I don't know why breastfeeding is gross to people. I know for sure it is but I don't know why. Is it because our culture so sanitized or is it just sexism and misogyny? Also I am curious if anyone thinks breastfeeding sexualizes the child who is nursing? I don't but I have heard people say that about boy children older than a year nursing.

I think what squicks *me* is not the fact that there is a breast feeding doll.
I think it is the fact that little girls don't have breasts yet, and everywhere they look there are breast-centric messages being thrown their way.
I just want them to relish the years they have being KIDS, and it feels like they are pushed to be older almost right out of the womb.
The
really weird thing about people grossing out over breast feeding IS the fact that breasts are basically the passport to the universe according the the MSM. It is the norm for women to get implants and big boobies are everywhere. Strange to be so puritanical about the thing that actually de-sexualizes breasts.
