I don’t give a damn about your baby’s gender, but on the other hand I like free booze

These parties usually don't have booze

No one except the grandparents gives a flying eff what gender your kid is. Literally no one.
People play along because they have to, but really, have the kid, send a birth announcement and we will spend exactly 3 seconds thinking about it and be done with that forever.
That is, these parties are ego strokes for the parents who mistakenly think this kid is the end all be all.

Why are people obsessed with telling everyone about their baby’s genitalia? 😩

Dumb. Who cares.
No one cares
Seems self-indulgent. Your baby’s sex is important enough to warrant an entire party with friends, family, and gifts? I get having a baby shower, but to me these just seem like a money grab.

SC1 the hosting couple can tell folks not to bring gifts (or save them for the shower)

It’s an excuse to have a party 🤷🏼♀️

People who do these idiotic celebrations are the ones who have nothing else that great going on that they have to plan an elaborate celebration to reveal if they’re having a boy or girl.

Not for me, but I get how they can be enjoyable for some. As long as it’s done safely, obviously- not just the wildfires but also I think someone died a bit ago from a pipe bomb that was used at one? Tragic.
Man I seriously thought those were supposed to be some adult themed shenanigans until recently.

Gender is a construct made by advertising people. The color pink was a color boys would wear before the 19th century, boys would also wear dresses because they were easier to put on, also kings wore leggings and heels... now all the sudden you it’s only blue for boys or pink for girls and specific toys for each. Also you have to burn down a state to make sure everyone knows what to expect of the baby before it even can talk. Just celebrate having a child and giving it your unconditional love no matter what path in life they chose for themselves.
