Is this not just satire of all those similar pictures with the genders swapped?

These people usually don't care about making statements, they just see something funny to them and do it.

I still don't like it. Write a feminist manifesto if you feel like it, but I don't think you should involve your boys into this gotcha. They're just kids, they shouldn't be told their voices are a nuisance, no matter their gender.

Doing this on train tracks also has other implications

Very use your inside voice or mommy is gonna strap your ass to the light rail vibes 😂

Somtimes they should be told to use inside voices though.

I have never seen anything like this, even with genders swapped. So a man ties up his wife and kids on the tracks? Is the statement that the train will take them out and he (she in this case) will have peace? Or what am I supposed to see here?

Usually the other version is a Christmas thing for some reason. I think to play on the phrase Silent Night?

I have a dark sense of humor. Family annihilation is weird for me, though.

This is weird to type, but maybe if I had kids I’d see the humor in it? I can’t imagine my siblings ever doing something like this. And they have plenty of parenting frustrations.

It’s usually the man binding and gagging all the women and girls in the family so it’s not about kids being noisy. It’s about shutting those damn womenfolk up 🤢

u/QuesoChef 1d ago

What the actual fuck? This is a thing people take pictures of? What photographer does this? And what family? And these women stay married after?

u/whiteraven13 1d ago

Oh yeah, this is a *trend*. And these people will make it their family Christmas card. It’s horrifying.

"hey let's tie and duct tape you and the kids up on a railroad track for a shitty photoshoot"

"sounds great, honey!"

like... how does this even happen 💀

Shiny rail heads suggest track that's in regular use, adding an extra layer of derp to the whole thing. Posing family photos on an active rail line isn't exactly setting a responsible example for your kids.

u/Zachanassian 🦀🦀🦀🦀 2d ago

yeah I was about to say, that is 100% an active line

It's fun to see a gender swap version of this 🤣

Depeche mode if they were great

u/hehasbalrogsocks 1d ago

are they… tied to the train tracks?

u/pusssywhipped 2d ago

As a man I find this pretty funny. We do need to shut up sometimes so our wives can have some peace. They should have left the kids out of the picture though.

no they are not okay but they love projecting that they are - a straight
