After turning 2 years old, my son, Avishai, started demanding that he only wear tractor shirts, and my mind spiraled into darkness. I catastrophized worst-case scenarios, imagining a world where he fell for everything stereotypically manly. I envisioned him on a football field, barreling through mega-muscled opponents. Imagined him waxing a sports car on a warm summer day. I have always judged other guys who seemed boxed in by masculinity, but 3 ½ years ago, when I became a stay-at-home dad, my bias skyrocketed. My son was born in Albany, New York, on the bedroom floor of the apartment I shared with my wife. Minutes after his arrival, we took turns cuddling him against our bare chests. While the midwife and her assistant cleaned up, my wife, always one to joke, even soon after giving birth, bragged that she had a connection to our new baby that I could never attain because men couldn’t bond with babies like women could.

Is this a fake Babylon Bee site?
Pet Townshend, way ahead of his time..
Put down the soy milk, dad...maybe they will grow back.
I’ve got some really bad news for you Epsilon Dad. The attraction to tractors not only shows that your child is a (gasp) boy, he is likely to be a red-stater at heart. You’ll have to release him into the wilds on the west side of the Appalachians where he will be adopted by a family of barbarians unfamiliar with the importance of a bagel with a thick schmear. They will Make Avishai Great Again.
Israeli name. In English it’s almost always Abishai. A pal of King David in the Bible. Quite the warrior. Surprised Dad didn’t name him Nimrod.
Appears he gets the masculine traits from mom, dad is a squishy twink.
What no one tells you about gubmint run schools is that they’re effectively Fight Clubs for young boys. Trust me, I know. Fortunately my son is smart and a purple sash in Kung Fu. The first 3 years were Kommando Academy for him as he used to get into it every day! (Ex- wife won’t let him go to a real school...don’t ask)
What exactly is too masculine for a male?
Oh no! Your son might just grow up to be a man! The horror!!!!!!
Guys who wear those clear plastic frame glasses are suspect.
I can’t wait until the son decides he wants an AR-15 or something!
The guy’s head will asplode. Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose.
Well there's your problem. Stop judging others by your pre-conceived notions of how life should be.
Being a trannie is very vogue these days and parents and pre-adolescents get sucked in to it for the wrong reasons and without understanding the ramifications. Unfortunately, people are ill-advisedly making life changing decisions that are irreversible. Society will have to deal with irrevocably f’ed up people for years to come.
Love watching videos of Tractors and Combines on YouTube.
My Mother and all six of her sisters could operate any piece of equipment on the farm.
Thanks to Tractors and Combines, that’s how food ends up in the Supermarket. But I guess that concept is too much for wokesters to grasp.
I actually know a woman who was horrified that her four year old daughter embraced the whole Disney princess thing. To her credit, she kept her horror away from her daughter and let her wear the dresses and crowns and stuff because it made the girl happy.
Remember the saying "Boys will be boys"?
Hopefully, he'll grow up to learn to operate heavy equipment and he'll have a well paying job, anywhere he wants to go.
Your son will be ready when it’s time and some stupid soul tries to step on his toes.
I learned the hard way. But it made me ruthless with the neighborhood kids.
Gubmit schools are death zones.
USED carhartts. Carthartt recently went WOKE
