It's funny you should say that, even if it was sarcasm. I am currently working toward my doctorate in Psychology, a huge portion of my focus being on childhood development/cognitive development, abnormal psychology (with a concentration in childhood AP), and I have a minor in Sociology.

Children are vulnerable, period. You can convince a child to literally believe and do anything. That is the definition of vulnerable.

I find it very bizarre that many of you, who are capable of understanding that socialization, media, commentary, images, etc. influence sexism, racism, rape culture, etc. etc., are unable to make the EXACT SAME connections here.

And you have proven my point. You were directly impacted and influenced by what you were surrounded by.

You aren't refuting anything I said.

Logic fail. Please read my posts again.

It is compounded exponentially when we're talking about children's developing minds. ESPECIALLY when it's encouraged/supported by the child's number 1 support and role-models; their parents.

They don't have FB, but they are around people who are using/checking FB.

You think my concern of exposing developing minds to imagery like this:

You're kidding yourself if you don't think the parent's interests heavily influenced these children's minds.

Good. These fucking pageants are stupid and demeaning. It has nothing to do with 'celebrating young women' and everything to do with treating women like they are objects, like they are cars at a fucking car show. Show off your sleek new look, and act like you give a shit about the new feature this year (the one has…

Because no matter how clean you are, the back of the toilet seat is susceptible to splash back and is less than perfectly clean. And since women are forced to touch their genitalia during bathroom breaks, unlike men (even with TP as a barrier), it is only polite to ensure that a woman doesn't have to put the seat…

Yea, I know. But I just can't. It makes me want to puke. It seems like our building can handle it anyway, and a lot of the buildings are newer and have better piping that can handle TP. We've happily continued to flush TP without any problems.

Well... if we're sharing weird shit in the pipes stories:

Good. Fuck that dude.

Good. Fuck that dude.

Is it? If women routinely "stood their ground" and shot their assailants, would this be such a common problem?

You're completely ignoring my point. But that's not surprising... you are a fucking trolling douche.

So violating another human being in a way that is dehumanizing, traumatizing and incredibly upsetting is 'fun' for you, and you justify it because their body was in your vicinity?

So assaulting and molesting people is 'fun' to you?
