So we have tried video games, circuses, pantos

to try and defend the undefendable

I mean you still have Willie Wonka, Wizard of Oz and Tiswaz so all is not lost, I guess

The children are too young to even enjoy a Circus Act....bizarre.

**** has really jumped the shark when we have a thread full of childless grown men trying to pretend to be sincere whilst defending other grown men flashing their arseholes at babies.

I don't believe for a split second that any of you think this isn't dodgy - you're just being loyal soldiers in the culture wars. I get it, to an extent, but come on... you have to have a line somehwere, and refusing to acknowledge one doesn't make you look like a "loyal ally", it just makes you look stupid.

Yeah but this is something else, Liam. Primary-school kids have no business knowing about sexual stuff, at least not directly from educational authorities. Doing that to eight-month-olds (who might only just be able to crawl) is beyond insane. Like, come on, man.

Do you think sex education should be moved from Year 7 to Year 3 just for the sake of LGBT+ awareness, (which in and of itself is absolutely fine) Liam?

Either you want to give parents, especially mothers, the right to be in control of what their children are exposed to, based on what they think is acceptable and appropriate for their own family and children, or you don’t, you can’t have it both ways, no matter how much you want to

Sex education is fine for the appropriate ages it’s at now, I do however believe that social studies at an appropriate level for different ages , would be incredibly beneficial for society as a whole in the long run, thanks for confirming that young children are not being taught about sex like the right wing media are trying to make people believe though

What’s also funny is so called parents thinking they have the right to question other parents on what’s best for their children.

Keep in your own lane and worry about your own conditioned kids.

For a start you literally can, and the law is and has for a long time been "both ways". It has never been "at parent's discretion" to deliberately expose children to pornography or other adult material. It's not "all or nothing", what a bizarre notion.

For two, having an opinion on what is or isn't appropriate for children to be exposed to in public isn't even vaguely the same thing as forcibly removing parental decision making.

‘Stop telling me to teach my kids things I don’t want them to learn!!’

‘Stop teaching your kids things I don’t want them to learn!!’

It’s the hypocrisy for me

Not the "Childless men have just as much knowledge and experience of raising children as people who have raised children, and if you don't agree you're a bigot" card again. That was one of ol' Dezzy's favourites if I remember rightly, nice to see he's still around in spirit.

Can you please explain to me what a toddler is "learning" from having an adult man's taint shoved in their face?

Honestly I'm seeing lots of attempts at justification without actually being willing to address the central issue. What are they "learning"? And about... what?

I don’t get how you have to have children to have some unholy advantage over people that don’t. It’s ludicrous. I have nieces and young children in my family. Why don’t I get to have an opinion?

They’re learning tolerance

Oh is TS playing the old ‘you can’t have an opinion if you’re…’ card again? Last time he was telling me I couldn’t have an opinion on things because I’m a gay man, nice to see he’s expanding his horizons a bit now though

We should ban the Little Mermaid too? Kids seeing a 16yr old swimming about in a shell bra is warping the kids

"I don't get how experience increases knowledge" is what you've just said. Think about it for a second or two and (hopefully) it doesn't need explained?

"I just don't get how driving racing cars for 15 years gives someone an advantage in driving ability over someone who hasn't? My gradad lends me his Fiat 500 every weekend, why can't I compete?"

I'm not saying that everyone with kids is an expert, or that everyone gets it right, not by a long shot. I am however saying that someone who is childless has no idea what goes into child safeguarding every day. Pretending that you do is just sad, and LARPing as something that you're not. It's not a life experience that you have - so you know less about it! That's life! It's no "offensive".

Exactly
Good luck trying to control a baby or toddler in a loud circus environment .

[Cal.]

Looks to be a circus act to me however the outfit is a bit inappropriate for the age group.

Have you seen the whole video? There's one literally in a thong.
