I mean why? Wouldn't it be much more realistic and relatable if the ad was like "oh thank fuck I'm not pregnant"

Isn't the bigger question why are corpo marketing ghouls chosing to show women well past their second or third trimester with a test stick when it's intended for use in like the first few months. Yes I know it's to make their product more obvious for what it is and what it's for, but come on!
I think that’s the joke - hence the “when you want to be sure” tagline.
new conspiracy theory: they're in cahoots with other industries that do body shaming. Oh you think you're pregnant? What if you just got oddly fat?
I remember there was this morbid Discovery Channel show that was all about women who didn't know they were pregnant until they had some really bad abdominal pain and pretty much gave birth.
My mom was obsessed with that show.
Me getting annoyed at everyone ITT making the same joke only to realize it wasn't a joke
Hi! I get that you don't mean anything by use of the word, but would you mind editing it out for another one anyway? It is still a misogynistic slur, even if you had no intention of misogyny - Which I am not saying you had or have.
I wonder what the historical reason that led to this word not being on Hexbear's slur filter but it is on Lemmygrad's
[CW misogynistic slur]
Bit***s be crazy"Oh snap, I thought I just had to take a massive shit."
