Default The feminist view of breastfeeding

I have seen several situations were mothers were made to feel
uncomfortable because they chose not to breast feed. I have also
encountered similar situations on the opposing side. I have to confess
that the advertising has laid the breastfeeding concepts on preety
thick latley. But that is media for you they are always distorting
things. Hey if someone feels the way that you do about Breastfeeding
then they should not breast feed, it would not be beneficial
emmotionally, and mentally. Which would inevitably negate the other
phisycal benefits.

Breast feeding allows the woman to nurse where ever whenever with no
bottles, formula, and less $ to worry about.......so why is that an
excuse to not work.


Woman are different from men. We have different gender roles to
fullfill that compliment each other. The feminist movment in the 20th
century was for womans rights not for denying your gender role. The
movement was so that we Woman would be treated as equals. That means
that woman no matter what age or activities they participate in should
be allowed the same rights as men.

In a healthy relationship the responsibilities are shared.
Breastfeeding should not excuse a father from responsibilites nor does
it limit the independance of the mother.Obviously if the mother decided
to walk away from her responsibilty to feed the child it would cause
detremental health issues but would it not then be the Fathers job to
step in and feed.

Breast feeding has many benefits, and you should cease the oppurtunity
when you have the chance. Look at it optimistically if you do not want
to then you can always feed formula. No one is denying your right to do
so. And now there are affordable pumps that are availible (or you can
do it by hand) so there is no excuse to ostercize yourself.

When I was breastfeeding my first I worked more then one job and went
to school fulltime. I had to give my child pumped milk a few times a
day but I was able to nurse her alot as well. Oh yeah I breastfed in
public to so kiss my ASS. and I am not ugly or fat., jerk. the nerve.

When it comes to feminism it is knowen that radical feminist would
desex all humans giving hysterectomies and visectomies. Give me a break
those people will be miserable forever if they do not learn how to
embrace their selves for who they are as individuals. Which would deny
them the ability to bare children as well. All births would be in
virtro test tube.....Lol. It is just funny how people always think that
they can improve things that are so perfect. It ends up being just an
ugly mess in the end.

Hey heres an idea why do we all not become communist clones?
