But why do people still insist on comparing the two children? Perhaps it's because of the supposed feud that happened between Jay-Z and Kanye over the summer?

Regardless of why people are doing this, one question comes to mind: Is it really necessary or appropriate to keep fixating on these kids?

Many will justify all they want about how celebrities should "expect" their private lives to be invaded as a natural consequence of their jobs, but is it fair to include children like Blue Ivy and North, who can't consent to these types of things, in the mix too?
