people trying to breastfeed their children: i just wanna feed my child
assholes: well i have a penis and i can’t ejactulate onto the floor so
people trying to breastfeed their children: what does that have to do with anything
assholes: equality
*women but yeah.
Hey OP…..
Sex neutral language is dangerous.
Not everything is gender neutral by nature and to implement laws to enforce this ideology only serves to obscure womens rights and posit that “acknowledging distinctions is sexist and so is pointing out social, cultural and power imbalances between men and women”.

“My own experience inspired me to spread the word and encourage other mothers, as well as non-mothers, to see breastfeeding the way it’s supposed to be seen.”
Women should NOT be forced to feed their babies in a bathroom, all because we live in a misogynistic, porn-warped society that’s been brainwashed to believe that female breasts used for anything other than male pleasure is “indecent.” Support public breast feeding and end the porn culture.
No. I’m eating. I don’t wanna see you hang out your goddamn tits while I have food. My kids don’t wanna see it. It’s not some misogynistic ideal, it’s fucking public indecency. Can I take my cock out under the table and feed my wife/girlfriend? No? Fuck you.
I genuinely cannot believe that you just compared a blowjob to breastfeeding oh my fucking god.
Getting a blowjob is a sexual thing and it also does not ‘feed’ anyone whereas breastfeeding is literally not even a sexual thing a baby is having food that they need to live like it’s nowhere near on the same level as getting a blowjob omg.
If you are uncomfortable seeing a woman breastfeeding then that is your problem because you have oversexualised breasts so much that you can’t even stand seeing them being used for their actual purpose and also you’re an idiot.
Go eat your dinner in a public bathroom, you trash bag.
End skeevy dudes who compare whipping out their dick in public to breast feeding 2k15.
DO YOU FEED YOUR CHILDREN SEMEN? SHOVE A TRASH CAN UP YOUR ASS!
Pediatric anthropology student here.
1. Breasts as sexual fetishes is a (largely Western) cultural construction. Yes, it’s a fetish—anything you are sexually attracted to that is not the genitals of an adult is a fetish, or paraphilia. My professors have met non-Westerners who think our men are “like babies” because they are attracted to breasts.
Breasts ≠ genitals. Scientifically, they are considered secondary sexual characteristics—same category as facial hair. They can be sexual in a sexual context, just as necks and feet can be. But their primary purpose is reproductive.
2. Breast milk is not a “bodily fluid.” It is FOOD.
It is not categorized by the CDC as a biohazard, and so you don’t need to freak out if your coworker wants to store her milk right next to your Lunchables.
Breastmilk is not just protein and vitamins. It is a living, dynamic substance that BUILDS HUMANS.
There is a lab at the University of Washington St. Louis, where they have written all of the ingredients of human milk on the wall – They have run out of room on that wall. Among those ingredients:
The exact ratio of protein-sugars-fats that human infants need (cow’s milk doesn’t even come close)
Antibodies to pathogens in the baby’s environment (synthesized by the mother within hours of coming into contact with a given pathogen) and other immune factors
Probably other awesome shit we don’t even know about yet because we’ve barely scratched the surface of this research!
These ingredients change hour-to-hour according to the baby’s needs. It will even add more water on hot/dry days. Fuck, breastmilk kills cancer in a petri dish.
Breast milk. Is. Not. A. Bodily. Fluid. It. Is. Liquid. Gold.
3. When you tell a woman to go to the bathroom to breastfeed, you are perpetuating the notion that it is dirty and shameful and needs to be hidden away. This idea is the biggest barrier to achieving breastfeeding goals in the United States. Because women feel ashamed, they often stay isolated at home when they should be spending time out and about with friends and family and having, like, a life. This isolation can contribute to postpartum depression.
Women may find themselves excluded from social interactions when they are breastfeeding because others are reluctant to be in the same room while they breastfeed. For many women, the feeling of embarrassment restricts their activities and is cited as a reason for choosing to feed supplementary formula or to give up breastfeeding altogether.
And since we have this culture of shame and privacy surrounding breastfeeding, young girls and women don’t see it enough to learn what is normal/not and how to do it, so they often give up when they run into problems because they don’t realize there’s an easy fix.
Moreover, an infant needs to be integrated into society in order to develop properly. They need to see faces and hear voices. Isolating them—or throwing a blanket over their head—takes this important component of their development away. It also often annoys them because they are understimulated.
4.) YOU NEED TO SEE IT. That’s right, YOU. Even if you are a dude. Maybe you aren’t a parent, but you probably have loved ones who are. Or you might become one yourself someday. And if you are American chances are you have no idea how breastfeeding actually works, because you never fucking see it. It’s messy and complicated, and hard. It used to be a part of everyday life, because there weren’t any alternatives So we learned how to do it by being around it all the time, NBD. The whole sexualization/modesty thing surrounding breasts wasn’t a thing until like the mid-20th century. Check out this 1871 drawing of a woman breastfeeding IN FUCKING CHURCH:
She’s covered head to toe, in accordance with modesty standards of the time—except for her breast, about which the people around her give zero fucks.
More from the Surgeon General:
In American culture, breasts have often been regarded primarily as sexual objects, while their nurturing function has been downplayed. Although focusing on the sexuality of female breasts is common in the mass media, visual images of breastfeeding are rare, and a mother may never have seen a woman breastfeeding.
Mothers need to see it. Future mothers need to see it. Future fathers need to see it. Family members need to see it. Everybody needs to see it. SO THEY FUCKING GET USED TO IT.
So, no, I’m not gonna go to the bathroom to feed my kid. If you don’t want to see it, then DON’T. FUCKING. LOOK.
I cannot believe that hospitals are implementing a new policy that forces women to breastfeed? They won’t take the babies to a nursery anymore so the woman can get the only rest she’s gonna have for the next two years? Why aren’t liberal feminist screaming at the tip…
Before I start I am not the expert on childbirth or mothering so I am not the best person to ask.
The hospital should not force mothers to breastfeed. You are right that mothers need rest after labour. The mother should have time to bond with her baby but you can’t just put the baby on the exhausted mother, if she is too tired to breastfeed the experience will not be pleasant. There are many legitimate reasons why a mother would not want to breast feed. People should not try to make her breast feed if she doesn’t want to or can’t.
Does anybody have anything else to say about this?
“Not only can mammary glands produce milk to feed babies, they can remember if they’ve done it before, according to new research in mice. The findings support anecdotal evidence from human mums that suggested breast milk production is more vigorous with a second baby than with the first. Indeed, mammary glands of mice that had previously been pregnant and raised young (bottom row) responded faster and more robustly to pregnancy hormone treatment – producing a greater density of branching lactation ducts – than did mice that had never been pregnant (top row).
It turns out that pregnancy and breastfeeding result in the chemical tweaking – or epigenetic modification – of DNA within mammary gland cells. This modification, in essence, primes the lactation genes for reactivation by a subsequent pregnancy. Exactly how a physiological experience leads to epigenetic memory in cells is mysterious, but it‘s also unlikely to be unique to pregnancy.”
