Gender reveal parties, and big planned reveals, literally were not a thing ten, fifteen years ago. Don’t let anyone pull that “it’s a tradition!” crap on you, youngsters. They’re LYING. People would either get the ultrasound or not to find out about the genitals, and tell people or not. That was that.
The fuss over “revealing” a baby’s gender in utero stinks of pushback against the shift toward a more nuanced understanding of gender. I mean yeah part of it is social media, and trends catching on, but don’t think for a minute this isn’t part of some regressive attitudes creeping into the mainstream with a cute (blue or pink) bow on it.
Even the woman who helped popularize gender reveal parties is like…slow your roll, fam.
She only had a gender reveal party because it was her first pregnancy that made it to a gender pregnancy scan. All her others had been miscarriages. She was only celebrating a pregnancy milestone!
that…..is a super valid reason for a party.
Wow, i did not expect that to be the reason this all started. Im so happy for her.
Okay here’s what I don’t understand about animal crossing
The villagers just wear shirts okay I can vibe with that Donald Duck logic
But Isabelle and Tom Nook wear shirts AND PANTS (Timmy and Tommy are standing right there! Do they feel naked???)
Crazy Redd only wears pants and they’re not even pants, let’s be real that’s an APRON HIS ASS IS JUST HANGING OUT
The Able sisters couldn’t even agree on a dress code! Sable and Mable just have aprons on, no shirt or pants and Labelle is SERVING LOOKS the other sisters have to feel a little uncomfortable about this
BLATHERS ONLY HAS A BOW TIE (maybe his front is like a sweater vest but it doesn’t look like it)
Staying home can be hard no matter what, but it’s going to be even harder if you don’t give yourself a break. You’re doing the best you can, and you deserve to treat yourself with the same kindness you treat your best friend.
