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".

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

Hopefully the government will put you in charge of forming some sort of tribunal so that we can evaluate individual cases of women bottle-feeding their babies to determine whether or not they had a "good reason" and bring the ones who don't to justice Blessed be the fruit

Wait, are we gonna just skate past the fact that she thinks it's fine to have a kid as spare parts for an existing kid?

That's not how bone cancer works. I can tell you're not on a bone marrow registry.

I am on a bone marrow registry I know how it works I am neutral on the topic of whether it's ethical to conceive a child for this reason - I think it's no more or less ethical than having a kid for any other reason

The idea that it actively is ethical and just wanting biological kids for any other reason is not, though Hoo boy Oh man
