Facebook Doesn’t Like Pics of Breastfeeding Moms

Facebook has pissed off moms again, this time it’s the breastfeeding moms. Why? Because they don’t like our breasts, but it is okay for women that don’t have milk in their breasts to show off theirs. However, for those of us that do feed our children with our assets, we are not allowed to show pictures of them.
I decided to check out how much they were banning the “breasts” and let me tell you a quick search on facebook of “breasts” and you will come up with over 500 results. Many of which are “hot women” showing off their breasts. Chests got over 500 results and this got both hot women and hairy chested men. Muscles got the same response, top one being a cowboy wearing jeans, his cowboy hat and his button up shirt open baring his waxed/muscled chest. Bikini was another word I looked up that got the same amount of results. Even the word Breastfeeding got the same amount, the first few all informative sites about breastfeeding (great for new moms). But the word breastfeeding moms had only 152. Maybe they are cutting back on those ones. Oh and yes they are actually deleting accounts of those moms that showed their breastfeeding pictures. (I’ll update everyone on that)
One question: Is this right? Should breastfeeding moms be banned but that woman in a bikini be able to show off her pics? Lets not forget men showing their chest, whether they’ve got muscles, hair or no hair.
(Wouldn’t it be funny if breastfeeding pics started popping up all over Facebook?)
