Breast-feeding pic on cover sparks backlash against Baby Talk magazine
One mother who didn't like the cover explains she was concerned about her 13-year-old son seeing it. "I shredded it," said Gayle Ash, of Belton, Texas, in a telephone interview. "A breast is a breast, it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that." A 13 year old boy? I submit that not only did he NEED to see it, he probably has already seen a few in the flesh, Mom. |

I have a different take on this. The mother in Belton is looking at the moral telescope from the wrong end. If her son had grown up seeing mothers breastfeed their children in the first place, he (and she) would not be nearly so likely to view it as a sexual object. Her ill-advised action has numerous harmful consequences: * it discourages breastfeeding by discouraging public breastfeeding, * it encourage her son's view of the breast as a sexual object! * it discourages the comfort of skin-to-skin contact by a mother for her baby. * it so encourage the very moral viewpoint she seems to object to. She is so helping to create the very kind of problem she professes to trying to solve. Her end result is to encourage objectification and manipulation, and to discourage true loving kindness.

In Canada and some countires in Eurpoe now some movies that are rated 14+ have a couple of seens were a woman takes her top off and her bra with it. Loner |

Breast-feeding pic on cover sparks backlash against Baby Talk magazine
I so agree with you, Larry. I have 11 and 12 year old boys, both of
whom were breastfed, of course. They accept the sight of a breast bared for feeding a baby without a second thought. They don't feel any discomfort about it, and they have fond memories of nursing themselves. They will make enlightened and supportive husbands in the future because of it! Leslie |
