If breastfeeding was sexual than it would be sexual assault of a minor. WHICH IT ISN'T. <br />Whereas actual sexually objectifying pictures of women, or violence objectification are totally given a pass. <br /><br />It's a complete confirmation that breastfeeding is seen as *actually* perverse in this culture. Whereas treating women as less than full functioning humans for sexual and violent gratification is enthusiastically okay. <br /><br />*Of course* breastfeeding is a feminist issue.Polly Chromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468032782447695823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859305239867927993.post-83636588689352914892014-09-25T08:46:29.561-05:002014-09-25T08:46:29.561-05:00Thanks for this!

I also really appreciate your articulation of feminism's unfinished business. In some ways, feminism has only won the rights of men. It makes sense this would be, since that is what we have collectively valued, but we best not stop at that. <br /><br />I'd add a modifier to the "real feminist" tag: real subversive feminist. It seems one of the underlying problems with breast feeding from the perspective of the patriarchal power structure is the way it reminds us that real power, the fundamental creative power to nourish life, does not need the hierarchies consent. This power is determined from within, it is intrinsic, it is not granted by authority, or extrinsic. In this way, the very act of breast feeding causes a little legitimacy problem for hierarchies based on externally granted power over.Schaldachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126634543865006455noreply@blogger.com
