I have noticed at times when I'm out pushing my 10 month old around in the stroller that it seems to bring out a certain emotion in some women. It is almost like some women do not like to see a man by himself pushing around a stroller for some reason. Granted, I do live in the south eastern part of the US (Florida).

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?

Well it's not as bad as some moron with a baby in a sling (the moron being male, that is)...but it's pretty revolting all the same.

I would just assume he is gay.

I think the parenting forum would be more appropriate for this topic

haha you assume a man is gay because he is giving his child a chance to see the world? That is pretty demented.

i push gf's stroller (with her daughter in it).

*shrugs*

i came from a single parent household (single mom, of course) so its like i get to do what my father never did. makes me feel warm inside and kinda sad at the same time.

but i'm the opposite. i don't like seeing women pushing strollers by themselves with no s/o around.

I think a man who does that is HOT. I would love a man who would do that.

Most women think it's adorable to see a man out with his baby, or out with his kids! How do you know those women were being disapproving?

Overhearing what I perceive as imbalanced comments.
