I'm a very liberal woman, pretty liberal as a mother of my daughter as well, but I've never been a fan of seeing kids at clearly adult bike venues. We all know where and when they are....There's a difference between bringing kids to a fairly mild Saturday swap meet and bringing them to Main St. Saturday night at Wiers Beach or Daytona or to the 'Vous, or to some of the hard partying campgrounds.....I don't allow my 14 year old daughter to see highly sexualized or crazy intense violence R rated movies yet, or hang out where adults are partying hearty, so why would I let her see public pole dancing at a bike event?(I mean really, some men just don't have it.)
It's not about trying to hide reality from my child. (That's impossible anyway.) It's about supporting her and guiding her in a world that tries to grow kids up too quickly already.
