A friend of mine from high school, a truly sweet woman, just gave birth to a baby girl yesterday. She posted something today about how breast-feeding is getting easier and mentioning the overwhelming love she has for the wee one.
I commented on the post, because of course I advocate for breast-feeding and try to be supportive but realistic--I mentioned in my first comment that I had some troubles nursing 2 out of 3 kids, but it gets much easier once you leave the hospital.
Come back later on to find this (this is just a small portion--while I have no qualms about identifying the stupid person, I'm not wanting to get the actual friend into anything):
Heaven forbid impressionable young children should be confronted with breasts meeting one of their several pre-approved uses (one of the non-sexual ones, even). It might interfere with their spelling lesson.

I have no problem with breastfeeding or with the occasional boob displayed in public. But I do despise the breastfeeding Nazis, a.k.a. La Leche League.
They made my wife feel inferior because she could not produce enough milk to feed our baby, and I have never forgiven them.
P.S.: Good comment on the spelling, though! :-D
If you think she's snarky here, Albatross, you should see and hear all the stuff that *doesn't* get posted. I am a lucky, lucky man. ;-)
Well our nation's children have still not recovered from the nightmare that was "Super Bowl Boob 2004" so I guess breastfeeding is scary too.
Ironically those are probably the same people who don't mind their children seeing boobies on TV or out in public nearly falling out of a blouse! Good golly, I am pretty certain I bared less chest while nursing my two children than most girls do on a daily basis with their normal clothing!
