Better a little effort in the right direction than none.

Wow. I didn't know that there were so many people who felt the same as I.

I don't see many kids wanting to do this on their own, without a lot of at least initial coaxing by the parents.

Later in life I can hear a manipulative parent bringing up how much they sacrificed for that child. I can see siblings being jealous.

Children don't have as strong a sense of self. I wonder how being on stage and hearing the applause from others twists their little egos - and how they think they must do this to get mummy to like me?

I've always wondered what kind of creeps are trolling these pageants.

This is to discourage the teaching of young girls that their main value in life is in their beauty.

Good! Those things are incredibly creepy.

Considering the ongoing genocide/replacement of the French People, I can't see how this could make any difference, one way or another.

If, however, there were an actual future for the French, then banning something so tacky and reminiscent of AMERICAN WHITE TRASH, would be a wonderful thing.

Kudos to France now if only the US would follow suit and protect these kids from the loony moms that get them into it!!
Kids need to be kids not strutting around at 5 years old like she was Mae West...ugh
