~*~ Warning: This will get your blood boiling. ~*~

A friend of mine who is proudly nursing her 4 month old baby girl got into a debate about breastfeeding recently with a woman who cited this page as her "sources".

Have any of you come across anything like this?? I mean, I thought it was a joke to be honest... a truly unfunny, offensive joke. But no, it seems real, and at that it's headed up by an actual mother!

I just have to rant on this for a moment if that's okay. :soapbox
This part here:
Quote:
[size=-1]In fact breast milk has many drawbacks: 1) the mother cannot accurately judge if the child is drinking enough for growth on a day to day basis. [/size]

Yeah, okay, because a child will just let her/himself go hungry or get overfed.

Quote:
[size=-1]2) cow's milk can be formulated to be just as nutritious or better than breast milk in a consistent manner, eg the mother's milk will vary in quality according to her general health.

Right, [/size]yeah,the milk of a species that has been relegated to a life of over-crowded living situations, filthy animal by-product diets, and daily sprayings with dangerous chemicals is MUCH better suited to feed a human infant...

Then it gets a little weird, and very misogynist:
Quote:
[size=-1]Please don't say: "God made breasts for babies." Wait a minute, did you forget that the devil also exists? Breasts were very likely to be designed by the devil, to trap you and ensnare you and get you to lust after children. THINK ABOUT THIS: There are TWO gods, one good, the other bad. BUT THEY BOTH HAVE PLENTY OF POWER. Who are you going to follow?[/size]


That's right, folks, the woman's body is Satan's playground, and apparently all breastfeeding moms are pedophiles. :wow

Haha, wow. That's one crazy rant of a website. It's amazing how many people think they can post whatever they want on the internet, just because it's the internet.
I have to remind myself not to take such people too personally.
I have heard of the belief that Satan is a god too. I can't say my religious beliefs don't affect how I deal with people, but this one is rare.

"2. Are women who enjoy breastfeeding children paedophiles?
Yes they are, because they feel sexually aroused with breastfeeding and some even admit this has led to orgasm. But even if the female clitoris, vagina, ovaries and uterus didn't exist, breasts are sexual in nature, not only because they can provide high physical pleasure in a more sustained manner than the clitoris and the vagina, but also because the mother craves physical contact with the child, eg she wants to have her breasts sucked, and uses the child to satisfy her cravings. This is not love, this is lust. Many women become so addicted that they carry on breastfeeding their children until they are 8 or more years, most in secret. This is not acceptable and is child abuse. Moreover the children are very likely to behave like the mother when they grow up, and the spiral of paedophilia will continue."

:cursing

This is ignorance at its finest. Some people should not be allowed to post on the internet.

The thing is, it is so poorly written and full of such garbage and over the top that it is not going to be taken seriously by very many people.

If I were opposed to breastfeeding, I certainly wouldn't go sharing that site as my "proof" - it's an embarrassment.

:yeahthat she might as well have STUPID tattooed on her forehead.
as an armchair psychologist i would venture a guess that this woman grew up in a very wacked cult of a church, may have been abused herself and probably believes all kinds of horrible and scary things and i for one hope like heck she doesn't have children.

This has to be a plant from the formula company or dairy industry. If this person knew anything about biology s/he would understand that the proteins in cow's milk are too large to digest for babies. What a nut job!

I'm at work so don't have the time, but she needs to be reported to her ISP or hosting site as this is hate language and normally against TOS.

The woman who wrote this is clearly a raving lunatic...wow.

I love the statement that cloning is more divine than the mess of sex and sexual organs...LOL. Wow. I wonder what happened to her to make her that out there...
