[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean I would never ask invasive questions like that but yeah I consider it a real failure for a new mom to just refuse to try to breastfeed. Like why have kids if you can't even do this basic thing for them?[/quote]

And you would say that to adoptive parents?  Mothers who can't BF due to biological reasons?  Gay male parents?  So so so hypocritical![/quote]

well, for one, none of those are new moms who refuse to breastfeed. so ... moot point.[/quote]

What is the difference?  You are clearly just shaming the new mom who "refuses" to breastfeed?  To what end?  Formula is fine for the other kids and its just fine for the baby with the mom with working breasts who chooses differently.  You are just being an a$$hole.[/quote]

I was the PP, but not the first poster.

No i am SHAMING new moms, but i will ASK THEM if they are breastfeeding since its the natural processed that has allowed humans to be alive.  Upon their response that they aren't, the conversation pivots to something new.

I was highlighting that you were throwing out "whataboutisms" to distract, as they are not comparable to a new mom as they physically do not have the option to breasfeed.[/quote]

so many typos ... apologies  :lol: [/quote]

It’s not the typos - your [b]misogyny [/b]is showing…[/quote]

:roll: ok.

so somehow the fact that someone asks about new (biological) mothers and breastfeeding, someone throws out a whataboutism to distract attention to males and adoptive parents, and my response is that they are not new (biological) mothers therefore don't have the OPTION to breastfeeds making it a moot question .... is misogyny.

me thinks you need to buy a dictionary  :lol: [/quote]
