Call of Daddy
(lemmy.ml)
*American men
The baby must be at least Level IIIA / III right? Better than no plate at all.
Such a waste. Men get so few opportunities to wear peppa pig branded gear and still get respect and recognition from passers by.
Help, I can't see my baby. I put them down on the grass and now they're gone!
What a ridiculous thing to own (and I actually served!). 😅
When we had our first, there was a military spouse who would take old uniforms and turn them into really cool diaper bags (the side was the front of the shirt with name and service tapes). It wasn't camo, because my service just wears blue, but they ended up being effective and unique.
Tactical dads are OP
Honestly is one of those cases of "if tbis stupid thing gets you to do it, go ahead".
Fellas is it gay to have a kid?
only if you got a diaper bag without camo
Only if it's a boy
Only if you teach them to be literate.
If the gays don't have kids we will run out of gays /s
To all the people putting guys down for using it, screw you. If it gets dad's more involved in parenting, that's categorically a good thing!
Is it a cheap trick to boost some men's confidence? Yes. But so what? If your wife has an overly girly nappy bag, an "ironic" overly manly one has a lot more effect than you might think.
A lot of men are very insecure, when it comes to parenting. There is a massive amount of training and advice out there for mums, but VERY little for dads. We are left in a limbo of either being disconnected, and complained about, or bumbling and being complained about. It's improving, but slowly.
Word!
If it gets dad's more involved in parenting, that's categorically a good thing!
It's literally making their parenting hands-free.
Man if this is what gets a dad involved in raising the kids I feel bad for the kids. Is it looking at the child when they are first born? Is it the smile on the child's face as he sees thier dad walk through the door after a long day? Nope it's the camo gear that does it. They didn't want to be involved when is some girly baby, but now that there's men's gear specifically marketed toward manly man now he's interested. That kid is screwed.
True. Still funny.
Hot take: This is just an aesthetic, like baby aesthetic. Nothing wrong with it. Bro lines CoD
I actually own this. It’s fantastic!!!!! The baby diaper bag is a must have. It’s been to hell and back with two kids on many of family trips across the country and outings. the material it’s made out of are kid proof which is saying a lot
If you just had the bag or the carrier it would probably fly under the radar. But if you're going full tactical I'm gonna assume you're not ok.
When I first saw this when my wife was pregnant I was really annoyed & upset & scoffing at the thing. But then I looked at it & it has all the functional shit I should expect out of parenting gear & pockets/ loops galore.
then I got mad all over again because it shouldn't just be MEN'S baby gear that has all the utilities.
the patriarchy done got me again
My wife got me a Diaper Dude bag. It was just a navy messenger bag but it had all the pockets for everything you needed and it wasnt huge.
Inoffensive and functional diaper bags do exist.
Not sure how this is any different than buying any of the branded fashion bags. Those offer no special or unique functionality, just a name and maybe a specific material design.
It's not.
When something is marked up and marketed specifically to men, it's proof how insecure men are.
When something is marked up and marketed specifically to women, then women are victims and we call it the pink tax.
Guaranteed anyone who uses this makes fun of people for "spending too much on designer crap"
I was so confused when my coworkers were talking about some hard to get tote bag and when they finally brought one in it just looked like a regular cheap tote bag but apparently it was expensive for unknown reasons
FOMO
Who gave this baby an infant to carry?
Actually, Call of Daddy is the name of the queer dating sim I made.
If this is a mashup of Dream Daddy and Red Dawn, I’m in.
I mean, with how America is going, a kevlar baby carrier might be a reasonable purchase. Sigh.
That’s more things you’d want to start putting on a 4th birthday registry.
Just in time for the school year… if we still have education as an option by then.
Tactical papoose.
When my kids were babies a “man’s” diaper bag looked like a leather satchel.
Thing was awesome, too. The flap was attached with Velcro and was padded plastic on the inside so you could use it as a changing mat.
It held about a dozen diapers and a full pack of wipes and a change of clothes and snacks.
All the moms at the park were jealous.
Mine was Hello Kitty. All the moms were jealous.

I can't imagine an accessory screaming, "I'm insecure in my masculinity!" any more than this.
Fellas? Is it gay to take care of the child you made with a woman?
Apparently you can have a whole child and still feel unmanly enough to buy this, lol.
If one is attracted to perfume and makeup and pretty colors then women partners are the easy choice. Just sayin' 🤪
I'd get that type of diaper bag, if I had kids. I like the look. Most of my bags and backpacks are black MOLLE-covered military looking shit. You can like a functional aesthetic without being insecure about your masculinity. Some people just thinks it looks good, you know?
No different than 'feminine' bags with cute flowers on them
Well, other than it being all tacti-cool in aesthetics, standard baby gear is not as well arranged as what's in the picture.
That gear in the pic would let you carry the baby stuff with your hands free and able to actually take care of an infant out and about. Waaay better than the usual shoulder sling or backpack options, and absurdly better than the kinds meant to be carried by hand.
There's a reason surplus gear used to be wildly popular. It was mostly designed to work. It would be better than what you could get outside of a surplus store, even when what you were getting was years out of date and current issue was better. With companies making stuff that's built with stuff like molle in mind, following principles that make what's being carried leave hands free but be reasonably accessible, shit just works better, even though it looks ugly.
If I'm toting an infant around, I don't need pretty, I need comfortable and capable.
Women's apparel notoriously often lacks any pockets. At least historically. Not sure if there is a connection with the standard baby gear but an odd coincidence regardless.

It's a ridiculous ad so people would talk about it and it seems it's working...
We just used the free one we got from the NSW government. This thing looks stupid and I bet you'd feel stupid after 5 mins wearing it.
