Happy EASTER! |
This is the weirdest ass thread I've read in a long time.
Calm down people!! 100% agree that #boymom is dumb, but I also 100% are that MOST hashtags are dumb. Labeling, generalizing, all that = dumb! Good-bye! |
NP here (and holy hell there are a lot of posts in this thread so i'm skipping toward the end). I don't see anything that remotely resembles "unstable paranoia" in the PP. To the contrary, you seem defensive, hyper-aggressive . . . and willing to engage in quite of a few biased opinions yourself. Going right for the "psycho girls" is enough to undermine your entire post. If you had something useful to say, it's gone now. |
Oh please. See Brett Kavanaugh. You "boymoms" were apoplectic over a woman coming forward with credible allegations of attempted rape. So much so that you excused it and were content with a half-assed, political, incomplete investigation rather than a full investigation of her allegations. So, spare me, please. |
Oh yes, but you aren't concerned about Corey Booker or Keith Ellison and their accusers are you????? |
Saddest thread I’ve read lately. Are you all really fellow parents??? I’d be scared to let my children be friends with any of your kids with attitudes like this.
|
It's not cluelessness. I have a boy, many of my friends have boys, all of us are on social media, and I've literally never seen a reference to this on FB, Twitter, or Instagram from people I know. And no one has ever mentioned it to me IRL (like during an actual conversation). It seems really weird to me. Not a thing where I am or in my social circles, I guess. |
I have boys and a girl and I don't really see it either. Maybe it's an education/SES-related thing. |
You know exactly nothing about what I'm concerned about. I'm fine with investigating any of it. We should take accusations seriously. Does that mean that they need to be automatically excommunicated from whatever position they hold? No. But, in some cases, yes. |
I have both and I've seen it around me. Parents with grad degrees and UMC. I get why people use it. Obviously it's rooted in stereotypes but for those families, those stereotypes must be somewhat applicable. But the same can be said for #girlmoms or #momsofboth- we all deal with dynamics that are unique to same sex or opposite sex siblings. |
I have both and have seen it used in my UMC, educated set, too. But I have never seen #girlmoms or #momsofboth. Can we all just be parents and agree that different families have different dynamics, only some of which are informed by gender? |
THIS. |
Obviously you missed the fact that one PP hadn't been posting and another had two boys. But way to polarize people! |
I agree with the PP who said all hashtags are dumb. #thisisus #partyof5 #lovemylife #dontbejealous etc
All of that is obnoxious, boys girls dogs, doesn’t matter. |
Agreed! This is an insane amount of pages caring THAT much about this. |
