Yes, sadly this is become normalized for that group. Alan Dershowitz even argued that the age of consent should be lowered because “as soon as girls go into puberty, they are having sex.” Absolutely disgusting.

Agreed. In no way was I ready as a 12-year-old girl ready for the complexities of having a sexual relationship. I am so tired of men who have no clue about our bodies and emotional stages telling us what we should do and when. #handsoff #Epstein

Yes, yes, yes. There’s a big difference between teenagers naturally exploring and developing versus being preyed upon. The media continues to sexualize children. My 5-year-old granddaughter wanted an outfit that wasn’t appropriate, and her pediatrician told her, “No—not until you’re 18.” Awful.

I pray she doesn’t grow up in a society that pressures her to have babies before she and her body are mature enough to make that decision for herself. It really does feel like The Handmaids Tale at times. God bless her and you for being such an astute Grandma who can help guide her choice. 🩷

My daughter and I teach her to be body-positive and not worry about adult issues. Sadly, some 5-year-olds already worry about being “fat.” We focus on good nutrition—she often asks, “Nonna, is this healthy?” It’s a lot of work, but we’re fortunate not to face poverty and access to nutritious food.
