A few other examples would be Cinderella’s, Alice’s, Wendy’s and Sleeping Beauty’s (the fairies fighting over pink/blue makes much more sense in that context) dresses in the Disney movies. You can also find old magazines that advertise baby clothes or tell you how to furnish a nursery in the ‘correct’ colours.

A friend got so annoyed by people asking ‘what she was having’. One time her bf snapped and just said ‘a baby’.

Up until the early to mid 20th century pink was a boys colour and blue was a girls colour. Pink was seen as a softer variety of the dominant red and light blue as a variety for serene blue. Spanish bull fighters often wear pink for the same reason. Little boys also wore dresses because it made changing diapers or…

Well, even if you did have a boy. Who’s to say that he wouldn’t change his name when would get married? I know a guy whose father never provided anything but his name and he happily took his wife’s name.

My dad once told me that he had hoped that I’d be a girl because then I wouldn’t have to fight in a war or do compulsory military service. (Germany has abolished compulsory service a few years ago btw.)

The Habsburgs kind of managed that. They became so inbred that their last member was sterile.

Does she know what opinion the Nazis had of Eastern Europeans? She might want to read up on that before she starts claiming their values.

It feels aeons longer.

I don’t know how much filters mess with your face, but the freckles move in a different way than the rest of her face. They don’t move the same way as the glasses either though.

From what I’ve seen, apparently every second you spend on yourself (make-up of any kind or just getting dressed nicely) is a second you don’t spend on your child and therefore EVIL.

Whereas the joy of seeing them fail so spectacularly is Schadenfreude.

My hometown had an event where the Catholic and the Protestant church work together and have a joined service. The Protestant priest happened to be a woman. They had a weird quarrel where the Catholic priest demanded that the Protestant priest could lead part of the service only if she didn’t wear her robes, but…

Ebay is your friend.

Here in Germany violent video games are handled like cigarettes or alcohol. You have to be an adult to buy them (technically friends or parents can’t buy it for you either, but there are always loopholes) and the really hardcore ones can’t be openly advertised, they have to be in a special section or you have to ask…

I only get the ones who try to sell me ‘muslim black magic spells’. This one at least works for free.

Some of my teachers didn’t have the mental stability to be a teacher, let alone a teacher with a gun. Though one of them would have most likely shot herself rather than any of us.

It’s a real word.

That would be a buycott.

I’m a little glad that I was always too broke to buy stupid shit when I was a teen.
