The hashtag #BoyMom is a very popular one, and statistics say that there are more than 14 million posts using the tag. It often shows cute babies or little boys doing some ‘boyish’ things, so the content seems absolutely harmless. However, some people argue that the use of the hashtag is questionable because it divides moms who raise boys from other moms and promotes the gender binary, thus reinforcing gender stereotypes.
