To think you shouldn't use the word 'Sexy' in the description title when selling a halloween costume for a little girl?

[OMFGShockHorror]

Just that really..

The Ad read -

Sexy cat costume, age 7 worn once. Comes with fingerless gloves and a little bow choker.

Someone bought it as well..

Don't get me started - my DDs school had a "superhero day" last week - of her classmates turned up in what could only have been described as a sexy batwoman suit - i was very Just looked so wrong on a 9 year old.

I was just flabbergasted that the seller used the word sexy in the description...

What's wrong with just 'Girls cat halloween outfit' ???

Yanbu i noticed this on fb a relative of my relative was commenting on a babies dress with 'oh look at her in her sexy little dress' it was a 1year ffs how can anything be sexy on a baby/child

Urgh.

YANBU

I hate the term 'sexy' used about babies or children. It makes me want to go off on an online rant when I see it on friends' facebook pages about their children! I don't think people mean it in the way I take it to mean, but I just don't think it should be used at all in any way relating to children!

Ew. That is a bit weird.

Ugh yanbu!
A girl on my Facebook puts up pictures me her toddler son saying "my sexy little man" yak!

you are not being unreasonable at all, it gives me the shudders. And I have never understood people who claim that sexy doesn't mean sexually attractive. of course it bloody does! When you call that baby or child 'sexy', you are saying that in your view, they are sexually attractive. That they arouse sexual interest. that they are sexually desirable. That's what sexy means.

If sexy doesn't mean sexually attractive, what does it mean? And if there's another word for it - use THAT! and leave the word sexy for things that make you horny, NOT kids!!

Urgh.

YANBU. Honestly what goes on in some people's heads? Actually don't want to know.

YADNBU. Did you message them? I message people all the time about the content of their ebay listings - 'you're starting this off on 20 quid but it costs 15 in Wilko's'; 'I would have placed a bid, but you're aggressive tone makes me imagine I'll be physically attacked when I come to collect it...'

It wasn't listed on ebay. It was on a local selling site on Facebook. I did comment. I asked if the description was correct to start with, I think someone else must have said something more direct beforehand and been deleted because the seller went on the defensive straight away. I then said they probably won't sell it with that description because no one would want to dress thier little girl up in a sexy outfit. Two minutes later it was sold. Must have been sold via private message though because the buyer didn't comment.

YANBU. Really worrying that anyone would think that was fine.

Are you sure it was sold?

Well the seller wrote sold under what I had put. So I guess it must have. They basically said piss off and don't comment on my post unless you're interested when I asked if the description was correct. You couldn't really tell the size of it I thought it must be a typo/mistake but no. Then they put yeah whatever bla bla next comment.. then it was sold.

Yanbu in the slightest.

Ewww. That's horrible. YANBU.

Yuk, how horrible. I hate the way this is happening so much. Not just in the overt naming of outfits like that but the design of them too.

I blame the BBC. Ever since they started going on about 'sexing up' the documents...it apparently means something else now

There was no moment of realisation, at all, she wasn't bothered that I, or anyone else might find the description disturbing. Just had a 'get stuffed I'm trying to sell my 8 year old's sexy Halloween costume that she wore last year' attitude.

UTTERLY STRANGE.

I don't think an adults Halloween costume should be sexy either.

It's should be scary, not sexy.

Sexy outfits belongs in the bedroom.

Children shouldn't be named sexy or have sexy clothing.
