Women view swaying negatively?

[The Anchor]

I personally have never talked about swaying to anyone IRL...even DH! If someone mentions to ME that they are looking for ways to "sway the odds" then I will certainly gently direct to this site. I did sway for my boy TW style and got him, and I believe I was unknowingly swaying for my girl. The only catch with the unknowing swaying is that it is possible if you're using the GD swaying methods of LE or HE. But there's practically no way you could unknowingly sway on say, IG methods, which always seemed ultra aggressive if you ask me (which is why I ended up swaying TW with Atomic back in her last days on IG).

Nobody knows I'm swaying either, I just don't want to hear the judgment. I did talk about it once to an online group of friends because they were saying how dumb it is that some people think that anything they do can actually sway one way or another. They thought I was a bit nuts, but oh well.

I have noticed from A LOT of women (especially the ones with both genders of children) are really judgmental or dare I say bitchy when you talk about gender swaying. If I kind of bring it up in conversation or someone else mentions it they seem to all have the same response "It is completely up to the man. That is just ridiculous!" And I always get a little irritated thinking to myself "Well obviously you would think that. You got one of each you little snot." It is almost as if the thought of swaying offends them in some way. I don't get it. What do they care if I want to beef myself up and have copious amounts of sex with my husband to try and get a boy? Or the famous "God gives you what you are meant to have." While I totally believe that why couldn't you believe that he lead me to this wonderful website (which by the way is how I feel) to help me sway my odds? I guess I am just venting right now. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about this in person except my friends that only have one child. Because the few that I have that have more than one have one of each gender and just could give two sh*** about giving you any tips because they think it's absolutely crazy and they just hit the jackpot with their husbands perfectly 50/50 testicles. And this makes me even more grateful for this site because it is full of women who are open minded, support each other, and give each other advice. We all want the same for every woman on this site and that is to get their DG along with a healthy baby and pregnancy. So I am just wondering does anyone else experience this type of negative reaction when they speak to women about this in person? Any ideas as to why this topic seems to be so .. offensive? I just don't get it.

Oh Prince! I think we could sooooo be friends in "real life". You're a hoot and I feel the same way! The only person I can talk to is my sister who wants me to have a boy just as much as I do. Even my SO, who is totally supportive says "maybe it's just out of your hands....you get what you get." I tend to be a little crazy though and obsess and think I can make a difference.
So, I get it and I hope all works out.
I have to tell you though....in each of our kid's rooms we have chosen a scripture verse and framed it. Every time I see your profile and the verse at the bottom I smile. If we are blessed with a boy, that will be the chosen verse for his room. Of course, I have wonderful others if God has other plans!

Yes! I feel like people think I am some sort of jerk for wanting a specific gender. Of course I want a healthy baby over all but I desperately want a son. I don't understand why that is so hard for most people to grasp. It doesn't make me a bad person. I have always felt in my heart that if I don't ever have a son I will always feel like something is missing. And I don't want to have that feeling and always wonder if there was something that I could have maybe tried to make that happen.

I think that ladies who want sons get this 10 zillion times worse than those of us who are swaying pink. Huge ((((hugs)))) I also wanted a son desperately with my first and luckily got him. Hearing "it's a boy" in the delivery room was so amazing. My heart goes out to anyone who has a strong gender pref. from their first child.

The way I have tried to explain it to the people who were not supportive is that it's like hitting your thumb with a hammer - is it lifethreatening, no, but it still hurts like hell and no one would ever tell you "Oh for Pete's sake, why are you making such a fuss, you know there are people who have no arms and here you are in agony because you smashed your thumb with a hammer". Everyone understands and expects that hitting your thumb is going to hurt and I personally think that deep down everyone understands and expects that not getting the gender you want, while in the grand scheme of things we all acknowledge it's not like having cancer or something, it still hurts. A paper cut can sting terribly even tho it's just a tiny thing.

My best friend knows I'm swaying and my friend who swayed for her daughter.
I'd never tell my sister, because she's pregnant with a girl. So if I have a boy I'll always feel made to be lesser.
When I had my gender scan with my second everyone said "Oh" with a disappointed look on their face. Seriously I want a girl, but boys are great and so downgraded. Girls are on everyone's it list it seems and they think anything but a girl is sub par. IT DRIVES ME INSANE.
No one I know but me and my two friends believe swaying will work or is real or scientific so so long to them.
