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.

It might be a tad crass, but where's the lie in the comparison? Remember the original argument (by Bette Midler, not me) was that a mother has something on her body that can provide nourishment for babies. She is solely looking at a body part and saying "you're equipped, you figure it out."
I'm sure, that as a reasonable person, you understand that women can't lactate on command, some mothers have a work-life situation that doesn't allow for breastfeeding or regular pumping, and even if circumstances demanded it, they can't magically switch to breastfeeding if they've been exclusively bottle feeding for three months.
The formula supply issue isn’t something that mothers created, they are victims of supply issues thst they couldn't predict when they are thinking about feeding their children. Just pointing to a woman's chest and saying "well, why aren't you using those things?" when stuck in a dire situation beyond her control is at least equally as crass.
