LJ Abuse vs Boob Nazis
cali4niachef is informed by LJ Abuse her default icon is inappropriate and to cease using it by the 23rd or face having her account suspended.

Boob Nazis. LJ Abuse. Breastfeeding Icons.

I think we can all see where this is going. (booju_mooju first of all it seems.)

Once the anti-breastfeeding comms get hold of this it should really take off.

Edit the first Thanks to quickfade Apparently hardvice is responsible Icons in comments NSFW.

Edit the second Thanks to a mousie. cf_hardcore join the party.

Edit the third Thanks to freezer It hits metaquotes.

Edit the forth stupid_free weigh in. And fuckyoulist makes an appearance too.

Edit the fifth Just how much further can it spread? As far as retarded_icons, blackfolk and feminist apparently.

Edit the sixth hardvice shows solidarity with the boob_nazis. And magdalene74 has a new lj approved breastfeeding icon.

And to think when I originally posted this I was worried it wasn't wanky enough.

Edit the seventh Annnnnnnnnnd here's anti-feminist joining in the fun.

Edit the eighth Predictably - Exposing LJ Abuse

Really? That's ALL you've ever seen? You've never seen or heard of nursing mothers being asked to cover their children's heads, or nurse them in a bathroom stall? Or seen people compare nursing (something these women do with their infants) to a sexual act? You've never seen or heard of nursing mothers being asked to leave stores or malls? Had their Drs. tell them they need to supplement for some unfounded reason or another? I can't think of a single news story where a woman had CPS called on her for pictures of her bottle feeding her child, but I think of two where a breastfeeding mother did.

Both sides get their own share of slack, sure - especially from one another. But to seriously say that breastfeeding mothers have no issues whatsoever is uninformed at best.

...And this is why I try so hard to avoid breastfeeding/childbirth related topics. I can't stop myself from wanking.

	I think what I would take issue with is stating that BFing moms find themselves "frequently" under attack, though. Have I heard of it happening? Once or twice. Have I ever heard of it happening to anyone near me, or even ever gotten so much as a funny look, being a BFer myself? No. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would agree with that. After posting, I realized the word "frequently" was a poor choice, but there's no way to edit. As for how often it happens, I think that varies by where you live / who you might be around. (Reply to this)(Parent)
