    I’m not planning to read this. Because it’s past time to even think we need an explanation of why they are a problem.

    Yes please, every single one I’ve been too has been nothing more than an excuse for the expectant mother to collect gifts.

    set aside stupid pyrotechnic parties which isn’t exclusive to gender/sex reveal parties. yes of course that nonsense should stop no matter what the occasion is.

    let’s talk about normal parties. i appreciate the author’s intentions but i don’t think they actually demonstrated that run of the mill gender/sex reveal parties actually cause any harm to anyone. They insisted it does without providing any evidence which is not a skeptical mindset.

    it’s not like these parties set in stone whatever decisions parents will make via a vis genitalia after birth. my guess is parents are going to decide whatever they’re going to decide whether or not they have a gender reveal party, but i’m open to hearing actual evidence on that.
