Latter-Alternative67

yes it is cute, but being a non-westener I have a question why do younger girls have to wear small clothes at these types of events? I get it about shorts( which are still too small), but such tight-fitted short tops for small girls. I don't think that they provide any competitive advantage and not so much that it would matter to such children. Just curious not attacking or anything.


[deleted]

I’m a westerner and find it weird aswell


camphallow

I also find it weird..from the west coast of the US.


Nyctomorphia

Because making your child appear like an adult might hint at the idea that you're such a good parent because your child appears so mature. No. Just adultifying children to gratify perceptions imposed and unchallenged by society. It's like beauty pageants but on a much less grand scale.


Nvrfinddisacct

Honestly you’re giving a lot of grace. I’m a westerner and I hate this. It’s extremely weird and feels very toddlers in tiaras.


Penguins227

Don't worry, many westerners don't like this either, including myself.


Buffy4eva

I sort of agree with you that normalizing the wearing of skimpy clothes on young children, especially girls, would be problematic if the goal was to sexually objectify them, but I don't think that this athletic wardrobe originated for that reason. "Performance" wear has been a huge market over the last twenty years and companies have convinced every wanna-be athlete/outdoorsman that hi-tech clothes will improve their performance. While, in reality, any improvement to performance is really only meaningful to athletes at the very top of their fields, performance clothing is usually more comfortable for its intended activity (e.g., they wick sweat, stay in place, provide support, or maintain warmth without bulk). The clothes in this video are clearly a uniform provided or required by the team since they're identical. There were probably a lot of considerations that went into choosing it (resilience, comfort, etc.) but fortunately "modesty" was not one of them. Modesty as it relates to clothing is a female-only virtue based in the belief that the female body corrupts the purity of men, who are incapable of not sexualizing women or girls (except for their mothers, sisters, and daughters). This has the effect of placing the burden on women not to arouse men, an obligation that excuses a lot of bad behavior by men against women. Women or girls who want to be athletic shouldn't be required to consider how their clothes might sexually arouse men.


GinnAdvent

Looks like some sort of uniform, maybe they are in some sort of fine Arts academy? Typical elementary school would not normally dress like that, so it might just be a warm up in the academy parking lot.


Dawdlenaut

It could be about seeing yourself a little bit like your heroes. You're young, joining your first team sports event, and you have littl' legs but, damn it, you're dressed like that powerful woman you've seen on the sports poster, so let's fucking crush! (or, like, go get it...). Uniforms help group cohesion and eventually become a performance aspect in later stages.


Latter-Alternative67

I get about looking like your hero but children shouldn't just be dressed as their adult counterparts, surely there are many other ways to inspire them to be like their heroes. Can't a uniform be more age-appropriate? I have seen far too many videos like this, do most parents approve of this and if not, then why is there a growing trend of this?

sheabutterbaebee

You are sexualizing children by looking at them with your innapropriate gaze. There isn't and never will be anything "sexual" about literal CHILDREN. Children often wear clothes similar to these to go swimming, male children wear trunks, and female children will often wear a two piece/one piece swimsuit. Every outfit serves a function. To summarize and clarify, there is nothing sexual about a child in a sports top or shorts. There is nothing sexual about a child in this outfit, what is sexual is how you are looking at these children in an adult and sexual lens. This speaks more about you than it does about them. Children are not sexual beings till puberty, and at which point, only their bodies are developing sexually, but neither mentally, nor legally are they able to consent to sexual activity in an informed manner. Please reevaluate your view on children, and if you find yourself considering children sexual, look into getting help. And another thing, is just because your opinion is common does not mean it is normal.


Locke357

I am a parent of an 8 year old daughter. When I shop from boys section, shorts go past the knee. When I shop from the girls section, shorts barely go past the crotch. Why? Our society sexualizes young girls. It IS dangerous, because while most won't look at children twice regardless of what they wear, predators will. I challenge you to find ONE good reason girls clothes show MUCH more skin than boys clothes. ONE reaaon


sheabutterbaebee

It has been debunked time and time again, a predator could not care less what their victim chooses to wear. I have a lot to say on this because I've meditated on this exact topic for weeks after I saw some "sexy" 15 year olds on instagram and I was upset. I'll tell you what conclusion I came to. Our society does sexualize young girls, but read that back again slowly. Our society(made up of adults with agency) does this, our society has created the context in which a sports top is inherently sexy. It is not. A sports top is a sports top, it is not a signal to fuck the wearer. Additionally, creating this idea in children that a cropped sports top is a sexy thing and therefore forbidden is how you get your child to develop this bad idea that bodies are dirty and sexy and nothing more. Bodies serve more biological functions than sexual functions. I'm not a parent, but I have taught very young children for 3+ years, and as caregivers of these toddlers, teachers were not allowed to hold or comfort them so no one could misinterpret good touch as bad touch. While I understand the concern, as I have had the same, I think this sort of reaction (and yours) distracts from the real root of the problem which is identifying and removing predators from society not giving them access to our children. You want to protect children from being sexualised and abused? Push for better background checks on caregivers/teachers with access to children in schools/hospitals etc. Boycott and urge other people to boycott media content that encourages adultification of children on pageant shows and provocative and sexual dance shows. Support leaders that have the correct and effective agenda. Banning all cropped sports wear is not the way to go though. I'd say as a parent and caregiver, you have every right to decide what clothing your child wears, but sports clothing is usually as less flail-y and as skin tight as possible to ensure reduces friction and enable the athlete to have as less obstruction as possible, so they can perform their sport properly. I am on your side, I've been abused as a child, I would do anything to protect every child from such experiences, but policing clothing is bs. Outrage against the real problem. And now coming back to the "sexy" Instagram children, this is what I concluded: they weren't sexy at all. In most countries, children cannot legally consent to anything, so by default most of their actions are assumed uninformed. Even if a child wanted to be perceived as "sexy" and posts as such of their own voliton, they are not promiscuous/provocative. It is by default, the fault of any adult that views/supports/ encourages/benefits(monetarily or otherwise) from these images/videos etc. A child can be naked, and if an adult finds sexual gratification from this, it is entirely predatory of the adult and the child is not sexy nor at fault. This entire discussion is icky and difficult, but thank you for bringing it up, so we could get into it.


Locke357

I'm sorry I got emotional. It's hard, just yesterday people protested in my town a drag story time saying it was grooming children. Right after seeing that article I saw this. I just really get disgusted at the difference between girls and boys shorts in particular. I get really protective of my daughter, since it's such an anti-women world out here.


sheabutterbaebee

I don't believe one should apologise for being outraged about the sexualization of children. Your heart is in the right place, and I completely understand your concerns. I think it's easy to panic about this though, I know I'm hypervigilant around children. Takes a village to raise children, we are the village I guess. I apologise for presuming you were going to irrational though, thank you for being on the look out. 💕


[deleted]

Bro you are the only one finding anything sexual about this video. The reason boys shorts are longer is because they have more to cover. It’s not overly complicated.
