Yes, I do have a problem with what you describe because (1) merchandisers are simply making money off exploiting female children through commodifying age-inappropriate appearance and (2) young girls are being sent a message that they must look sexually provocative to be worthy of attention (as opposed to clean, well-groomed, nicely dressed, etc.)
