What is the point of gender reveal parties

Does it ever end with someone saying, "I'm shocked, I really thought it was going to be a duck."

— Scaachi (@Scaachi) November 20, 2014

If you're gonna do a gender reveal party, don't play coy with colored smoke or whatever. When you blow up that cake, I expect to see a giant sign saying "IT'S A PENIS!" Showers of dicks raining down like confetti. You invited us here to celebrate genitals, Karen. You wanted this.

I showed my daughters a "gender" reveal where a family used pink balloons to announce they were having a girl. What is interesting is that my kids didn't get it because boys like pink too.

"Why not just eat cake and say we're having a kid?"

Gender reveal parties
- pushes gender stereotypes
- limited options, uninteresting
- apparently very dangerous

Due date moon sign reveal parties
- more personalized for baby
- provides actionable information
- great excuse for cake
