Triggered by Mother's day (it's the baby stupid)

 Instapundit notes that some companies are trying to eliminate Mother's day.

HotAir notesl the real truth about such emails: We erase them without reading them.

This is ironic in many ways, not the least of which is that a lot of us find going to our email boxes because facing 20,082 unread emails–not including what wound up in “Junk,” is “difficult,” “challenging,” and “sensitive.” Personally, I would be happy if they sent me fewer marketing emails.

But why the push? This not just that they are deciding to cancel a beloved holiday if mentioning upsets you, but because many of these twitter threads use the exact same language, suggesting that it part of an organized campaign.

twitter thread here.

Something very strange is happening with Big Corporations. Out of nowhere, @kroger owned @FrysFoodStores, @KayJewelers, @Hallmark, and now @DoorDash have all sent "Opt out of #MothersDay" emails to their customer base. This is not organic.

This reeks of anti-family activists. pic.twitter.com/4pkKqGUooW

hmm... More here:

 

>>>>one twitter thread blames a waPo columnist for starting this trend, because she tweeted she just lost her mother and these ads reminded her of that sad event.

So sympathies to this lady...but there are not a lot of people who lost their mothers in the last few months, so why do this for a small number of these customers when anyone with a lick of sense (or who have friends that are normal) will be pissed at you for doing this?

these things take time to plan, and  notice they use almost the same wording in these tweets?

Yup. This was planned: And I suspect like the pushing of transgender people and other family unfriendly actions, it was pushed from above by activists, not by their customer base.

 Coincidence? 

So who is triggered by Mother's day? 

Well, those who lost their mothers recently and are mourning them.

Those who hate their mothers.

Some women who have a difficult relationships with their mother? That is again a problem that happens with teenagers, and yes there are toxic mothers (my husband's ex is a prime example of this) but most people over the age of 30 learn to live with them and even care for them, (and learn to ignore the toxic mothers who manipulate them instead of getting hysterical about mother's day).

but I hate to say this, but why Mother's day triggers many of the feminist upper middle class white women (aka Karens) is this: 

Mother's day reminds them of the missing baby.

Some women lost their children through miscarriage, accident or disease.

They might be triggered because they mourn their lost child.

And some waited too long to have a baby, and then faced the hurdles of infertility treatment? And when that failed, they are triggered by the sight of a baby, especially one with a happy mother.

But you know, these reminders are part of the mourning process, and in the long run help people to heal.

So why this hatred of Mother's day (and that is what this is hatred of the normal, hatred of the family): these trends are the same ones behind the gender wars being fought in the USA.

and you know who these activists consider the enemy:

 But there is a darker reason for some women to hate motherhood:

because mother's day reminds them that they aborted their children. And alas there are more of these ladies than those in these other categories.

And despite all the talk of abortion being good, and a free choice, or having no emotional effects on the mother, the dirty little secret is that often the woman was forced into this by those around her, and often she laments her abortion and mourns her child that was never born.

Sigh.
