Note that the figure in the graph above is male. Reinforcing the idea that "human" is male by default unless specified otherwise?

They're in two minds about how sexual they want this *child* to look. It's a very telling image, don't you think?

I read that when I was 16 and went "eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!" and I never forgot it. Laure, Hetty Johnson's coming to get you viz. that graph.

The infantilisation of women is becoming the relentless back-beat of consumer media. Excellent graphic demonstration of just why those giant head photo-shops have such a creepy feel to them.

Imagine her lolling head in your lap, tongue emerging, askew...muttering, "I kwant mooove my head". Some of Humanity devolves at a rapid pace...into dumbos...soon to join the dodos & Neanderthals...dumby dee dumb, dumb dee dumb...you can tell them by the way they flutter their eyes, dwool & fall on their butts wearing stilts for shoes, giggling like 1950s Granny locked in the attic. Or they have their eyes super-glued to cameras & computer screens whilst hands continually flutter about their groin appendage, searching for meaning. Addicted to the rush of blood & spurt to nowhere.
