This.

I’m cynical, too. Sure. But I think there’s something helpful about seeing someone go from “traditionalist” to supporter of same-sex marriage. That original statement on Ellen? The one where she said she didn’t support same-sex marriage? I think that is one of the most honest things the Kardashian-Jenners have done in…

It’s the tiny-version-of-mom thing. I think I’d have less of a problem if her nipples hadn’t been painted too. It strikes me as off for the same reason as the tiny Pretty Woman prostitute costume from Toddlers and Tiaras. It also depends on how long the child was there, how happy she was with being there, etc. But I…

coming hard on me

That's how I feel. There's no problem with a toddler not wearing a shirt. The problem becomes when the shirtless toddler is doing something with a sexual overtone.

Yup. My toddler is allowed to run around nude or partially nude as much as she wants. We are a pretty naked family at home. I don’t however paint my nipples for stranger pics* and take baby along with me to work...

Under normal circumstance I’d be angry that a toddler was ordered to cover their “breasts” but this is not nearly a normal circumstance. The mother put the girl in a sexual situation—someone had to make some sort of call to put a stop to it.

Ditto.

I think the black paint on the toddler is what elevates it? It could be that the little girl wanted to look like mommy, but somehow covering kind of sexualizes (Original Sin). Either way the mother was exposing her child to the attention of strangers, so maybe not a great choice? (as a kid I would have freaked to be…

It was the tape over the baby’s nipples for me. It kind of shows that this isn't just some sweet children playing with the sun on their chests, not a care in the world. I don't think the woman is necessarily a bad woman or mother, but sometime a adult hobbies are just good old fashioned adult hobbies.

Yeah, I’m finding it very hard to get the slightest bit upset with the NY Post here, which is a new feeling for me. Like, yes, their campaign against the desnudas is terrible. But a fucking toddler had her nipples painted over and was put topless in a frilly dress next to her mom, who was selling a sex-adjacent…

That would be simultaneously very amusing and horrifying.

Yeah this one is weird. Objectively, no a toddler being topless is not a sexual thing at all, but in the context of this whole thing where these women are certainly being sexualized it is weird.

Of course a toddler’s body shouldn’t be sexualized, but this child’s body was put in an explicitly sexualized context, which is weird and gross. It’s not child porn, but definitely a step below the worst things I’ve seen on Toddlers and Tiaras.

The answer is that everyone who goes to Time Square is now obligated to be nude.

While I’m not angry at the nudity in general, nor I am at the nudity of toddler, this is clearly a sexualized nudity context, so I find it totally inappropriate for a toddler.

Donald Trump’s go- to pickup line I imagine.

8 yr. olds are in 2nd or 3rd grade. That is a very specific, deeply disgusting thing to say to a young child. Gross men yell vile things at tweens in the street all the time, but this sounds as if it was after a meeting or a show and this perv had a one-on-one conversation with her. That is seriously predatory.

“At 8, I had men putting dimes in my hands saying, ‘Call me. It’d be so great to f— when you’re older.’ And just horrible stuff.”

Oh man, that just made me so weepy. I have a lot of respect for him and I’m really grateful for the way he’s used his voice and power.
