A SPC out of Ft. Stewart recently tried to put in a leave packet to go home for his wife's baby shower. His CO denied it with his reason being " men don't go to baby showers", so he had to resubmit.

Re: Real men don't....
That should be "An SPC...."
Anyway the CO was right (if this isn't all bogus) men do NOT go to baby showers - it's a girl thing. Just as men don't go to a Hen Party unless they are collecting dollar bills in their underwear (present company excepted of course)

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: Real men don't....
uhh men frequently go to their wives baby showers (if nothing else to haul the gifts) I was at my wifes and just about every guy I know who has had a kid in the past 5 years has gone to theirs.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I was at my sister's...
...an hour before it started, because my F-350 was the only vehicle in the family capable of carrying long serving tables.

Postmodern confusion - teach your children well. Stay away! It's a girl thing. Leave 'em alone. Unless you can squeal like a piggy of course.

What you afraid of a little endurance test?

It's not real why argue?
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is
Re: Real men don't....
"Squeal like a piggy?" Are you competing with Dave for misogynist of the year?
FWIW, the last decade has seen the rise of "Jack & Jill" showers, but parties, with lots of food and drink. Women-only is old school.
And even if the shower was old-school, all women, I've not been to one where the men didn't show up near the end to help with the gifts and eat the leftover food.

"but parties" - well, that's exactly what one would expect of such panty-waists.
