Breast Feeding “Baby Talk” Magazine Cover Sparks Controversy
I really wish people (Americans) would stop making such a big deal about the female breast. Especially as it relates to breast feeding an infant. Get over it people.
Come on, this is the twenty first friggin century, and you’re still all “ew” and “gross” over a picture of a mother’s breast feeding her infant? It is supposed to be a beautiful sight, not one that incites letters of disdain and disgust from – of all things – WOMEN!
Baby Talk is a free magazine that is popular amongst mothers and expectant mothers. This month’s cover picture features a close up of a baby on it’s mother’s breast – no nipple showing, mind you. In a poll done by the magazine to find out if this picture was acceptable, almost 1/4 of the “women” replied saying they felt it was inappropriate.
Inappropriate? Really – tell those same women thank you, that they are the reason breast feeding is still such a taboo in the US, and why women have to fight to be able to puclicly breast feed.
What a bunch of closed minded idiots. I’m sorry, this opinion may turn you off, and please by all means feel free to comment. I think we all need to get past boobies and get on with the real issues in life. Puhleease ladies, really!
