Should child beauty pageants be outlawed?

Currently France is the only Western country that has banned them (a 16+ age requirement was put in place in 2013).

Another one of my few social authoritarian positions: yes, because sexualizing five-year-old girls by covering them with makeup and having them wear revealing outfits for a show for a bunch of seedy adults to enjoy is gross and often bordering on abuse.

those voting yes (and for some reason mocking those who disagree, slightly, with them and their ban happy ways), what age should people be in able to show off their bodies for fame and reward?  What about dance troops?  Talent shows?  It's already illegal to do bad things to children, any ban seems redundant to me.

I think the age limit in France (16) is fine.  Teaching a child as young as five to cake her face with makeup and look/act sexy for adults is just gross and morally reprehensible.

Also dance troops and talent shows are clearly different from beauty pageants.
