Dad of a little girl, a man ranted on social networks. He denounces the fact that, from an early age, baby clothes hypersexualize little girls.
The hypersexualization of little girls is a real problem on several levels. This encourages complexes, contributes to the culture of rape and child crime, and inscribes sexist dictates in the minds of young children. And it starts from birth … Under the pseudonym @ world.shaker, a little girl’s daddy has lashed out at TikTok against inappropriate baby clothes.
This man reacted to another TikTok, where a woman asked her followers when they noticed hypersexuality was starting so young. And his answer is scary: from the birth of his first daughter. He says he had a hard time finding suitable clothes for her, when she was still just a newborn baby. For example, he says he saw an infant bodysuit with the inscription “Sorry guys. Dad said no date.” “I wonder who they thought they were dating my 0 month old daughter”, he comments.
“Why is everything frilly? Why is everything hot pink? Why is there glitter all over the place?”, he asks. Worse yet: this daddy says girls ‘clothes were smaller than boys’ clothes labeled with the same size in months. Diktat of thinness and future complexes, hello! And as if that weren’t enough, he noticed that clothes designed for girls seemed more “sexy” than those for boys. For example, it was impossible to find a one-piece swimsuit for her baby: there were only bikins. Ditto for shorts: only ultra-short models. As for the pants, they are all tight, while those for boys are wide.

The video of this daddy did not fail to react the users of TikTok, and many people commented on it. Thus, many parents declared to have made the same observations and say they go to the “girls” departments as well as to those “for boys” to dress their children. One of them wonders: “Why can’t they let them be little girls instead of mini women? I don’t understand.” As one mom rightly points out, the problem is not just the look of the clothes, but also the message they send: “Can we also talk about the fact that wearing frills / pinks / sequins etc doesn’t mean that you are a girl and that you can’t have certain interests / hobbies? not the enemy, that’s the message that goes with it! “.
