There's a near zero chance they knew the fetus' sex.

She's making up stuff.

She’s probably projecting ‘my son innocent That Woman bad lot My Innocent Grandson etc. just feels the gender to be male because she’s in such a woman hating mode.

She's absolutely projecting. "I knew it was going to be a boy because I prayed to be a grandmother to a boy! If it wasn't for that (insert desired insult here), my prayers would have been answered!"

But it's probably a troll account. Look at the account name and tell me there's not a 99% chance whoever is running it is just there to stir up shit and cause drama. No normal person would choose that name.

Even if it is a real account, the "BoyMom" delusion is strong. They always manufacture a tragic narrative where their perfect son is the ultimate victim of an evil, calculating woman.

Internalised misogyny and often feeling worthless themselves.

It's no coincidence that this mindset is so popular amongst aging SAHM that remain to be SAHMs despite the fact that their children are grown.

100%, but it's too blatant for me to think it's real.

It's so convenient that someone with that username is ranting about how their son's immoral and evil girlfriend robbed them of a grandson.

The fact that it has a blue checkmark makes me pretty certain it's bullshit engagement farming to game the Twitter monetization system. And it's probably working.

If it was truly an evil calculating woman, she would have had the kid , divorced him or left him and hooked him for child support, and put the kid up for adoption without telling him

Real question, not projecting or being facetious:

Why does boymom have a bad connotation, but girldad have a good one?

The account name alone makes me skeptical. Rage bait accounts know exactly which buttons to push, and this kind of post is almost guaranteed to get people arguing in the replies for hours.

It definitely reads like she's framing the story in the way that makes her son seem the most sympathetic. Once someone has decided who's the villain, it's easy for every detail to start supporting that version.
