Military mom ‘proud’ of breast-feeding in uniform, despite criticism
National pride, or disgrace? A photo gone viral of two servicewomen breast-feeding their children while in uniform has added a new layer to the debate over nursing in public.

If you think this is a “disgrace”, just quit following me now.

man i have so many words about how stupid all this backlash is and i’m so infuriated but i think (i hope) you all can just UNDERSTAND mmKAY?!

what.

There is backlash against two people feeding their children. I have no faith left in humanity.

If someone says breast milk dishonors the uniform, but blood does not? I will lose my damned mind.

BB there are layers of mysogeny in this. They’re mad women are in uniform. They’re mad women are in uniform and are mothers (ought to be SAHM which is the only legitimate form of motherhood, in their humble opinion), and they see any woman working and actually taking maternity leave/taking care of their children as an insult to men, and men’s work or some crazy bullshit. They hate women and they hate working women, when it comes down to it. These are the batshit insane individuals who don’t think women should be in the military, and think THAT was the beginning of the end of civilization. Let’s just skip over their insane ideas about what being a “real soldier” means, and the actual purpose of the military. Women shouldn’t be breastfeeding in public because women shouldn’t BE in public. Crying or annoying children are an inconvenience in public and therefore women should stay at home and play at some idealized version of motherhood in fictional perfect houses and let the menfolk go about the menwork. Also, breasts are only for the male gaze. Geeze, you guise. You’d think breasts are for feeding babies or something.
