To think Waitrose won't sell many gender neutral mother's day cards, because mothers are WOMEN?

We see your absurd virtue-signalling

Hmm

Every single human being who has ever been born throughout the whole of history, has been born of woman. Not man, not non-binary, not super-latte-snowflake-aromantic: WOMAN.

I know some men feel really sad about this. I know that some of them had such sadz about it, that it led to a 6,000 year long tantrum, where they defined women as less human than them, defective men, immature versions of humans and enslaved us and categorised us as chattels and property. And now they are attempting to de-categorise us altogether, to pretend that as a category, we don't exist. We're just a feeling.

But they won't succeed, because everyone sane knows, that however you identify, whatever you feel about your body, if you've given birth to a child, you are a female. Because biology is real and "woman" is more than just a feeling in a man's head. Or dick.

Happy mother's day. Smile

A rather large link- apologies for that Grin

Could it be that this isn’t a transgender agenda marketing move but actually come from business realising if cards for mums and other carers sell on Father’s Day than the reverse may be true for Mother’s Day?

I haven't seen anyone selling gay or adoptive mothers etc down the river.

Gestating a baby is key though. - page 5

Having a foster mother or a valued aunt is not the same. Page 5

Must have missed those. I don't believe that you have to have gestated a baby to be a mum. Or that foster mums or aunties etc who have actively parented a child, don't count.
