This woman behind me at the doctor’s office has now said at least five times that her 9-month-old baby is “a flirt” and how he “flirts with all the ladies”.
Yes, this babbling infant who is currently being amused by car keys and mouth smacking noises is a master at romance and is certainly not just cooing at anyone who comes into his still-limited visual range because that is literally the only thing he knows how to do.
the thing that makes me the angriest about this bullshit
and it is bullshit, just the most patented, reeking bullshit imaginable
is that the justification i always hear when people are called out on this jackassery is that ‘well, he gets so much more excited to see ladies than men’ and it’s like – do you really not
are you really so fucking stupid that you don’t realize the reason for that? that women are allowed, it’s socially acceptable for strange women to fawn over other people’s babies. it’s practically expected. Of course your infant responds more often to the attention of strange women – because that’s the attention he is used to getting, you absolute waffle.
like, men getting all excited and curious about strange babies tends to be seen as suspect, because we as a species have fucking failed at developing as society. Your baby doesn’t respond as often to men because he’s not exposed to them as often or in the same way.
stop sexualizing your fucking infants you absolute knobs.
I don’t think that’s actually “sexualization” of infants, but it’s definetely stupid to act like a baby that age even knows what “flirting” could be. It’s also vaguely creepy too, like these moms see their babies as tiny adults and not infants. And yeah, the argument about how men being nice to babies is seen as creepy? That’s indeed a real awful issue. Men aren’t allowed to show love and affection to babies – like, even their own babies – because society will side-eye and cry pedo, while completely ignoring the real female pedos because “a woman would never do that” (newsflash: yes, they would and they do). Now THAT is a case of sexualization of a completely innocent and natural feeling that MUST stop right now.
when tucutes source the APA, the WHO, or the DSM in regards to the definition of trans despite them all considering crossdressers and GNC people trans:
People would take a LOT more care of themselves if their stats showed up.
I wish. Imagine how easy life could be if we could inspect the person across from us and see their traits and special talents. You meet someone, check their sheet and see “conniving” , “user”, “self diagnoser”, “trender” and just nope the fuck out of that conversation before they can work their magic.
