Cute title, but for shame, breastfeeding? Shouldn’t the moms be feeding thier children melamine laced powdered milk from China? Whats the big whoop, to me this is silly, breastfeeding is a natural, nonsexual part of life.

Isn’t this about pictures and not really against breastfeeding?

I agree, but why would anyone post a picture of themselves breast feeding? I mean, why the need to put that out on the net? I saw a lady at a high school basketball game breast feeding in the stands. All I'm asking for is a blanket, I don't need to see it.

I dare you, start a thread on public breastfeeding and then stand back.

It may be natural and nonsexual (to most normal, thinking human beings), but a thread on public breastfeeding is akin to the old crevo debates. More ire per word than about any other topic.

I will tell you this. Facebook has nuts that no other site has.
They tossed Jihadis when YouTube won’t.
And it’s Facebook’s place to make the call. Today it’s a woman breastfeeding, tomorrow it’s a woman holding a baby with her boobs hanging out with a caption “About to breastfeed”

All in all, just like FR, it’s their playground. If you want breastfeeding photos, get a Photobucket.

I love Facebook for standing firm on this.

“breastfeeding is a natural, nonsexual part of life.”

No, it isn’t. At least not all the time. Men’s sexual drive is tied directly to visual stimulation. Babies sucking on breasts are not the most enticing display of a woman’s body, but it is a woman’s body nontheless.

Pretending as if it is nonsexual for a second, so is pooping. Should Facebook have to present everything that is “natural”? No. It’s their decision, and the customers’/users’ decision whether or not to like it.
