I feel like there is something else that bothers me about it.
Well, I know it bothers me that, if this is a case of teen/woman rather than little girls, the idea is that, by making Hello Kitty adornment shame the police, the message is, wearing Hello Kitty, dressing like a female, to be atmospherically feminine, is shameful. Universally. Which, means the ambience is inescapable, the manufactured and presumed shame is inescapable for a healthy chunk of the population.
Even, if it's just a case of 'little girls'-association, it's still predicated on the notion that there's something identifiably wrong with girls. Teaches (and reinforced for) everybody concerned to see a whole spectra that aren't objectively there. In the end, even the bulk of homophobic psychology are probably directly attributable to misogynistic messages of a lower visibility/distinction, such as this, the pink prisoner jumpsuits, and even the pink handcuffs. The only other example I could think of, the toy guns in Vermont, just demonstrates the full-of-shitness and public-relations intentions of these actions, since they always replace actually busting cops for doing the wrong/bad/illegal things. |
