also, schools using kids to sell garbage products as fundraisers

I agree, thankfully it is illegal in many western countries.

we need them. its not like having a period is a choice. its not like when its my time of the month I can just be like "ya know what? I'm not gonna bleed today. I'm super broke."

I believe WE should be voting on that not them.

Yes yes and yes

YES YES YESSS THAT IS SOOO ANNNOYING

This very site does this. When on my phone a pop up in left corner now. Click the corner X to close and open click bait.

Yes, the wage disparity has become ridiculous.

Thyroid meds!!! I could die without this!

Definitely

honestly, i've been bullied and NO ONE did ANYTHING about it

Why is everyone so invested in someone's kid's genitals?! The best gender reveal party would involve popping a balloon that sprinkled biodegradable purple confetti, followed by "Yakkity Sax" blasting on speakers while a couple people in fairy wings skip around with signs that say "Gender is a social construct," "Kids are more than gender," and "Ask me about my personally signed copy of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble."

I don't understand, what the point? In Denmark we don't have Gender reveal parties or babyshowers - We have a party when the child get's it's name and that's it - seames like something copanies has pushed so you have to spend more money

All pyrotechnics and fireworks should be banned around the world. They are horrible for the environment and animals !!

This Gender revealed things is banned in my country due to heavily Abortion of Girl fetuses

My child is on the way... that should be reason enough to celebrate.

literally the first gender reveal was because the woman had so many miscarriages that getting to the point to see the sx of the baby was a big deal and they wanted to throw a party because of it! which totally called for a party! but it's kinda gotten out of hand with many, many people

I'm personally disgusted with GRP. Usually it's a big FU to the environment (where your loved offspring is going to live in. I would understand for a father to know the gender, prefun of connection with the little one when still in the womb, connection for mom is obviously easier than for dad. But just celebrate a person. A new human. Why care about gender, when we are not supposed to care about gender.

If someone ever invited me to a gender reveal party, I'm not going to that or their baby shower. If you have enough money to waste on this b******t, you have enough money to put away for your future child. Morons.

Back in my cay, people would just pick up a phone and... you know... just tell their friends and relatives "It's a boy/girl."

Yea this!! When my mommy was pregnant with my little sister we didn’t have a huge party. To tell our family the gender we just filled balloons with pink confetti and let them pop it. No explosives, just a good time :)

I'm not a fan of gender reveal parties but am ok with baby showers. They can help the parents celebrate the forthcoming arrival and are quite fun. I don't agree with having to pay a fee to go to the shower AND buying a gift.

I don't understand why you people care what other people are doing with their freedom

It's not just the explositions. It's just annoying. Why is it even a thing to celebrate. Just save that money for the child's future.

I don't get gender reveal bs. The gender reveal when I had my kids was the ob announcing "it's a boy/girl/girl"

Yeah, no. Like the baby shower wasn't painful enough. People are so self-involved. Nobody really cares about the gender of your kid.

And they leave their trash all over the public! Disgusting!!!

It's also stupid because what if you have a kid, who later in life comes out as trans. Or some kids come out as trans even when they're as young as toddlers.

As a father who had to attend a dumb gender reveal party, I agree. Same with baby showers. Guys shouldn't be allowed to attend any of that dumb c**p 😜

Okay, for the last time, THESE ARE NOT GENDER REVEAL PARTIES! These are genital reveal parties. Gender is NOT the same as sex, and no parent knows the gender of their child until their child announces it. So stop it. FFS.

That's a thing?!

Nothing wrong with a pink or blue cake hidden under frosting if that's your thing. I view it as a way for some people to milk their friends and relatives for more gifts but as long as no one gets hurt there's no harm in a simple thing.

They should just be illegal. Whatever happened to just good old baby showers? Want a bunch of gifts, cake, and food? There ya go.

Gender reveal parties are OK, but it needs to be in private circles (ex. Friends, family) with just a cake that is pink or blue on the inside.

weapons could be a better response

Why does it matter whether firing a cannon takes place at a gender reveal party or not?
