpy/sleazy outfit, giving them lots of make-up, and having them parade in front of creepy old men isn't comparable?

Of course not. That only counts if you're planning on marrying them off to said men.
Her3tik, you have groupies.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I still think they're horridly fucked up, even if they aren't comparable to child porn.  We're still sexualizing and parading around children like things meant to amuse us, instead of the future of our entire species.

Teenagers get enough sexualization in the media, we don't need the age bar being set any LOWER.

Didn't PT Barnum start the first child beauty pageant? Or is that an urban myth?

I'm kinda split here. While I hate these pageants with the fiery passion of a thousands suns, I'm not sure they should be banned.

The first child beauty pageants were about being cute. Contestants were made up to look like Shirley Temple or Hayley Mills. Now, they're made up to look like Lady Gaga or Madonna.

Yup. Do an image search of "child beauty pageants"...and prepare yourself for a huge dose of creepy.

Let the girls be little kids for fucks sake. The whole pageant circuit life is too time and energy demanding and it's at core all about the big egos of the moms, anyway. What two year old just spontaneously demands to go on that pageant road, huh?

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Lol, that is no longer the purpose of beauty pageants. The purpose is not beauty of the kids it is MONEY! Mothers and fathers will psychologically abuse and effectively turn their own child into a Barbie Doll for that cold, hard cash. An effective screening measure for weeding out persons unfit for parenting.
Despite knowing about indoctrination I thought it was a good idea to put a human Reaper near my office. Now I am a sentient husk :(.

I definitely want this ban to spread to every single country.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:

Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Honestly, i dont like the idea of banning the pageants.

But the ick factor of the pageants overrides that, so fuckin A.
