Peak Stupidity, Apple Releases Pregnant Man Emoji in New Update

The war on gender, and specifically women, continues to rage on.

Apple just announced that in their latest update, they will include a “pregnant man” and a “pregnant person” emoji.

Of course, because anyone can get pregnant…

Apple is hoping to provide better representation for “trans women” and “non-binary” people.

Emojipedia’s ‘senior emoji lexicographer’ even references the 1994 film, “Junior,” in which actor Arnold Schwarzenegger gets pregnant.

This is the latest reason why other countries are laughing at the United States…

Fox News has the latest on the war against gender:

A “pregnant man” emoji and “pregnant person” emoji are coming to Apple iPhones with its latest update, iOS 15.4 sparking controversy.

The pregnant emoji aren’t new for some, since they arrived as part of an update that emoji-encyclopedia Emojipedia announced in September 2021. However, Apple’s version of the emoji were released Thursday as part of iOS 15.4 beta — a voluntary system update iPhone users can choose to install.

The update will come to all iPhone users later this year.

A blog written by Emojipedia’s ‘senior emoji lexicographer,’ Jane Solomon, hilariously references the fictional Arnold Schwarzenegger film “Junior,” as proof that men can get pregnant.

Here’s more on that blog from Daily Mail:

Following some controversy in September when version 14.0 emoji candidates were officially signed off, Jane Solomon, Emojipedia’s ‘senior emoji lexicographer’, authored a blog post entitled ‘Why is there a pregnant man emoji?’

This is Emojipedia’s own versions of the emoji that make up ‘version 14.0’, revealed in July 2021 and officially approved in September. Note the original versions of Pregnant Man (centre, wearing red) and Pregnant Man, which Apple has changed for its own operating system

‘The new pregnancy options may be used for representation by trans men, non-binary people, or women with short hair – though, of course, use of these emojis is not limited to these groups,’ she said.

‘Men can be pregnant. This applies to the real world (e.g., trans men) and to fictional universes (e.g., Arnold Schwarzenegger in [1994 film] “Junior”.

‘People of any gender can be pregnant too. Now there are emojis to represent this.’

This is what peak stupidity look like…

Thankfully, here are sane people reacting:

The same people who like Apple’s pregnant man emoji are worried about “misinformation.” We are seeing the craziest redefining of the truth. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but men can’t have babies.

Apple is rolling out a pregnant man emoji – but Joe Rogan is labeled anti-science misinformation for allowing doctors to speak.

Apple released an emoji of a pregnant man. We have to stand up and denounce this. What happened to follow the science? This is being introduced to kids? It’s unacceptable! pic.twitter.com/f2SC16mCQZ

I await the pregnant male emoji being hijacked by beer and barbecue culture.

Donald Trump Jr.’s reaction was particularly funny:

I believe we found the root cause of and model for the pregnant man emoji. You guessed it folks CNN’s Brian Stelter. pic.twitter.com/T3daOvsQKr

Tucker Carlson as usual had the best take:

In the real world, men can very easily get pregnant if they don’t take proper precautions. Watch out, guys. It could happen to you. Apple’s new iPhone update includes a reminder of this: a pregnant man emoji. pic.twitter.com/2oyl8BW1aZ
