awfully damn presumptuous of the bio-parents to presume what sex a gender fluid child might choose to be...or change their mind later and change

Don't know never been to one. Will never go to one. Baby showers are for getting women out of my hair so I can have peace and quiet.

My friend used it as an excuse to buy two kegs and invite everyone over. The girls all had their fun and we got free booze. What's not to like?

Why not have a party and blow up some pink and blue shit. And then have another random party too?

Hell, you don't even have to be having a baby.

I had a lot of people at mine. Friends and family  I smoked a brisket, ribs, pulled pork, beans, cheesy potatoes. Had a full size keg of busch light, pony keg of local IPA, I don't even know howany bottles of wine. 10lbs of tannerite. It was an incredible time for everyone.

Because gender reveal parties are making it about the gender of your spawn.  Oh, and bring us gifts and shower us with lots of attention because our mommy and daddy didn't give us enough.

Invite me over any other time.  Don't expect me to bring you shit, and I'll bring my own beer.  I'll show up nearly every time.

Gen X here. Gender reveal parties are ghey as hell and don’t have anything on the parties of the 80’s.

It’s the whole “look at us! Look at me” crap that makes them cringeworthy. Like a real life tik tok or Instagram video created for likes.

For both of our kids, our gender reveal party was at the hospital when the kid(s) popped out.  We found out at the same time as everyone else.

This but meh if other people want them. Our kids are 18 and 16. Wife’s obgyn said it was rare then. I can’t imagine it’s gotten more common. It seamed to us. Birth is when you are supposed to find out.

Dumb, but for a different reason.

If you reveal the sex, you get clothes, which the baby will outgrow in weeks.

If you don't reveal the sex, you get equipment and such, which will last longer.

Tip for baby gifts: buy clothes at size 9 to 12 months.  That way, your friend has some new clothes for the baby after all the showers and parties and such are over.

They’re not my favorite thing, but women seem to enjoy them.  It doesn’t kill me to go to one and a couple of hours seems to make the women happy.

Pet peeve of mine.  A 400 year-old use of a word gets dusted off by sociologists to mean things other than sex (not only sexual identity but also role in society--like merchants and craftsmen in a warrior society).  Then prudes turn around and use it as a replacement for the word sex.  Grr.

Its so dumb rofl

Back in the day, you'd tell your mom.  Maybe a friend.  Word got around.

Nobody ever made a list of 20 friends and started going down the call list:

"Hello?"

"Hi, it's Becky and Tom.  Guess what?  It's a GIRL!"

"oooooooooooookay? "

Then imagine doing that 19 more times for all your other friends.

Literally nobody but your family and MAYBE best friend cares.
