Couldn't have put it better, I 100% agree. I think exposing your child to pedophiles for pats on the back and your own vanity is sickening.Ripley wrote:OK. i am one of the people you are referring to.

So what if she has her "tits out"? she is feeding her child. Part of the whole posting pictures of breast feeding online is in solidarity and to normalize it for everyone because clearly a woman breast feeding (which ever way she chooses at that time) is still a huge issue.
I'm curious how many of you see naked pictures of Kim Kardashian for example and don't bat an eye because sexualization of the female body is so normal but God forbid a woman breast feeds with her whole breast out and isn't classy or discreet about it.
I sure hope none of you ever go out in public showing any cleavage or anything. Nobody wants to see that except for perverts. Our bodies are sexual objects for men so we have to make sure we are covered up. Nevermind teaching our children otherwise. We should all just avoid having a conversation with them and keep instilling that breasts especially are sexual objects and feeding a baby with them should be done with class so we don't disturb or make anyone uncomfortable
I have NO problem with breasts being shown in public. I have breast fed in public and while i chose to use a cover, i believe women should be able to breast feed in public with or with out one. I have no problem seeing a woman breastfeed in public without a cover. Breastfeeding in public is not the same as showing photos on there internet. Here is why. If she were to go to let's say Central Park and is walking landon in the stroller, and he gets hungry, she would sit on a bench and feed him. People walk by, they may notice what she is doing. Some may be a bit uncomfortable, some not. Most just walk by a couple people at a time. If someone took a photo, they could be arrested. If they stood and gawked, she could make a police report. What J is doing though, is like sitting in the middle of the park, inviting people to come by the thousands to watch, take photos, send photos to their friends and their friends. It is like inviting all the pedophiles and drug addicts in the park to bring their cameras and watch. Oh, you want to keep the photo? Download it so you can look later and derive sexual pleasure from it? No problem! I know you are doing that, not a big deal!
Breast are erogenous zones. Look in any basic science book. Whein i finally looked at the photo and read some comments, there were about 300 shares. Some were shared by men with questionable intentions. Men use these images for sexual pleasure. To put it bluntly, there are boys, men who use images like that to masturbate. Jessica can show her breasts all she wants. In fact where i live, it is legal for women to go topless in public for whatever reason. But when it involves kids, she is making some foolish decisions. My question to you is, how is it ok for a person to post photos with their child's image knowing men are using them for sexual pleasure. This just shows her immaturity. "i'm gonna do whatever i want!". Just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean it is wise.
Malal22, you say people need to upload photos of breastfeeding to "normalise" it? Do you really think that agenda is worth the risk of perverts seeing these photos? I definitely don't.
Every woman in my family has breastfed or tried to, I am a huge supporter of it. But I think uploading photos like this onto social media sites to thousands of strangers is dangerous and stupid.
(I usually stay out of the usual boring breast feeding/circumcision/crunchy etc debates, but I just wanted to put my two cents in. That's all I'm gonna say on this subject)
