I don't like boobies on display!

Before I go off on my rant, I agree with the sentiments written in the above blog post (re: Facebook's retarded view of "sexualised").

Now, hear what I have to say about all of this rubbish.

I do not see it as necessary to post NAKED women up in a public forum -- a naked breast is a naked breast, no matter if a baby is feeding from them or if they are airbrushed and put into a pornographic magazine.

I just perused a site (www.tera.ca) which prides itself on fighting for the underdog (GOOD FOR YOU!!) and they have un/fortuantely listed photos that have been deleted by Facebook and criticised by other various entities.  I felt that half of those pictures WERE offensive simply because of a failure to cover up - not because they were feeding their babies/toddlers.  Others were models posing with babies - which is clearly highly inappropriate.

Having said that, I can understand some mummies are so proud to be feeding their little ones that they feel a need to show off their happy snaps.  That's cool.. I get that.  If those happy snaps are of your bare naked chest, one boob out and the other occupied by a wee one - NOT OK.  You are showing more than I or anyone else should be seeing.  I'm not offended - I just find it distasteful to be nude in public no matter what your reasons.

I don't think breast feeding is obscene.  I think it's wonderful.  I do, however, find it obscene to flash my boobs out in public, considering all the great new products you can buy (for cheap!!) that make discreet breast feeding very easy.  Try this site......

As for April, whose blog I was inspired by, I understand why you've posted your photo.  I also don't find it offensive simply because it's not of you half naked.  It's of you feeding, and I can see that this is an amazing moment for you.  I think it's a personal moment for you and your family, but I am certainly not offended by you posting it.

For the record, I breastfed, and I will again.

I think it's best if I clarify one more time.... I don't DISAGREE with those who take issue with Facebook deleting breast feeding pictures - I just feel there are very important factors they fail to recognise here.

That is all.
