I’m not crying. Penguins smell like onions.

Yeah, the average happy days of a four-year-old are forgotten. But I still remember the day I pissed off my dad when I was four and ran away from him because he was going to hit me.

My 10 year old daughter is just awakening to this. I most always ask her if it’s okay to post a certain photo I’ve taken of her to Facebook. However, I struggle with stories about her because although they might be embarrassing to her, most of the time it is my experience as well and I’m not sure I’m willing to…

For the parents, I think it’s a way to have some clue what’s going on in their kids’ lives. If the degree of secretiveness my brother and I shared as children and teens is any indicator, any parent can use all the help there that they can get!

I mean, in the flood of information that enters the internet every day, I can’t see how a few pics of playing with dollies or riding bikes or whatever is going to matter. Worst case: someday, someone will laugh at their dumb hair or stupid outfit. I think they’ll live.

Hubs and I are 31 and dealing with this too, worse now that I’m expecting. I had to speak with my parents a few years ago that I didn’t want them posting random photos of us they take and then tagging us. I maintain a FB but it’s really locked down and I don’t post a lot. I don’t need them tagging me in things. I’ve…

What parents don’t seem to understand is that sharing on social media isn’t just showing a pic to their drinking buddies or church friends. It’s also posting a picture in the school cafeteria or playing their kids’ kindergarten music recital over the school intercom in high school. Parents who would never dream of…

I’ve always wondered about this, especially in relation to those so called”mommy bloggers” and “mommy vloggers” who post every little thing about their kids online. I know that years later their kids may need a lot of therapy once they find out that their once raging diaper rash was shared as a two-part series.…

I have a lot of friends with kids under the age of ten. All families but one post lots of pics and info on FB for distant friends and family to see. (I don’t have kids of my own, so I enjoy the pics and stories. Living vicariously! Wooooo!) Just one couple has chosen not to post pics and info of their kids (aged 4…

I think these kids have a legitimate case. Mom coming to school and embarrassing you in front of everyone isn’t the same as an unflattering pic being posted online, up for grabs for anyone to see and share, documented for eternity. As an adult, I hate getting my picture taken. I just don’t like it. But I'm an adult…

I’m 32, a virgin, and all those other things except Godly (atheist).

Well, I was 26 when I lost my virginity and I’m pretty awesome. I just don’t judge myself by whether or not I’ve had a dick inside me. Believe me, if you don’t have that big of a sex drive in high school / college, you can make it to the other side without having sex. And then by the time you are ready, it’s…

I mean, it isn’t that unlikely. If you grew up in a religious, conservative home, or just prioritized your own career goals over dating, it’s completely reasonable. Personally, I left my own upbringing behind several years ago, but I haven’t had sex yet because dating feels like a waste of time when there’s Netflix…

There’s also a lot of deconstructing how ~*effortless*~ things like lingerie and makeup are, and bringing to light how time consuming, ridiculous and expensive things are that women are expected to do.

Yes, I see what you say with the “If guys were like girl XC” videos. Those laugh at entrenched gender roles and stereotypes which doesn’t serve to challenge them. However, with the Try Guys, I think it’s different. I am not ashamed to say, I’ve watched most of the Try Guy videos. The Guys are products of this…

Well your opinion is...just that your opinion. I on the other hand adore the Try Guys and get what they are doing and appreciate it. Also are you kidding me with the whole they only do things women do? Bull fucking shit you picked those out to prove your point. The changing diapers one on particular was part of a four…

You really mad that they tried to spread awareness about prostate exams to their target demographics of young guys by exploding* the discomfort guys have around that stuff (the butt one)? I think they do a really, really good job of using humor and being on folks’ level while also questioning norms. You’re reading…

That last one should have been “people who never changed a diaper before” because I am pretty sure I would be funnier than the try guys, and I’m a mostly hetero 29-year-old lady who has never changed a diaper.

My opinion of these videos is that they are meant to actually break down steroetypes while playfully pointing out how idiotic and adorable we humans are.

As an open-minded, straight, white male, I can tell you it would be both hilarious and awkward if my friends and I were put up to some of the stuff the Try Guys do. For them to represent cross-dressing as “totally normal, acceptable behavior to the typical straight guy” would be both disingenuous and unfunny.
