Yet another in a long line of articles that denies via omission the existence of any European culture prior to the Victorian era, and entirely ignores eastern Europe and Slavic people.<p>It should be plainly obvious that mothers needed to carry their babies in Europe just as anywhere else, and that they probably didn&#x27;t use baby strollers since the paleolithic. A <i>quick</i> search confirms this:<p><i>Such a tradition of babywearing in Europe continued through the early and middle ages [..] In 1733, William Kent invented the first baby stroller. The stroller was initially reserved only for the highest social strata</i> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;love2carry.com&#x2F;history-of-babywearing-in-europe-%E2%9D%A4&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;love2carry.com&#x2F;history-of-babywearing-in-europe-%E2%...</a><p><i>But the use of carriers in Western societies fell out of style beginning in Victorian-era Europe when baby carriages became fashionable.</i> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sapiens.org&#x2F;culture&#x2F;babywearing-culture-mainstream&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sapiens.org&#x2F;culture&#x2F;babywearing-culture-mainstre...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thebabyhistorian.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;27&#x2F;medieval-babywearing-european-infant-carriers&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thebabyhistorian.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;27&#x2F;medieval-babywearing...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20121114155357&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;celticbabycarrying.blogspot.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20121114155357&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;celticbaby...</a> and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20140531182023&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nosenideti.cz&#x2F;foto.php?volba=zobrazit_foto&amp;skupina_id=3&amp;foto_id=135&amp;tridit=datum#obrazek" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20140531182023&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.noseni...</a> - photographic evidence of traditional babywearing in Wales and eastern Europe

Reads like a parody of wokeness, complete with all the jargon: &quot;colonized,&quot; &quot;racialized,&quot; &quot;BIPOC,&quot; etc. China has over a billion people; in what world is it a &quot;minority culture&quot;?
