Also I think the only ones sexualizing breast feeding whether done by children to dolls or adults to babies is Facebook (because of the weird way they have of categorizing things, not from any personal feeling about it) and of course perverts who troll the internet looking for things that they have fetishized and sexualized. Little girls breast feeding i'm sure falls under that category for someone. And "Facebook has a history of categorising photos of breastfeeding as 'obscene content' but even they seem to agree since they apologized for removing them, pics of little girls breast feeding dolls is not obscene. I think it is disturbing for many reasons which I touched on in this thread, but I don't find it obscene or sexual in the least. Sexual and obscene is when mothers dress their little girls in slinky gowns, high heels and make up and have them parade around encouraging them to shake their booty in order to win beauty pageants. These things must be like amusement parks for sexual perverts.
The objection I have to little girls having dolls suck at flowers attached to their chests is not one of a sexual nature. I do think that the reason people have problems with adults breast feeding babies in public is because the breast is highly sexualized. More breast feeding in public may eventually help people see breasts as body parts with important functions outside of recreation. And I'm certainly all for that. Little girls breast feeding. Not so much.
