Suck it, haters!
In response to the "that's gross!" and "cover up!" shit-talkers who swarmed StrollerDerby yesterday to comment on Sarah's post about Maggie Gyllenhaal nursing in public, bloggers are putting their best breasts forward in solidarity with the actress, and nursing mamas everywhere.
A virtual nurse-in! God, I love the internet.
The Queen of Spain is, like many of us, sick and tired of the breastfeeding-in-public debate. She says, "It’s just a boob... JUST A BOOB. I’ve written about this issue so many times
now... I do not know what else to say to all you asshats
that seem to think my tit exposed to feed my child is baaaaaaaaaaad. You are also forcing me to resort to
drastic measures."
Karl followed suit (man-boob solidarity, is, indeed, needed and appreciated), as did Violet, Summer, Keri, and others. If I had a photo of myself nursing (my toddler! gasp!), I'd post it, but I can't find one that shows enough boob.
I'm not interested in opening up a new debate on public breastfeeding here, I think we had enough of that yesterday. I'm just happy to see so many people storming the blogosphere in support of it. So cool. Breast feeders of the world, unite!
