Is the guardian now equal to the daily star?

I have no words.

Megasausagehead · 16/07/2021 11:34

I guess they have unicorns

InspiralCoalescenceRingdown · 16/07/2021 11:50

The article says pregnant man, but the picture is a pregnant woman with short hair and moustache?

We can use it as an emoji when we want to say "Impossible"

Dogmalysis · 16/07/2021 11:56

Although that particular picture could also be used for "best get your liver function checked mate"

Doyoumind · 16/07/2021 11:58

I was coming to post about this. I mean, how often is this actually required? I can think of at least 1000 other concepts that would be in greater demand of an emoji and would be used more frequently used than this.

Dogmalysis wins the thread Wine

Outbutnotoutout · 16/07/2021 12:08

whychangethehabitofalifetime · 16/07/2021 12:34

Oh really! Ridiculous.

TheTallOakTrees · 16/07/2021 12:39

Oh dear. Only biological females might get pregnant. If tge keep their ovaries and say they are male the biologically they are still female

Do they also have them for the hundreds of different 'genders' 🤔

Cabinfever10 · 16/07/2021 12:42

Well I would have preferred a jumped the shark one

ImbarbaraB · 16/07/2021 12:45

Possibly just a man who’s had a bit too much sugar in his diet?

GoWalkabout · 16/07/2021 12:46

I am fine with emojis being inclusive of trans men that doesn't harm women's rights.

KohlaParasanda · 16/07/2021 12:47

I'm sure the Family Planning Association used to have a poster featuring a pregnant man, back in the 1970s, with a message suggesting that men might be more careful about contraception if THEY were the ones who got pregnant.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/07/2021 12:47

Looks like an 8 pints and a vindaloo emoji to me.

They did- I've got a really interesting book on the history of poster art and it's featured.

I assume the emoji will come to mean "bollocks".

Like the baby shower game 'beer or baby'
Sittinginthesand · 16/07/2021 12:54

Well, statistically the number of men with beer bellies vs the number of pregnant women who think they are a man must be millions to one, so it will mainly be used as a fat man emoji. Also most people aren’t aware of all the gender bullshit so they’ll just assume that’s what it is.

BraveBananaBadge · 16/07/2021 13:21

This idea that anyone has so much time to waste thinking about themselves they need validation from inclusive emojis is insane.

You fancy using an emoji, you find one that works, or you don't, you send your text anyway and go on with your day and never give it another thought surely. Or is that just us old farts?

PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 13:22

Many, many women are hirsute: Or, Nair and razor blades marketed at women would not exist.

Hands up who feel they have to tweeze/wax/cream their faces often due to facial hair. Can you say PCOS?

Hairy women get pregnant and gestate. Shocker.

"Men with beer bellies" is also very much a thing in unhealthy populations.

PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 13:24

The fact that they are tailcoating Black/Brown peoples concerns in White majority populations is absolutely no shocker whatsoever.

Haha they can make whatever they want, doesn't make it real 😂 I mean.. 🧜🏻‍♀️🧚🏻🧞
Only women can get pregnant, and this is the science I am teaching my child. He is not going to be brought up believing men can get pregnant no matter how much they try to shove a fantasy down our Throats..
