Dad Slammed for 'Sexualizing' His Baby Girl in Photos & People Are Getting Heated
It's never okay to sexualize babies. That's something we can all agree on and probably shouldn't have to say. But that doesn't mean that we have to call the Outrage Squad on anyone who makes an innocent joke about a baby who is spread-eagle and loving life, like one dad did on Twitter.
New mom Harley posted these photos of her daughter with the caption 'Daddy was not having it. LMFAO.'
One photo has her infant daughter laying on her back with her legs spread a mile wide, grinning and happy as a clam. The next photo has her father's hands holding her legs together.
Social media went bananas.
Can we please save our outrage for times when it's needed?
Let's focus our energy where it's needed: protest for equal pay and fight for women's rights as citizens. Yes, we should, of course, point out instances of sexism when we see them. But this ain't it, folks.
This dad wasn't slut shaming his 3-month-old. We need to be able to tell the difference between what's important and what is a nothing-burger that should be ignored. This is the latter.
Stand down, Pious Twitter. At ease.
