Sex Sales at the MySpace Bazaar - Breastfeeding Edition
It's been a little bit since we last had breastfeeder wank. That's a tragedy and a travesty, and so, courtesy a lovely mousey over on Wank Report, it's time for a comedy in two acts: The Great MySpace Breast Oppression.

[info]bronzegoddess wants us all to know about a VERY IMPORTANT petition. To wit:

Subject: Please sign this REAL petition!

This isn't a joke. It's not a stupid little test that you have to repost or the love of your life will die THIS FRIDAY like OMGodz NOOOO!1!11!! This is about Myspace attempting to take away a woman's right to post a completely non-sexual photo of her breastfeeding her child. Yes, this coming from the same site that allows photos to be posted of barely post pubescent children flashing their tatas and weewees for the camera to get a few more hits to their profile and maybe entice a dirty old man to want to hunt them down for some playtime.

Anywho...here's the link for the petition:

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?

Apparently, it's against the TOS of Myspace for me and everyone else to have a picture of our child breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not a crime in the USA, a breastfeeding woman cannot be charged with any kind of indecent exposure even if her breast in whole or in part is visible before during or after feeding her child. Some may point out that Myspace is not only used by people in the US and I say that the US is the main country with such a stick up its ass regarding breastfeeding. It's not wonder formula feeding is so rampant.

ARGH!

This hurts my brain.

Please "sign" the petition.

-Jamie

And this is the link to the woman that Myspace is threatening to remove:

http://www.myspace.com/my_family_of_5


There is wank everywhere you look in the [info]_pregnant_ post. Consider this a cheese sampler, if you will:
She's also posted over on our old friend, [info]breastfeeding, here. No real wank yet, just agreement with the OP, but I live forever in hope.

ETA: [info]stupid_free gets in on the act. The best part so far is the, uh, "debate" over whether the government owns MySpace.

Is it so hard to grasp that breastfeeding!=picture of breastfeeding?

I hope My Space sticks to its guns, these women need to learn throwing a temper tantrum about something you have no right to be demanding doesn't work. Otherwise, where will their children be?

Actually, I like their logic, because it means that by licking this picture of Jon Stewart:



I will actually be licking Jon Stewart. And that's a logic I can get behind.

In the beginning I didn't have any pictures of Angela posted publicly on the internet for that very reason and because sick people (they even exist in this comm) will take my pictures and use them elsewhere as their own. But fuck it! Let them use them. I know who my daughter is, I know she is mine and I guess I'd be flattered if someone chose pictures of my daughter to use as their own over the thousands of other babies they could have chosen

My baby's cute enough for pedophiles. Is yours?

I don't think I'll ever understand why some people want to show complete strangers on the internet pictures of their baby breast feeding. I mean, I know that some parents go so completely gaga over their baby that they want to show everyone in the world pictures of the baby, but why breast feeding in particular? Unless the whole point is to try to get places like LJ and MySpace to prohibit/restrict such images, so that they can get publicity for their pro-breastfeeding cause. But I sort of doubt that.

Wow, that's a lot of self-righteous rage combined with thickheaddedness.

myspace is a place for teen/tween networking (or at least thats what the main population consists of, a bunch of mindless twits) so is this really that much of a surprise?

They wouldn't want to call so much more attention to it by pissing off a bunch of eloquent, intelligent breastfeeding women, many of whom have a lot of time to sit on the couch, breastfeeding their babies and reposting the pictures that Myspace is removing

Uh, yeah they do. Myspace is the hang out of middle school/high school/college students and is used for friends networking. Pissing off a minority of breastfeeding women won't decrease it's popularity y'know.

Quoth the OP:

As for If you don't like it, I'd suggest not using MySpace, what would have happened if say, Rosa parks simply stopped riding the bus because she didn't want to have to sit in the back? Or if women just stopped giving birth in hospitals because they weren't allowed to bring their spouses into the labor room with them? Policies change and history is made when people make a stand, no matter how trivial it may seem at the time.

Because civil rights and breastfeeding pics on MySpace are TOTALLY RELATED!

I never understand when people go on about people infringing on their so-called intarweb rights, whatever they think those are. I mean, I could have a website that stated in the TOS that you weren't allowed to post pictures of Italian dinners, and It would be my perogative, really. End of story, no complaining abou me infringing the rights of Pastafarians or whatnot.

Is there some kind of rule, that when breastfeeding moms SNAP over their inability to post pictures of themselves breastfeeding on private services, they must automatically compare their situation to Rosa Parks and the civil rights movement? Because this is not the first time it's been used in an argument.

I'm wondering, is this something they agree to when they join breastfeeding comms? "Rule One: If you're feeling oppressed, immediately equate your breastfeeding with Rosa Parks. That will show everyone you're on the side of good and right."

You know, I think breastfeeding is beautiful and I understand why women would want a picture taken of that so they can look back on it when their babies are all grown up and savour the moment that's long gone, and maybe share it with a few intimate friends on the net?

But this sort of batshittery really isn't going to sway people into thinking that breastfeeding pictures are a-okay.

This is about Myspace attempting to take away a woman's right to post a completely non-sexual photo of her breastfeeding her child. Yes, this coming from the same site that allows photos to be posted of barely post pubescent children flashing their tatas and weewees for the camera to get a few more hits to their profile and maybe entice a dirty old man to want to hunt them down for some playtime.

Well, if that's true, I can understand why they might be trying to make a stand, but do they have to be so stupid about it. Must they abuse the civil rights movement everytime!

Shorter breastfeeding wank:

The only acceptable picture of boobs is with a baby attached. Everything else is slutty.

Also,

Meh, I'm also someone who can laugh at the occasional dead baby joke so, whatever. (I should mention that I've been through a number of miscarriages and have friends who have as well so I do know the pain associated with the passing of a baby).
