  🪷Infantilization also shows up in the way a woman thinks and navigates her life. <br><br>You also may be infantilizing women:<br><br>1. Constantly seeking permission or reassurance<br>2. Avoiding adult responsibilities out of fear of doing them wrong<br>3. Expecting others to rescue or manage problems<br>4. Presenting as and being praised for being helpless or dependent<br>5. Struggling to assert boundaries<br>6. Being treated as though someone else knows what is best for her better than she does<br>7. Trying to make decisions for her “for her own good”<br>8. Being expected to ask permission for normal adult choices<br>9. Dismissing her judgment as naive, emotional, or immature<br>10. Having finances controlled or closely monitored<br>11. Having basic things explained to her unnecessarily<br>12. Being treated like she cannot handle conflict, stress, travel, or living alone<br>13. Being discouraged from or refusing to make &nbsp;independent choices<br>14. Being monitored regarding clothes, food, money, friends, or whereabouts

  people need to know the difference between cuteness and &nbsp;children. cute stuff does NOT mean its sexualizing kids. this is drama is dumb. not everything is pedophilia

  Babydoll was always for women, mature women, and then......a man got his hands on it, and we were screwed

  I always loved a younger childish cute look and I don’t think it’s for p e d o s either cause I never got any male attention with that kind of style

  It seems like this is being pushed by someone. I think that there&apos;s an agenda behind this.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3aboK3feLU&amp;t=80">1:20</a> i agree, i was a nail tech in my early 20s and the nail salon owner i worked for used to do Fat Joe&apos;s wife&apos;s nails. One day she said his wife, Angie Martinez, and his daughter wanted their nails done. The nail salon owner brought me and another nail tech to do this job. Anyway, Azzy Milan i think Fat Joe&apos;s daughter name is, she was like 9yrs old. I believe she is 20yrs old now, and she looks like she 25+ and sounds like a grown woman. Im 34 now and i get told i look 22 or even younger sometimes. Doesnt help that my voice sounds younger too. so imagine that, Azzy sounds like a GROWN woman at 20 i sound like a child at 34. <br>my cousin is 26 and people always ask if she is older than me. <br><br>i dont dress childish, but i love color as a millennial i was raised wearing bright colors so idk if that makes me look younger too.. But us millennials we will forever hold that child like spirit in our hearts❤

  &quot;Why?&quot; such a good response. But honestly, I think that women who intentionally use the lolita look are just as creepy as the epsteins of the world

  This is a very interesting trend I remember going to Hawai&apos;i a few years ago where they have a large population of Japanese people and saw countless girls dressed like school girls, some of them were walking hand in hand with western (older) men. I wasn&apos;t sure what to think of it, just found it abit odd.<br><br>I do consider myself more feminine in my energy and style, I have a soft voice, i like to take my time and move with ease and love soft colours, soft fabrics, dresses epescially long ones, kitten heels, wedge footwear, strappy sandals, sliders, clothes that drape or fit the frame that is me all day. I do like to dress what is considered age appropriate so knee high socks, pig tails, giant hair bobbles at this stage of my life isn&apos;t for me. <br><br>I can connect with my youthfulness and beauty in many ways without having to tap into my childhood.
