父母在“童年性别化”辩论中的地位自相矛盾。他们（“我们”）被认为对性化感到担忧，并被敦促通过运动、“说不”、与儿童讨论“媒体信息”等方式挑战性化，然而，“不负责任”的消费行为，特别是母亲的消费行为，也被认为是性化的原因。我们认为，父母的关注可能被夸大了：在我们的定性研究的参与者“性商品”往往不认为自己的孩子是“性”，不接受产品本质上是性的，并订阅了关于儿童发展和“好”的育儿观念，这需要让孩子自己决定这些项目。尽管如此，母亲们越来越被迫参与“性化辩论”，这样做似乎鼓励不断的自我审视和对他人的监督，以保持“可接受的”、适合同龄人群体的和“不适当的”做法和选择之间的界限。在这个意义上，性化可以被看作是一个形成道德的、负责任的父母主体性的场所。我们认为，它的成本（工人阶级）妇女和女孩，特别是：它自然化的社会不平等，通过掩盖对个人选择的限制，与旧的话语，使妇女负责男性性暴力的收敛，并加强狭隘和传统的道德议程。
Parents are contradictorily positioned within the “sexualisation of childhood” debate. They (“we”) are assumed to be concerned about sexualisation, and are urged to challenge it through campaigning, “saying no,” discussing “media messages” with children, and so on. Yet “irresponsible” consumption practices, particularly by mothers, are also held responsible for sexualisation. We argue that parental concern may be overstated: participants in our qualitative research into “sexualised goods” tended not to perceive their own children as “sexualised,” did not accept that products are inherently sexualised, and subscribed to ideas about child development and “good” parenting that entailed letting children make their own decisions about such items. Nonetheless, mothers are increasingly compelled to participate in the “sexualisation debate,” and doing so appears to encourage perpetual self-scrutiny and surveillance of others to maintain boundaries between “acceptable,” peer-group-appropriate and “inappropriate” practices and choices. In this sense sexualisation can be seen as a site for the formation of ethical, responsibilised parent subjectivities. We argue that it has costs for (working-class) women and girls in particular: it naturalises social inequalities by obscuring the constraints on individual choice, converges with older discourses that make women responsible for male sexual violence, and reinforces narrow and conventional moral agendas.
