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? |

snip 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 Wow. Wish I'd said that. But that's why feminism failed--the moos took it over, and it became all about middle class women getting poorer women to do all their ****work. You can't have a union of scabs. The men won't do the work, and so they dump all the **** on other women. The mammal mamma sort of sow really hates the idea that she is what she is, and must try to drag down all other women to her level. She doesn't mind if women are harmed, as long as she's harmed less. Breeders are beggars, and they have managed to go back to the idea that the only women who matter are those who breed. The breeders-uber-alles types all sound like Magda Goebbels, the UberSow of the Nazis, who was crazier than a bat on acid from postpartum psychosis. She denounced equity feminism, insisting that women have their sacred power from breeding . .. it was all about Family Values there, too. I say a woman should be judged on the content of her character, not the contents of her womb. In an overpopulated world, these womben should be seen as the absolute destroyers of civilization. It's a repeating pattern in history, women being forced, coerced, or bribed to overbreed, so the leaders have surplus population so they can have enough young males to go to war, and that leaves all the excess young females for the old men at home. But why bother learning history; it just repeats itself. |

If a woman has the ability to breastfeed, then do it, that's what is best for a baby. I couldn't breastfeed. I tried pretty hard and I couldn't do it. I do agree though, there is ridiculous pressure on both sides. I got a lot of **** for quitting breast feeding after trying for 5 weeks. |
