Again, you don't get that many of us who are anti-boymom HAVE SONS. Why. Is. This. So. Hard.
Yes, and a lot of you are nuts too.
Here is the thing. In this thread,
you have been absolutely and totally freaking out about people who use #boymom.
You are prejudiced against them, labeling them, accusing them of raising rapists, equating
little boys to being sexual assaulters (see the slam book post, though strangely quiet about the fact that both boys and girls engage in that behavior).
I've never used #boymom in my life and am unlikely to start, but I have never once seen it used in anything other than a wry, humorous fashion by moms of toddlers and little boys. I have never seen anything close to behavior that warrants the vitriol and nastiness spouted on this thread. Prior to this thread, I thought it was kind of a stupid thing you would see on Twitter maybe, or possibly Instagram, and not too often. If I thought about it, I thought it was stupid at best.
Now that I've read this thread and seen the level of paranoia, nastiness, and just plain irrational hate directed at these women (and their little boys, for God's sake!), I want to cheer the women who use #boymom on. I still will never use it, but the reactions in this thread are so over-the-top and literally irrational, that it's pretty hard for me to take you seriously. I mean, there was a mom here who linked it to femicide in rural third world countries, which is just so beyond rational it's hard to believe. (And subsequently accused those moms who use #boymom of not caring about femicide.) I am sorry, but that's wholly irrational and frankly bizarre behavior. There are real problems in life. The use of #boymom by a few toddler moms on Insta is not one of them.
I think that the mom who is talking about how the lot of you must be jealous of sporty sons is also nuts. But it's just plain outright true that the majority of the really crazy posts on this thread, the ones that are nasty, out-of-control, and show deep instability, have been from the anti-boymom posters.
