Breastfeeding too sexy for MySpace
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Nutrition: Health, Media, Gadgets
It seems that MySpace.com can't handle breastfeeding. At least a half-dozen women have reported that the social networking site has deleted pictures of them breastfeeding their babies from their profiles -- because they're too sexual. We've been through this before, but apparently MySpace hasn't. Breastfeeding isn't sexual.A quick browse of MySpace caused me to suffer through dozens of sexy pictures -- all of them far more revealing and arousing than any breastfeeding picture could ever be. I'm not sure what's going on at MySpace, but they don't seem very consistent. Breastfeeding is about as sexy as macaroni and cheese. In fact, it's a healthy, natural activity that is generally the best choice for babies. It's too bad MySpace doesn't recognize and support that.
Meanwhile, one woman has started an online petition which, so far, has gathered more than 6,000 electronic signatures. If you don't find breastfeeding to be sexual, head on over and add your name to the list of supporters. Perhaps if enough people sign it, MySpace will get the point.

chocolate thundah said...*Sigh* Why would anyone put a picture of that on their MySpace? Isn't it supposed to be personal. I don't understand why you would what the whole world to see that. But whatever...more power to them i guess.

Yes, I would agree that there is nothing sexual, sexy or even arousing seeing a woman breastfeed her baby. *Personal point of view*
But that doesn't always apply to anyone.
Besides, why would you want to upload a picture of your breast being sucked by your child as a profile picture in any website?

britt said...I dont think they removed the pictures because they were "sexual" I think they removed them for "indecent exposure." Even though it wasn't a sexual act, or sexual picture, if a breast is exposed (even just a little bit), that could be considered indecent exposure. And just my own opinion, yes it is a natural thing... but not something you share with the world. that's a mother-child bond and you should keep it just that.
