Open Thread – Topic Breastfeeding

March 14, 2007 by gayla  
Filed under Parenting

With the most recent episode of Supernanny in mind and the debate that’s continuing in the blogosphere on this very topic, I’ve put together a poll in the right column and hope you’ll take the time to respond.

Further, I’d like to open this thread to comments – inviting both sides to participate.

Before we begin, I’d like to point out that my stand is this:

In a world that is so twisted that a man will use an infant from his wife’s home-based day care in a sexually explicit Internet broadcast – I simply think that breastfeeding is a special connection that should be private and not place the child at risk of becoming someone’s twisted form of entertainment.

Whether it’s a perversion toward the child or toward the exposed breast, there’s just too much “exposure” going on for me to find comfort in supporting open and public breastfeeding.

    You are aware that breastfeeding in public is protected by law? So I’m sorry (okay, I’m not) that you can’t be comfortable with public breastfeeding, but the federal government is, and the states are, and they are working to protect breastfeeding mothers from people like you.

    Honestly, what do you expect? Breastfeeding mothers to never leave the house? Or that moms should pump their milk and use bottles whenever they’re in public (ignoring the realities that a lot of babies won’t take bottles, a lot of moms don’t get much from a pump, and that it’s infinitely more work that way)? Either way, you are showing quite a bit of ignorance with your statements.

    I am a breastfeeding peer counselor and it is my job to get pregnant mother to breastfeed thier babies. I tell all my moms and future moms that there is no problem breastfeeding in public, I have embarrassment and the public working against me, and now this show. I “used to” watch the show and got a lot of tips but if she came into my house and told me to stop nursing my 15 month old, she might just get an earfull.
    …and furthermore, if you know the right way to nurse your baby in public people can’t even tell!

    What about the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, letting Iran invade and lose resources fighting their own kind,
    and then come in and mop up the dregs?

  9. To put it quite simply and non-mechanical, blackheads are little bumps embedded into the pores of our skin. They are usually yellowish or blackish in color.
    Blackheads are a type of acne called an open comedone. According to medical practitioners,
    blackhead pop are the first stage of acne!!!
    You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no sign of infection on or surrounding the blemish.

    Предприятие специализируется на продаже строительных материалов, инструментов и оборудо­вания кровельного
    направления.
    Основная часть продаж – это кровельные металлы, а среди них лидирует непревзойденная медь (листо­вая и рулонная).
    Кроме классической красной меди, в последнее время появилась в ассортименте окислен­ная коричневая, и патинированная
    медь благородно­го зеленоватого цвета.
    На медных кровлях и все комплектующие должны быть медными, иначе возникают опасные электрохи­мические процессы,
    снижающие надежность кровли. Поэтому у нас Вы найдете все необходимое: от мед­ных гвоздей и заклепок, до деталей
    водосточной си­стемы; от элементов молниезащиты, до окладов мансардных окон. Для вентиляционных решеток можно
    приобрести разнообразные медные сетки.
    Кровельный цинк, алюминий и сталь также ши­роко представлены в нашем ассортименте. Цинк, как и медь, поставляется
    классическим, окисленным и патинированным, напоминающим цвет старинно­го серебра.
    Алюминий и сталь популярны благодаря широкой гамме цветов и покрытий.
    Кроме кровельных металлов, мы предлагаем Вам группу сопутствующих материалов:
    • подкровельные пленки;
    • теплоизоляцию;
    •элементы водосточных систем из металла и пласт­массы;
    • устройства для вентиляции кровли;
    • мансардные окна;
    • кровельный крепеж.

    All of us at communicating on the Internet use smilies. Sometimes it is the most usual brackets, and sometimes big animated smiley, in accuracy reproducing our emotions.

    But it happens that the necessary smilie is not present.
    Certainly, it is possible to get out any another, but that that is to be shown – to show has failed.

    And so, that such problems would not be I offer you the huge catalogue of smilies broken on categories and convenient in use.

  22. Does Porn Cause Rape?
    0 Comments

    The short answer is I don’t know. Correlation between rape and porn is slight … and negative, suggesting otherwise. But slight either way.
    Can it? Is it important? Does it matter? Is it what’s really going on? In what sense?
    Well, think about it. Males’ main motivation to prevent rape is not really to protect women’s freedom. Their main motivation is to prevent women from falling to other males.
    So if porn, for example, do not motivate males to rape women but motivate them to make a lot of money and actively pursue girls, will that satisfy anti porn males. No. They will still call it something negative like rape. When Japanese men hire Chinese prostitute in orgy, poorer Chinese simply declare that it’s “rape” even though the prostitute are paid. The Chinese government put the prostitute in jail. We can check here for more info.
    Now, in Arab countries, porn causing rape is used as justification to prohibit porn rather than punishing rapists. It’s not hard to understand. People rape for 2 main reasons. They’re not sexually competitive and they’re militant. That kind of demographic is what controls Arab’s politic. In other word, any politician that want to go up must please that demographic.
    Okay, is Arab evil?
    Well, evil is relative. Relative to what? In no country in the world I see women are completely and sexually free. If they were free, only alpha males get laid and no countries have the majority of the males’ population take it as a man. The closest I know of is in England, where 50% of the guys don’t have girlfriend.

    Even then, I bet in British child support laws are designed to be proportional to a man’s financial capability and hence forcing women to “sale” their reproductive service at higher price to richest males. That’s probably not the kind of pricing schemes most women prefer.
