Soldier Wasn’t Allowed To Attend A Baby Shower, Because “Men Don’t Go To Baby Showers,” So He Changed The Reason

ADVERTISEMENT

Men. There’s nothing manlier. Except, that is, for men in the army. They’re the manliest of them all. You know why? Because men in the army don’t go to baby showers!

That, at least, is what one soldier was told when he submitted his leave application for just such an event. It was first shared on Reddit and since then it’s been viewed more than 8 million times on Imgur. But it isn’t so much the soldier’s rejection that people are interested in: It’s his epic response to the situation. Because instead of accepting defeat like a big sissy, this guy manned up to deliver the most manliest of manly responses. Take a look below to see for yourself. Whether or not it worked, we have no idea. All we know for sure is that this guy is a legend.

Sorry to read this... I'm sure your teacher understood it wasn't his fault. Have a nice day!

Quite ironic how articles about women challenging stereotypes on Bored Panda are extremely serious about the 'patriarchal society' we live in, but if a man does the same the article is almost joking

I know a lot of men that go to baby showers. I can see why he might not get military leave for it, though. Wedding, or the actual birth of a child, maybe. But he's basically asking for time off to party. It's not like the kid is born yet.

Why shouldn't he be allowed to take holidays for whatever reason he likes?
