Posted on entry LiveJournal's attack on women and mothers ::: June 01, 2006, 10:19 AM:
I am an MD, and a strong believer in the value of breastfeeding and a strong supporter of breastfeeding in general. I nursed all three of my kids (two were twins) until they were well over a year old, and never had to flash in public. I learned to use a blanket at home, and nursed my kids everywhere, in church, in the mall, everywhere, without flashing a boob. It's not that hard.

Hate to be the stick in the mud, but it's their site, and if they don't want nudity, and your icon flashes the boob, they have a right to ask you not to use it. You don't like it, go somewhere else.

I think making this about breastfeeding gives the impression that women have to be exhibitionists to breastfeed their children, which isn't true.
