It's weird and creepy to want to dress your five year old up like a 30 year old hooker in my opinion. I think it's a great idea to put some restrictions, such as age limits, on those pageants.
Since when is it the province of government to regulate or better yet make pageants illegal?

This is a good thing.
No more toddlers and tiaras and teenage beauty pageants.
I have been saying for years that this is the proof of deep American cultural schizophrenia...on the one hand pedophilia has been elevated to the worst possible crime one can commit, and on the other the proliferation of beauty pageants that obviously physically objectify little girls (and boys in some) to an absurd degree.It's probably one of the most disturbing aspects of Western culture, and I won't shed a tear over this being passed.
France's Senate has voted to ban beauty pageants for children under 16, in an effort to protect children — especially girls — from being sexualized too early.
Anyone who enters a child into such a contest would face up to two years in prison and 30,000 euros in fines, according to the measure. A pageant organizer expressed regret that the move was so severe.
Such beauty pageants, involving girls of all ages heavily made up and dressed up, regularly elicit public debate in France and elsewhere. While such pageants are not as common in France as in the United States, girls get the message early on here that they are sexual beings, from social messages and advertising and marketing campaigns — and even from department stores that sell lingerie for girls as young as 6.
"The foundations of equal rights are threatened by the hyper-sexualization that touches children ... between 6 and 12 years old," said conservative lawmaker Chantal Jouanno, who authored the amendment.
She noted it's primarily focused on protecting girls. "When I asked an organizer why there were no mini-boy contests, I heard him respond that boys would not lower themselves like that.".....snip~

Now this is interesting. Hard to believe that the French can see some of the light and where exploitation of Women begins. What do you think.....should the US adopt the same law. Stop beauty contests for Girls under the age of 16? Charge Parents that want to use their kids to live off of? What about Baby Contests? Does it start there for the little girls? Myself I don't think it is a bad idea. Moreover it encourages girls to not look for an easy way out. Thoughts upon the matter.
So as someone "very conservative" you are okay with the exploration of young girls and how they dress and act in those pageants?
Okay...
