Okay, you all know that I have a toddler, so I have no reason to be in the girls clothing section. That is why I had no clue about this. When Kim was here we did some clothes shopping for her girls and while she was looking at pajamas I noticed that they have PADDED, UNDERWIRE bras for girls. These are not the training bras of my time (which wasn’t so long ago). These look EXACTLY like women’s bras – just in tiny sizes.
Is this really the message we want to send to our girls? I have already been ticked off enough with the super-short shorts for infants. America has gone off the deep end here with the sexualization of little girls. All this focus on their bodies and being sexy as children is just not right! Another example is the Bratz dolls. Mike and I saw a Bratz Party Bus at ToysRUs. A PARTY BUS!! Once again, is this the message we want to send to our girls? We should be teaching our girls to value themselves, their strengths, and their bodies, not to get their dolls together and pretend they are getting plastered on the party bus!!!! I am getting off my soapbox here, but this stuff really bothers me.
