I meant I could get behind them using other aesthetics, not military, but were chosen with adults/parents in mind.
I also wondered about this, so I googled "diaper bag". Literally all the results just look like normal bags. They aren't covered in rainbows and butterflies. Just a random color + bag.
Fair enough. I was just thinking of the diaper bags a few of my friends have.
Plenty of diaper bags with sportsball branding and Comic Books for Adults aesthetics.
Of course, there's a lot of military advertising in both of these media circuits, so... shrug Any time you need to make your diaper bag look like something other than a diaper bag in order to feel secure, you've been cowed by The Patriarchy.
What if you want it to look like a diaper bag without being in baby pastels? Is that ok or just the patriarchy again?
I've seen a few in shades of matte gray and camel tan that work great. Very boring and gender neutral. No need to proclaim your sexuality when you're using them.
