Small children frequently used to play naked, or at least, start out clothed and end up taking off their clothing because it either got wet or just because taking off clothing is what small children do. Really, if left to their own devices, they take it off, and you have to keep putting it back onto them.
It’s only in our new, bizarrely sexualized universe that anybody has considered a naked toddler or even 4 year old to be improper or possibly an incitement to rape.
I agree with you. This is a part of sexualizing children.
They are innocent. They have no sense of shame over their bodies and they have the right to be innocent and shameless.
Babies (and yes, I consider a 4 year old to be a ‘baby’) don’t need to be burdened with adult BS until they have to be.
About 40 years ago we had a neighbor that everytime their little girl would get outside with the adults back turned she would strip down to naked. lol
Someone would just call the mom and say...hey Bethie is naked again.
It was just funny to everyone. The little girl grew up to be a nice, responsible adult.
