When I was a kid, in the 80s, it was possible for women to publicly complain about breastfeeding, even say they didn't want to do it Breastfeeding vs formula was a "cost/benefit analysis" that was openly discussed Now you can't breathe a word of that without public shaming

And you think that's "feminism"? You think that's progress? Fuck's sake what are you gonna get on Cohen's ass for next, yelling at him about messing up his child by having both parents work and saying a woman would be happy to stay at home?

You're very ignorant and you don't care about women and children. Breastfeeding has important mother-child and independent benefits for all involved. It's also a difficult full time job for new mothers, and many pump. The debate over it isn't "formula vs breastmilk".

The debate is over ignorant asses who know none of this, care about none of it, yet insert themselves into the conversation, arrogantly, recklessly, to demand that they can rent a woman's womb and violate what's best for both mom and baby for purely egotistical reasons.

Like if somebody was getting a surrogate to have a younger sibling in the hopes of curing an older sibling's bone cancer, sure. Lots wouldn't oppose surrogacy in that situation. If the mother was killed in a car accident, or under an oppressive regime that doesn't recognize +

maternity leave as a basic human healthcare right and necessity, bring on the formula. But to put this kind of a situation on your own offspring so you can have your "own" child and not adopt? What the fuck, this is not okay.

I would like to thank you for doing us the great service of finally giving us clear guidelines of who, specifically, is or is not allowed to forgo breastfeeding in favor of formula

She actually literally just said that She's only grudgingly willing to allow Americans to bottle feed because we don't have decent mandatory mat-leave policies Presumably if it were a British woman, or an American whose company does give her the leave, she'd say exactly that

I am repeatedly appalled by how little you care about women and children. This tweet makes you sound like a monster who doesn't give a shit about the fact that women and children are subjected to cruelty by the complete absence of paid maternity leave in the US. Gross.

Yes, I'm aware you think there is only one possible choice any real woman would ever make, any woman who'd choose differently must be coerced, and this is how you square "feminism" with lecturing other women on what they must or must not do in their personal lives I'm familiar
