An All Black in the firing line again

[mashman]

To be honest my excuse is that I wasn't breast fed as a child so it's probably the fathers's fault for wanting to be part of his family

I'm Oakie's (eldest, most mature) daughter & wanted to add my own puns to this enlightening conversation, before Oakie claims them as his own.....

First off, I was not surprised when Dad alerted me that this thread had turned into a pun-fest (admittedly rather amusing, and had me laughing quite loudly!) - and I was less surprised to see men TEAT it like it's a joke. And as Oakie posted a couple of posts ago, I believe the La Leche would be rather BRAssed off by a) this conversation and b) 'the whole Piri saga' in general. I also think that this is just the NIP of the iceberg....

I'm not sure which of those is my BREAST pun... some of them may need tweaking.........

Welcome ... I'm sure there are MANY on site, that wish to lend a hand in support. Some would probably want to use BOTH hands ...

Various mothers' perspectives from my daughters facebook group. The posting from she who complained about the advert it is in italics.

(me) everyone KNOWS that 'breast is best' - we get it shoved down our throats constantly,.......

Oh I'm sure many of the blokes on here would be giving their right nut for that!!

My kids were both different - one got boobies, the other got bottle. Just the way it had to work out.
It brasses me off when something that should be a positive message (dads involved with the holistic picture of bringing up their children) gets hijacked by an issue like this. I support La Leche League in their "breast is best" (if it is a totally doable option for the parents(s) - and it's NOT always an option for some). Absolute idiocy as far as I'm concerned that these bleating moaners can't give the general population credit for being able to use their own brain in terms of deciphering the message of the ad, and instead focussing on a narrow window of possible misinterpretation.

The Breastapo need to pull their farking heads in!!!

Trust you to want to get that off your chest...

Groups like La Leche League are a dime a dozen. They predominately discuss amongst themselves on the likes of Facebook, and reinforce, self propagate, and exclude each other as needed. The sharing of self righteousness.

You can look at the ladies discussing amongst themselves in the following link, however don't bother posting. From what I gather, their complaints about the advert (which was an anti smoking one right?) seemed to have drawn a lot of attention to them and they have put a blanket policy of deleting any posts not about promoting, discussing, or helping the cause of breast feeding.

It would seem to me a failure to promote interest and discussion of their cause, by blocking any discussion of their actions when they cause a stir up.

I got nothing against breastfeeding in public, or that advert.

I do have a problems with the mantra of some pro-breastfeeding rights hippies though. I have seen first hand a GP warn one of these La Leche League followers that if she continues breastfeeding her child (instead of promptly weening), there will be a number of psychological issues for the child; such as development of self, independence, etc. The GP was adamant the child was getting to old to be breast feeding still. True story.
