Should public breastfeeding be censored?

Share

So I'm giving my opinion even though I don't have children. It's funny, I know. I like it. Especially since breastfeeding isn't yet a priority for me. Since I don't have children. LOL.

However, I remember my mother breastfeeding my little brother. In public. And she wasn't ashamed. That was a long time ago. 20 years ago now. I have a rather silly memory, it was summer, we were at the beach, I was 12 years old. We were in a bar, my brother cried, my mother breastfed him. The table next to us asked the waiter for us to leave the bar. I didn't understand what the obscene scene was. I was 12.

What's the embarrassment? We're breastfeeding, that's all. We're not putting on a free boob show.

Today, social media is increasingly censoring photos of women breastfeeding. But they allow photos of breasts. Double standards.

Why? I really don't understand what's shocking about a photo of a child at its mother's breast.

For your information, there are quite a few paintings by great masters that show the Virgin breastfeeding. Should these also be censored in museums? I don't know, I'm just asking.

So yes, we can complain about ugly nursing bras – not like Peau-Ethique ones, but anyway, don't we have other topics to argue about? We want to take a picture of ourselves breastfeeding, so what? We want to share the photo, why not? It's not a pornographic photo or anything. Whether we like it or not is another matter. That we might be a little uncomfortable with this maternity, I totally understand. But to go as far as censoring, I think there's a real gap.

Otherwise, we have a Pinterest on breastfeeding and it's good.

Your opinion?
