Talk:Groomer

Where to direct to?
I've redirected Groomer to Groom (disambiguation), where Child grooming is listed at the top.

I agree, you have to go back a couple centuries to find a relationship between groomer and bridegroom. But to simply redirect to Child grooming seems both recent- and U.S.-centric. While the term "child grooming" has probably been around for a few decades, the term "groomer" in this sense seems recent to current U.S. political discourse.

As a member of the "Non-U.S. Western Anglophone" community, the word groomer brings to mind firstly a horse or dog groomer, secondly a tender of large lawns or golf courses, and thirdly, a tie between a personal groomer (for film or public appearance, or challenges with self-grooming), and a pedophile grooming children.

If there's further discussion, it might be better at Redirects for discussion, where it could attract wider participation in the Wikipedia community. My two cents. signed, Willondon (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
