You can never get too much breastfeeding wank, can you?
Over on LJ comm "pregnant", a mother-to-be takes exception to The Breastfeeding Campaign.

The comm does not take it well.

I'm in there a couple times at the beginning, but my comments didn't contribute to the wank, so I'm putting it here. I'd include spoogy excerpts, but the damn thing grew from ten comments to 100-plus in five minutes flat and quite honestly, I'm afraid to look.

ETA: The OP's ([info]asuos</lj>) post was apparently prompted by the response to an earlier post of hers, wherein she asked advice on baby products, including bottles. I can't find that post, but if anyone else tracks it down, I'll link it.

Meanwhile, the wank has spread: both to asuos's LJ, where she cross-posted, [son-of-ETA -- baleeted! and the OP has apparently been banned from the comm] and to this later post by [info]prime_radiant</lj>. The latter is friends-locked, but the community is open membership.

Cousin-of-ETA: Bahleeted! And just when it had occurred to me to go make copies, too. I am a dingbat. Happily, iwanttobeasleep saved the first page down in the comments. Also, hobbit-kicking mouse found the earlier post by the OP, which is here.

"kittyface" sure does like to pretend that a livejournal entry is the best way to form a psychological analysis.

That Mod. Wow.

"No Anti-NIP opinions allowed."

Uhh. Alright. Wow. She's stumped me there.

But no anti-NIP is in the rules. The mod insisted that it was, because sexist comments are not allowed, and anti-NIP comments are sexist. If you read, it even says so . . .

. . . except not, because the mod seems to be pulling rules out of nowhere. If you read the community rules (http://community.livejournal.com/pregnant/profile) sexism does not appear in them.

What a wonderful mod.

Am I the only one who read "anti-NIP" and thought she meant "anti-nipple"? Because I could get behind that one.

It seems rather hypocritical to say "They're my boobs, I'll do what I want with them." And then say "But you should cover up when breastfeeding."

Er, I mean.. hooray for more boobie wank!

. . . funny how the mod has no problem with prime_radiant's continued harrassment of the OP (p_r goes so far as to find her old post and comment telling her to get the fuck out of the community)—something that's against the rules—but freezes every thread that happens to support the OP's view that breastfeeding in public is perhaps not the best thing to do. (To be fair, not everyone that supports the OP is exactly kind either, but still.)

If I were that awful at modding the community I run, it would be even less active than it is now.

—hobbit-kicking mouse, who is tempted to formula feed any squeaky demon spawn she might have, just to piss off the boob nazis. My breasts, my choice.

You feel inferior and pressured because there is a possibility you cannot breastfeed your child, because you know deep down that it is the healthiest choice with the best odds in terms of outcomes for your kid, so you make a post that justifies and confirms you as a righteous, aggressive, judgemental asshole. I don't care what you feed your child. The evidence is in that breastfeeding is best for babies, but you know that, otherwise you wouldn't be feeling so guilty (guilt=anger=defensiveness=this post).

Maybe a better tactic would have been to either shut the hell up and feed your kid whatever you like (the normal response), or search out assistance so that you will be able to breastfeed. There is a great deal available.

What a jag. Can people with psychology degrees stop using them as an excuse to condescend to people?

Would you eat your dinner in a bathroom?

Every single time I see that question used, the only thing I can think at first is: "AJKHLKFJHFLKAJFHKAFHJ. LKJFSHLFKJHSFJH!@!", which is really sort of unsettling. Then I remember the times I've actually eaten in a bathroom, and end up fighting against the urge to reply with "YES, AND I LOVED IT!".

Really, I should stop reading the breastfeeding wank. It just pisses me off, for no good reason, every time. :\

breastmilk is ALWAYS at just the right temp in the boobies!

OMFG STFU PLZKTHXDIE.

Srsly, yo. I am so so SO sick of this shit. Sometimes boobies do not cooperate. Sometimes kids do not cooperate. Sometimes. Breastfeeding. Is NOT AN OPTION.

Sorry for being wanky, but Jesus CHRIST. I was breastfed as a baby, as were my two siblings, and I still feel like slapping the shit out of every faux-smiley-using Boob Fascist on that community.

For fuck's SAKE.

I love how the OP goes on about how its her breasts and she can do what she wants with them, then tries to dictate to breastfeeders how and when it's appropriate for them to breastfeed their children.

I'm getting tired of the idea that being squicked by breast-feeding = being sexist. No, they're not evil puritans who want to ban the female boob and whip women for showing their flesh. They just get grossed out by breast-feeding. Geez.
