    Imagine making having a kid your entire personality to the point you throw extravagant parties to just inform people of the gender.

    Straight parents like these need to get a grip.

      You just know he has a camo baby jumper ready, his room is full of footballs, cars, army figures and dark colours and his parents are the type of people that have parties with the men at one corner and the women at the other ‘coincedentally’

        Lmao this is too accurate.

        In his office/man cave he has a nude calendar as well. Nobody but he is allowed in obviously except other men from the parties they throw.

        What is it with those weird boomer parties where the sexes split? I’ve being to those and it’s like wtf are you people like if this is how you operate?

          Not the man cave 💀

          Because the men can’t talk to women about anything other than sports, how annoying le wife is and making boomer grade sexist jokes. I don’t know why. Toxic masculinity maybe. Can’t have feelings or niche interests as a man otherwise you’re a pariah. I have a somewhat flamboyant clothing style, I have an earring and often wear a moustache of some sort. I don’t look like a proper tough lad even though I’ve done factory work for years, do fight training, sports, typical tough guy shit. But still men feel the need to either not talk to me, try to talk me down or outright insult me when they see me. Women don’t have this problem apparently. It’s just so tiring. And I’m cishet. Can’t Imagine what non cishet people go through.

          Spent my entire youth surrounded in these type of situations. At least my parents are able to be normal so I had some example of how to be a functional person.

            It’s ridiculous, you find the same mechanics now in younger cishet white dude groups where they’ve added politics, crypto, stock trading and COD into the mix and its like omg your all copy pastes of each other 💀

            I think women do just not as much and not in the same overly competitive and chauvinistic way.

      I blame Facebook and their brands. Everything has to get bigger, more over the top. So just popping a balloon is not going to get the likes you crave. No, you have to paint a waterfall blue or detonate a bomb in a dry area in nature, lighting the state on fire.

      Jenna Karvunidis, and in her defense, it’s less about the baby’s gender, and more about the fact it’s her first child to survive long enough to determine the child’s gender.

      [She also just use a simple vanilla cake for the event, not some stupid crap like, say, a fucking bomb.]

      Her previous pregnancies (yes, plurals) all ended in miscarriage. For her first baby to reach this point, it’s understandable she want to have a celebration. She did point out later how dumb the whole idea is, especially since the child she held the very first gender revealed party was held for wasn’t really interested in the child birth gender.

    The straights are not okay.

    Worst part is, as environmentalists and LGBTQTIA+ rights groups increasingly call people out for this kind of bullshit, the number and intensity of these kinds of acts will only get worse, purely to “own the libs”.

      ugh, conservatives really think they’re different from liberals when they aren’t.

        Agreed, only difference between them is whether their particular favorite company holds more influence this election cycle or not

      We had so much shock and awe from people because we waited until the babies were born to know what gentils they had. People are fucking nuts about knowing who has nuts

    I don’t even understand why is the sex of a baby a subject of conversation like bruh you ain’t gonna date them or something

    The waterfall was probably blue already, I don’t see the problem here.
