NGL as a dad myself, I would be far more likely to make fun of this guy and his tacticool diaper bag than any dad carrying around the girliest bag their wife obviously picked out. It's way cooler to not give a shit what other people think of your child raising accessories.
Also, it looks like he is wearing his child as a tiny human shield. Squishy plate carrier.
Shocked we didn't see Elon wearing one of these with his ~~human shield~~ child
And people are calling the guy in the OP image fragile...
It looks cool, I'd use it! When you start making fun of me I'd just shrug and carry on, because I don't care what judgements some weirdo makes about my accessories.
Right? If you like it, you do you. It's shitty to criticize someone for liking a certain style.
The baby carrier and bag my wife got do not fit on me. The "mens" ones all look like this, so I had no choice.
On a related note, I find most of the bags marketed towards women focus more on aesthetics than usefulness and have poor functional design all over the place. These "tactical" bags tend to focus on functionality, which is a big plus IMO.
Diaper bag on Amazon literally listed as "for women" has more functionality that that side bag. They don't make Molle pouches for wipe dispensers like that side pouch this one has. Most of the 1st 20 results are the same level of 'functionality' - I don't doubt that some women's bags are more about aesthetics but this is literally advertising the aesthetic of the bag to men over function. Is there a diaper changing mat included with that tactical bag?
My wife is also not completely selfish and realises I'm also gonna be using these items so we pick something neutral.
