    Society says that tea parties are feminine.

    I’m trying to imagine how society would say to Discord the Spirit of Chaos that his tea parties with Fluttetshy are girly. And what he will do to such society

      Discord the Spirit of Chaos … fluttershy

      Hey now you’re speaking my language.

      But, I mean, it’s not untrue, right? Whether it’s right, or inherent, or what, tea parties are girly. That doesn’t mean that men can’t participate at all, or that if they do it means they’re girls.

      I would also argue that discord is more interested in spending time with fluttershy rather than the tea party itself. So I’m not sure how much we should take about gender roles from that.

        It’s glaringly obvious he is into Fluttershy, there is nothing to argue about.

        Whether it’s right, or inherent, or what, tea parties are girly.

        I don’t think so. I remember in kindergarden playing pretending tea party few times.

        And where I live 40 years ago(based on what older generation says) all politics was discussed on kitchens, so invite into tea party could also be invite to chat about politics.

          Not sure how this is an argument for whether tea parties are girly or not. I never said only girls do it. But in general tea parties are a girly thing. And like I posted in another comment, whether that’s 100% because of societal imposed gender norms doesn’t really matter that much since we live in that society
