There’s been quite a lot of controversy in recent years over how kids are being sexualized at too young an age. T-shirts with “Sex Kitten” or “So many boys, so little time” on them, and pole dancing kits designed for preteens being two examples
But what about a group of 7-year-olds performing Single Ladies by Beyonce?
People’s views on this seem to vary wildly. Some are aghast that such young children are being encouraged to dress scantily and cavort on stage to a song with adult themes and a sexy dance routine. While others think it’s fine.
I don’t doubt that there is a movement to sexualize kids at too young an age, but I’m guessing these kids chose to mimic Beyonce in this way, rather than being forced to. So where’s the harm, really?
It would probably help if it wasn’t uploaded to YouTube for the whole world to watch. But then newspapers and websites wouldn’t get a story out of it, would they.
