I was reading through one of those free local parenting magazines, and found an ad for Arbonne International makeup proclaiming "Look younger than your daughter".

This is a magazine aimed at parents with school age or younger children.

That's just creepy.

I can't help feeling that the attitudes behind that are related to things like this.

I've been really upset by the slow child-ification of beauty.

That's horrible. What did one of the guys say? She looked older? Okay.. I've met 15 year olds who looked 20 and 10 year olds who looked 14/15, but not 11 year olds who looked old enough to consent to sexual relations with 10 college-aged men. Almost like he was saying "We didn't know we were raping an 11 y/o".
