I maintain that the reason everyone is so excited to assign newborn babies a sex is that newborns are really fucking *boring* and once you've exhausted the conversations about how long they sleep at a time or how much they feed, all there's left to discuss is their genitalia.

    @stavvers@masto.ai A nation of perverts, gossiping about the genitals of babies. Disgusting.

    @stavvers@masto.ai absolutely this. It’s either genitals or poop colours.

    @stavvers@masto.ai Wait, really? I was under the impression that newborn children tend to be far too exciting, in a matter of speaking

    @stavvers@masto.ai maybe but maybe it’s just that people doing gender reveals are too stupid to notice anything distinctive or interesting in their children’s inner lives (which pattern will no doubt continue indefinitely)

  • @stavvers@masto.ai or if you're in the royal family their colour?

  • @stavvers@masto.ai only flaw in that is that it's actually the very *first* thing they want to know. you have a baby, it's just "what is it?" and they don't like it if you say “human”

    @stavvers@masto.ai i believe we just keep thinking in dynasties, and having a male heir being of the outmost importance. in other words, it's patriarchy again.

    @stavvers@masto.ai this kind of works. If you're interested in babies there are loads of things about them to think about and talk about but they're details people who aren't interested in babies qua babies can't even distinguish, let alone understand, so you can't talk about them with most people.
