June 6th. This is probably the only thing I'll post today (though I am not adamant about the boycott, because I'm not likely to take my business elswhere. I'll make my various levels of annoyed felt in other ways).

I'm sorry I missed this at the time (I followed the Making Light link).

I'm sorrier it happened. The levels to which ideologues will go never fails to astound me. Heaven help the people who try to pull that shit on Maia should she have problems breastfeeding (and I mean that in the broadest sense of problems, if she can't make her schedule work and the option are the life we want/income to make everything else work out well, vs. breastfeeding, we'll use bottles).

Is breast feeding better? I think so. Is it essential, no, not at all.

Is not breastfeeding something to shun, mock, ridcule and abuse people for, no. Not at all. Not acceptable in the least.

On a tangiental note, you are right, there has to be a better way to promote it, one that doesn't need that sort of politically correct absolutism to prevent the sorts of idiocy LJ is doing right now. I'm croggled at both the idea that Maddonnas and Child are outlwed if the baby is feeding.

I'm even more croggled that lacktivists would say chimp milk is to be preferred to tailored formula (and where, the rational mind asks, are they going to get said milk, and who has checked to see it's adequate?)

I'm sorry Rivka, for all of it.
