Like you wouldn't just see a French dude and be like "hey everyone, look at that fucking guy he's so French, damn take a picture I gotta show everyone at the office what an absolute French person I saw".
But like, we see babies and it's all "OMG everyone look at the bay beeeee!"
Society to a large extent still treats children as property.
This is true. I personally am without kids, but I know a few lefty parents who won't put their kids on social media as they haven't given an adult consent yet. I think this is the way to be.
There's a good Moral Maze episode about this.
Its weird as shit too. All kinds of kid maintenance people get really weirded out when you come in with informed kids who know exactly what the procedure is, what goes on, and has their own questions about it appropriate for a 5 year old.
They expect you lie to your children, about anything that might be unpleasant and just let it be a traumatic surprise ( this is what my parents did )
If only there were other possible social interactions than staring...
