Right.
A dad is being criticised for apparently “sexualising” his three-month-old daughter.
A photo was uploaded by Twitter user Harley showing her daughter, Alanis, lying on a bed with her feet up in the air smiling.
In the next photo, Alanis’s legs are being closed by her dad.
The caption reads: “Daddy was not having it lmfao” and some crying laughing faces.

The tweet was clearly meant to be a joke about overbearing dads who want their daughters to ‘keep their legs’ shut when they get older.
However, a good few people didn’t see it that way and started accusing the dad of “sexualising” his three-month-old.
“What the fuck is wrong with your baby daddy?!?! It’s a baby stop sexualizing your child,” wrote one person.

“This is perversive, wrong and disturbing. What a way to see a small baby,” said another. “Anybody that sees anything a baby does has sexual should be closely monitored.”

“Imagine actually thinking this is funny. Wow,” said somebody else.

Mum Harley, however, wasn’t all fazed by the criticism.
She said:

And there were, of course, others who didn’t see anything wrong with the photos at all.
One person said:

It’s clear that this dad is not at all sexualising his daughter. He’s just not.
Though, on the other hand, you could maybe understand why people would get into a bit of a tizzy about overbearing dads controlling their daughter’s lives.
This, however, is not at all what’s happening here.
She’s a three-month-old baby. It’s a tweet. That’s it.
