35. "i nursed my kids two years each"

Edited on Sat Aug-05-06 12:27 PM by pitohui
that, my friends, is the future the breast-feeders want for all women

that is the future my mother, and a million other feminists, of the
20th century struggled so hard to fight against

woman a slave to baby for years at a time, it's sad and it forever
truncates the woman's future

if the formulas aren't good enough, then by god, invent better formulas
but what is the point of technology if woman must be a slave forever?

the hole in woman's earning ability and future created by spending
years w. a kid attached to her boob is a hole that can never be
overcome

and that's fine for fundies and, let's face it, the lazy women who grab
at any excuse not to work and just to get a free ride

but it is NOT fine for women who want to be free, independent, and to
have a shot at a future where they can get a decent earn

jesus, pitohui can't be the only woman here who actually wishes that
younger women could have choices and futures

our own mothers wanted better for us than a baby hanging off our tit
for two entire years! christ! shoot me now

their self righteousness

Edited on Sun Jul-30-06 07:15 PM by pitohui
oh and their anti-feminist desire to make sure that it's the woman who
is prisoner of baby for the man can't feed baby with HIS tit

do not be fooled, the whole breast feeding moment is very much
anti-woman and about making woman again into the n-word of the word, as
mr. lennon put it

you can't be pro-freedom, pro-technolgy, AND pro breast feeding, being
the slave of screaming squawling infant is not about modernity

34. their desire to return women to the kitchen and to slavery

obviously if "breast is best" then men are excused from caring for the
infant and women are the ones faced w. the huge gaping hole in their
career which is almost never overcome

the woman can never have a chance at equal earning ability unless she
has some famous last name or influential man

it isn't just baby sucking at the tit, it forces the mother to become a
dependent as well

breast is not best, it is slavery, ask my mom, hell, ask any sane mom

the mothers who are into all this breast-feeding are not just
anti-woman and anti-feminist -- they want to take ALL women's freedom,
they are not happy just being slaves themselves, they preach and are
in-your-face abt wanting women to be slaves to baby forever

a bare breast does not offend me but the "breast is best" movement
cleverly designed by fundies and luddites to make woman's life a prison
forever -- hell, yes, that offends me and it should offend every woman
who wants her daughter to have a future

38. the progressive women i've known well used bottles

i guess it's my age showing but progressive woman once welcomed science
and technology, they didn't go screaming from it

sure some unattractive "earth mothers" in the 60s breast fed but to
call them "progressive" because they were "hippies" is just silly,
since their ideals are anything but progressive -- their only concern
seemed to be a neurosis about food -- women who spend all their time
being mammals ain't going anywhere in this life or doing anything to
help uplift other women

Freedom of choice is a bitch when other
people make the "wrong" choices for themselves....
