Feminist disappointed she is having a boy

People are constantly telling me "boys are easier" to raise (casual and ingrained sexism, anyone?), but I think they are much harder.

How is saying boys are easier sexism but saying they are harder not sexism?

Question: when she said she felt sick at having something male inside her... when she became pregnant, wouldn't that also require her to have something male inside her?

I mean, I know that turkey basters are cheap and plentiful, but I'm pretty old fashioned.

Jesus Christ.

I read articles like this, and I always read over them again, only flipping the mentioned genders.

Disgusting.

I felt sick at the thought of something male growing inside me.

Where oh where do people get the nutty, obviously-false notion that feminists have some kind of problem with men?

"I will show him that girls are just people like him and that products and art targeted at them are no less valuable or enjoyable. He will be immersed in feminism by a family who models it in their everyday life."

This article has disturbed me, not at the "feminists are idiots" level but at the "this child's life will be ruined by a hate-filled bigot" level. She is planning to inculcate a child with shame and brainwash him with nonsense in order to make herself feel better.

I feel so sorry for the poor mite. He will almost certainly hate her, of course, but what pain lies ahead for him? The woman's Mother (Jane Caro) is a hate filled gender bigot, and she has raised another HFGB. But the male child doesn't deserve this.

I suspect he would be better off given up for adoption.

I've always been a feminist... when the sonographer pointed out my son's dangly bits in our 19-week scan, it was clear that I was going to raise a son... There were dark moments in the middle of the night (when all those dark thoughts come), when I felt sick at the thought of something male growing inside me.

Feminism: It's for Men Too.

As commenters to the article are already pointing out, Terra Clarke Olsen, the author of this piece, is already pre-judging her unborn child and has him pegged as a potential perp before he is even born -- and she thinks it is girls who suffer from sexism.

Maybe this horrible woman has to make a living or something and writes terrible things about a little baby that can't fight back and probably won't fight back against women like this due to cultural conditioning. She ends the piece with a quote from another parent saying about his five- year-old son: “I see this age as the perfect opportunity to (for better or worse) influence his worldview. That’s my job. If he grows up to be an asshole, that’s on me. I’ve failed him.” Wow, if he has a daughter, does he say, "Hope she doesn't grow up to be a slut!"? I really doubt it. Is this the way to treat any five year old--to think of him as a potential asshole just for being male?

I hope I am wrong and this author's poor kid will see mom for the terrible man-hating person that she is, but that is unlikely to happen. Kids naturally love mom, no matter what; it must be biological.

"Feminists have long expected a backlash from some mysterious cabal. They have breathlessly spoken of it as a wonderful opportunity to finally finish off the hated patriarchy. Imagine their horror as they realize that this backlash they have been preparing for all these years is coming from their sons. "

This is why I feel so bad for men raised by single mothers, and feminists. Its like they view them as a puppy they didn't really want to adopt.

Wow. The article is even worse than I expected

2016-12-22T03:16:39+00:00

Well, I have to say, I agree with her.

I'm disappointed she's having a boy too

Oh man, is she going to be in for a rude surprise.

I forsee an endless parade of her gendered presuppositions being shattered one after the other as her kid grows up.

I'm honestly surprised she didn't abort him.
