I mean, with how America is going, a kevlar baby carrier might be a reasonable purchase. Sigh.

Masculinity, so fragile...

So, I don't hate tacti-cool baby gear, but it does make me angry.

It should have been high quality baby gear targeted at guys being silly. The glaring contrast between its function and its theme should be intentionally funny.
Instead you've got sexist shit trying to convince guys that it's okay, you can still be hyper masculine even if you care for your children, and selling profoundly inferior crap that's not even leveraging the ridiculous marketing options.

All the actual baby supply companies have instead started using the stuff you would want out of "tactical baby gear", and coloring it in cheerful colors that aren't traditionally gendered.

It's just a wasted opportunity for a good laugh that instead brings more shit into the world.

Laugh it up, funny boy. I know that even my six month old gets called up and sent to Afghanistan I'll be ready and you won't.

It’s pretty gross to pin this on an entire gender.

Kevlar for your baby seems like a good idea in the US

Actually kind of looks cool if you are into military gear… what’s the big deal.

Dad’s are awesome
