      Editing … To my understanding, girls getting their ears pierced in the western culture is like an initiation rite; an early step towards adulthood. But for 6yrs, that's *too* early. She's *playing* being an adult, at best. With make-up too, sometimes I think girls can't wait to prostitute themselves. Whore up and "look pretty". Because that is what is getting the attention. And getting all the attention is favorable. Because that is what they learn from their badly influencing idols, those instergurm models who are all about Likes and broken personalities. Imo, it just sets them on the wrong path early on in their lives. Like (often) eating at McDonald's too soon can get you hooked up on unhealthy fast food. 6-year-olds should not strive to "look pretty" – that only attracts pedophiles.

      Editing … She seems too young to be influenced by someone on instagram--and isn't the fact that a six-year old would want to wear earrings proof enough that it's not necessarily used for sexual expression? If they were expressly worn for sex appeal, a six-year old wouldn't have any drive to wear them. Hell, she probably thinks it looks good, but don't you hear how unreasonable it is to tell a kid "no, you're too young to wear things you think look good." It's not like a slutty dress, it's an accessory, the social interpretation of which isn't really all that sexualized.

      Editing … Make-up too, what really differentiates it from clothing? Literally any clothing that serves a single non-utilitarian purpose. In both cases, the wearer's essentially decorating the canvas that is their body in the same way. Just like shirts, shoes, tights, rings, and earrings, make-up is just another way to paint the canvas.

      Editing … There's plenty of ways for a child to look pretty and appropriately pretty for a child, like clothes or hair accessories. There's no need for her to overdo it and look pretty in an adult way. That level of prettiness – jewelry and make-up is for drawing sexual attention, after all – should be more in line with sexual readiness, meaning puberty. What I said earlier wasn't meant as "children should look ugly, and should not be allowed to look pretty, for their own protection". Looking pretty is not a boolean yes-or-no kind of thing to me. However, imo looking pretty in itself is nothing that they should strive for. And her trying to look inappropriately pretty tells me that she is placing too much weight in its value (or her parents are doing it in her place). A child that young who wants to be *that* pretty should rather go study or have fun, enjoy her young age. A good parent would try to correct her value system, not enforce this personality flaw. Some parents are dumb and don't say No when they should. That lack of limitation will harm the child in the long run. Besides, I'm no tyrant; I'm not forbading her to wear 'em. I'm not ripping them off her ears either. I'm not rallying people and demonstrating on the street. She can do whatever she want. And so can her parents. Let stupid people be stupid if they insist. But: I think it's inappropriate.

      Editing … But why are you projecting sexual readiness onto make-up and earrings? What makes those two items more inappropriate than other accessories? From reading your post, the difference seems completely arbitrary. Why would it be stupid to wear tights? Why would it be stupid to wear a tie? Why would it be stupid to wear earrings?

      Editing … It's an unnecessary and arbitrary singling out of something that doesn't cause any harm! With a miniskirt she'd be exposing herself too much for someone that young, but earrings? It's just metal and mineral! Make-up isn't an invitation to flirt! Your rhetoric's the same as rape victim blamers! Shame!
