New Age Baby Shower

I went to a baby shower yesterday. The husbands/partners of some of the women stayed for the whole party and the husband of one girl played "host/MC." I had a fun time but I thought it was very odd the men stayed.

The host was handing out "endive cups with blue cheese and dried cherries" (which were delish!) but when one of the other men asked him if that was the recipe from "Alive" magazine I had to shake my head - if they hadn't attended with their wives I'd have sworn they were gay.

I LIKE the separation of the sexes. I like being in the kitchen with my sisters-in-law doing the dishes while the "boys" are outside having a drink and shooting the breeze! What has happened to our society??? I am all for equal partnership but that shower was going too far.
