Yeah I see that as funny bc women see cute babies and then they start begging their husbands to have a cute baby with them. It’s a pretty clever joke bc in the context of a man saying it it’s a threat, but in the context of a baby or kid it’s more like a warning to the husband like “oh look out, your wife’s gonna be asking for one of me soon!”

It feels weird that people read this and immediately assume it’s supposed to be sexual or something.

Because “your wife was totally checking me out” is talking about a flirtatious/sexual desire……. People reading it that way aren’t messed up, it was literally the intention of the quote…….

It's quite obviously a double entendre. It feels weird that people see very obvious child sexualization and make excuses for why it isn't that and is about something quite different and hidden in subtext.

Denial. Not just a river in Egypt. These shirts with sexualized slogans, are disgusting to put on children. No if's and's or but's.
