In your entire life?
You don't spend much time in the politics folder, do you?

If I had a 10-month old son or daughter I would have absolutely no problem pushing them around in a stroller alone and I would have absolutely no concern about what others thought "it looked like".

Wow, are you serious? I guess you don't want Fathers involved in their children's lives.

And what exactly is wrong with a baby sling?

I don't think twice about men with strollers. I see fathers with babies and children at the park all the time. It's a healthy, normal activity for fathers.

I can't say I have much thought about it when I see a man pushing a stroller. But I'm not really a stroller-person. If I see him carrying his baby in a sling or other such carrier though, I think it's very sweet and endearing.

I have a few theories as to what brings on this phenomena. The first is that these women don't have a husband that would ever push a stroller. The second is that they don't have children and just can't relate. The third is that they just simply think it's wrong for a man to push a stroller and or it's not a man's job to have such an active role in fatherhood.

Picture a lone man with a baby pushing a stroller with the needed diaper bag all parents must have.

Why does the sight of a man pushing a stroller spontaneously arise a strong psychological state in some women?

You have discovered a new way to pick up chicks. And shall write your book on dating..... "pushing the stroller 101 ways to score with hot women while having kids"

Seriously? I always had the exact opposite problem. I couldn't go two hundred yards without some woman stopping me and cooing. And some were pretty damned flirty with me, too. There were a couple of times when a woman would volunteer her name and where she lived. I was halfway expecting her to scribble out a phone number, too.

You've got to be kidding.

That has to be the most bizarre thing I've ever read in my life. Or at least the top ten most bizarre things I've ever read on CD.

And I've read some doozies.
