Facebook and Breastfeeding

A friend sent me a great post today --

Apparently facebook is cleaning up the place -- and they deleted pictures of women breastfeeding and consider those images "obscene".

The above link is a great post -- and I love one of the comments on the issue:

Making sure I have this straight per Facebook et al:

* if I bare my boobs to be sexy, catch a man, or sell something = okay.

* if it is known that a baby is attached to my breast or a small amount of breast region is exposed (less than a tank top by my experience because baby's head is a pretty good shield) = obscene

Get out the Hooter Hiders for facebook junkies! :)

Thanks so much, Rachael. I think my wife's stuff is helpful and instructive as well. She's a women's health researcher who has written a lot about breastfeeding and other important issues. I rant, she finds constructive solutions.
