http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/18/20564025-frances-senate-votes-to-ban-child-beauty-pageants
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.
-
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?
-
Comparable in acts yes but the degree CP is worse is infinite
-
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?

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.
-
I definitely want this ban to spread to every single country.
-
Fuck yeah, down with this sort of thing!
-
Honestly, i dont like the idea of banning the pageants.
But the ick factor of the pageants overrides that, so fuckin A.

For once, I agree with the French.
-
I don't think that child beauty pageants should be banned, they just need to stop dressing kids like strippers.
-
NO WIRE HANGARS!

I don't know about you lot, but I don't think I'll be crying myself to sleep over this anytime soon.

What Art said.
Ironbite-seriously this is barely a step up from child porn anyways so the more countries that ban this shit the better
-
Holey phuck!!! That third video above shows a little girl being coerced into a brow waxing and she screams and shakes in dread, terror, and pain. Documented child abuse goddammit.
-
On the positive side, the pageants do a fine job of instilling an important American value: your worth as a human depends exclusively on your appearance.
-
Holy phuck!!! That third video above shows a little girl being coerced into a brow waxing and she screams and shakes in dread, terror, and pain. Documented child abuse goddammit.
It was only mentioned once at the beginning of the video, but in the first one the girl is apparently getting virgin Brazilian waxing. Let that sink in. An eight year old getting her junk waxed. I'm sorry, do they examine vaginae now in pageants?
-
Waitwaitwait...waxing an 8 year-old? Of ANY gender? WHAT THE FUCK IS THERE TO WAX?!
And, how is this fucking legal?!
-
Yeah I don't get it. Remember Tan Mom, and how they busted her ass for taking her girl to the tanning salon? WTF. These videos document physical and emotional child abuse, plain as day. Where are the warrants?
-
Child beauty pageants inflicted Honey Boo Boo on the world.
They need to be banned as punishment for that alone.
-
In America we make TV shows about them.

WHAAAAAAAT WHAT WHHAAAAATT NONONONONONONO WHAT IS THERE TO WAX??!!?!
*opens brain, inserts bleach*
-
And now you see why I support banning child beauty pageants.
-
The moms and estheticians who perform botox injections and Brazilian waxing and brow waxing on little girls need to go to fucking jail. Dangerous, viciously insane child abuse. Think of how delicate a child's skin is. In that brow waxing scene, the eight year was terrified because the first time they waxed her brows...they fucking tore off her skin with one brow. ARRGGHHH! I wanna choke a bitch, ya know?

White America, everybody. This is such a wonderful fucking country we all live in...

For the record, the Botox story turned out to be a hoax. Apparently the mom made it up in order to get rich off of television interviews.
-
Ah, at least that. Wish I could unsee that little girl screaming during her brow waxing though. Surely at least a few of these mommie dearest pageanteers saw that interview and thought to try it?

Oh thank god, except for the fact that her mother is clearly a nigh-irredeemable bitch whose whole focus on life is just MONEYMONEYMONEY.
Also, no, I have not seen any of the videos, and I never will. I do not want to hear the wailing from the girl who had to go through eyebrow waxing, just to look "pretty" to a bunch of cheap fucks who have nothing better to do with their lives.

I watched the eyebrow waxing one. That mother and whoever's administering the waxing need to be thrown in jail for child abuse. The little girl was terrified out of her mind (the mother admitted that normally she'd just hold her down).
