At my gender reveal, I'm planning to poison the punch. All guests will have a choice between the pink and blue antidote. The correct choice is the true gender of the baby. There will be casualties.

If anyone wants to defend the dads who are straight up disappointed and upset that they are going to have a girl, let me tell you that my dad is a father of 4 girls, and 5 female grandbabies, and has not complained even once about our gender. He doesn't shame us for anything we wear and he is an educated man.
Be like my dad

on top of the danger and stupid gender norms some of the reactions the fathers have when its a girl are... concerning !

[caidalee]

This is why if I ever have kids, I’m finding out the sex the old-fashioned way: When it pops out. Before then, people are *way* too weird about my hypothetical kid’s genitals and what gifts they should get based off of said genitals. Like, “oh no! I can’t buy a tutu until I know it’s a girl!” ??? Then get a toy or something useful? “But should it be pink or blue?!?!” I don’t know, green? Orange? Black? God forbid I put a pink onesie on my infant son. That would just ruin him /s. Who cares, as long as it’s healthy? People are weird.

If a dude doesn't want to have a biological girl, then that tells you all you need to know about how he perceives women in general. Like, who the heck cares what the biological sex of a kid is?? Be grateful that you are even having a kid when others cannot do to some circumstance. I tell you...

Lets be real, the only good gender reveal that exists on this hellscape that is the internet is that one where they pop the empty balloon and while everyone is confused one woman goes "y'all done stressed me the fck out" and snatches her own wig to reveal the blue hair underneath. 10/10, best gender reveal.

saw a woman on tiktok from months ago that did a reveal party, was having a girl, and the guy straight up left. checked if there were any updates and she's divorcing him. love to see it lmfao

[ittobestguy]

the fact that in almost all of the gender reveals where the baby is a girl, the father gets upset about it, is so concerning and childish

[favbubblegirl]

Why can't we have nice things. The reveals being centered around the men ignoring their significant other makes me wish there was a multi-verse.

[albabarcenaferreras]

It's so heartbreaking to see so many men disappointed by the fact that they're having a baby girl instead of a baby boy. They being born should feel like a blessing no matter what their sex is.

I feel so bad for the lady who invented them. Incase you don't know, that blogger had suffered multiple miscarriages I believe and so she just wanted to make a nice event with her family to celebrate finally having a child.

[victoriaivars]

In my family, we have a tradition for this stuff. When a pregnancy is announced, we all try to guess the gender. When the parents find out, we all go out for lunch and the people who guessed wrong pay for everything. Simple and cool I think lol.

[flamingflamingo]

I feel sad for the girls born into families where they are clearly unwanted by their fathers.

[RandomUser]

Another thing is the blogger who made was prone to miscarriages early in her pregnancy. So when she got far along enough to tell the gender she wanted to throw a party to celebrate her making it this far along. The fact it went from a wholesome celebration of her baby's development to some flashy, life-threatening, gender stereotyping, weird ass event is so sad.

"But he can be disappointed that it's a girl, some people just have preferences." Okay and he can keep that shit to himself or talk about it to his wife in private, making a scene, swearing in front of toddlers like a man child who lost at a video game is entirely unnecessary.

Imagine being the kid of parents that get arrested for causing a toxic tsunami or something and figuring out you're transgender later in life like holy fuck my parents caused an environmental disaster for the wrong gender

my sister-in-law wanted to have a gender reveal, she just did it with a confetti air popper thing in her living room, it was cute, and my bitchass brother had the AUDACITY to get upset that his child is female. he's a deadbeat that no one in the family talks to anymore, and my adorable niece is 2 now. if you're gonna be upset about something as trivial as your child's assigned sex, you might as well just never have kids.

[johnnyneedscash]

the amount of men openly angry/disappointed about having a daughter is disgusting. if you already know you don't want to have a girl, don't have a child at all? adopt a boy, maybe? I get that gender disappointment is a thing but those men are doing too much

[CapnCrimson]

We love the casual, cozy misogyny of a dad getting visibly and audibly angry that he's having a girl 💖

[mothictobes]

my mom was told she wouldn't have any kids. but apparently my dad made it happen and he helped make me, and my two siblings. they wanted two girls and one boy. i came out as transgender to them in April of 2020. on Easter too after i had kept them up all night by talking to them. my dad responded with "hi trans, im dad" and since then i have been son to him.
im honestly just glad he accepts me and my siblings how we are
