Struts. Struts? Those are for children?

Published by selidororous at 5:35 pm under sexualization of children Edit This

Apparently the little girls of America are not being sexualized enough.

Struts are toy figure horses dressed to look like twenty year olds who are really five year olds. It probably does not make much sense but given the nature of the media’s sexualization of children, particulalry little girls. Of course, in reality, horses do not wear high heels, brassieres, and pink lipstick. While I cannot quite group Barbie dolls in the same way, these so called toys are really not the best things for little girls to play with. Instead of trying to look like a twenty year old, a little girl would be better off with a set of Legos, a counting toy, even a paintbox and paper, than something that tells them they are good for nothing except being a sexual object at such a young age. Oh, the pedophiles would like that all right - do these toy companies have some kind of vested interest in America’s pedophiles? One could only hope that they do not. I mean, influencing little girls to dress up sexually - nah. It is ultimately the parents who have the authority as to what kind of toys their daughter play with - that Lego set, tinker toys, even cars and construction equipment - but horses that are dressed like humans just instill in these girls a false reality not only about themselves but also about horses.
