I have to admit I keep saying the same thing every time I read an article about the baby formula shortage. “You have breasts!” Like, what did mothers do before baby formula was invented? Let their babies starve?

By the same logic, there's no way a single woman should ever come up short on her rent because she still has something between her legs that can earn her money and it's her fault she's not using it if she needs to make ends meet.

The whole breastfeeding argument is bitterly divisive, most so among mothers who wanted to be breastfeeders but for one reason or another couldn't do it. It's a very toxic world and it gets fed regularly with new mothers who are at the height of emotion and sensitivity to judgement. Best we stay out of that entirely and figure out how to get the dang formula to the babies.

That has got to possibly be the worst argument I have ever seen comparing something to breastfeeding.

I don’t know how you weren’t ashamed to post that.
