I heard on the news a brief snipit that Facebook is not going to allow people to put up photos of women breastfeeding and of course, breastfeeding moms everywhere are all up in arms about the decision.
The last time I got involved in this debate ( on a moms forum no less ), I was also skinned alive by the lynch mob they were forming.
That however does not stop me from stating my opinion as is my right.
The moms first point is that it’s beautiful and natural. The counter point is that farting, puking, and sex are also natural.
The next point is that a womens breasts are for breastfeeding and not made for sexual reasons.
In my opinion, while it may be beautiful and natural to the parents does not mean it’s that way to everyone else. Moms say if you don’t like it you shouldn’t look. I say if you don’t want people to look you shouln’t be doing it in public. I don’t want to have to explain it to a four year old who’s never seen it before. I have the right to take a child to a mall and not have to expose him to something I feel he’s too young to understand.
I’ll also bet that most breasts spend more of their lifetimes engaged in sexual activities than breastfeeding. In this country anyway. Right or wrong that’s the truth of the matter.
