La Leche League is really extreme about breastfeeding and really shouldn’t be used as a reputable source. They can be great as a support for women who want to breastfeed and are struggling, but shouldn’t be used as an authority. Also per their own guidelines they’re not supposed to be involved with any kind of legal…
Needs the Tom Hardy/Mad Max “That’s bait” .gif for the misleading headline. Ramirez practices baby-led breastfeeding. Ridgway requested non-baby-led breastfeeding after the six-month mark, to facilitate visiting, and bonding, with their daughter. The Washington Post reports:
I’ll join the chorus of voices saying that of course no one should be forced to stop breastfeeding but this particular case does not seem to be an order to stop feeding breastmilk.
As a lawyer (and a father) I will say that, while I haven’t read the underlying documents, I’m going to assume that it allows for bottle feeding / pumping and provision of bottles of breast milk for the father to be able to use to feed the child. (Having had to feed two newborns I’m also raising a skeptical eyebrow at…
This is actually a much more complex, family law issue than this article makes it out to be. Yes breastfeeding is important and yes mothers should not be ordered to stop breastfeeding. However as a family lawyer and a woman who is very interested in advancing women’s rights, I can tell you that it is sometimes used in…
Oh my, you are bad at that attempt to sound Black. I did laugh tho. LOL
Not sure how Canada got a reputation as a “nice” place with “nice” people.
Canadian history is just racism and genocide. Canadians, by and large, and racist. And our cops are cartoonishly brazenly super-racist.
As a white Australian, this resonates with me. Especially with the bit about Canada’s First Nations. As I’ve said here before, Australian First Nations people are in the same boat as the Canadian First Nations, except without even a formal treaty - broken or not (doctrine of terra nullius).
Way to be racist using colonial stereotypes. For shame. I’m a brahmin too, most of us in a modern world don’t follow the caste system.
Does Saira Rao hold to the cast system?
I mean I get from what you are saying that they are both privileged. But that doesn’t mean their take has no meaning. Plenty of white people write similar books. And being privileged yourself doesn’t mean you can’t experience racism or understand the intersection of it and…
It sounds like you’ve refused to even try to learn anything about racism. That sort of arrogance means inevitably acting in disrespectful ways towards people who aren’t white men. Sad that you’re so closed-minded you can’t be bothered to learn any6thing new!
Sounds pretty American-like to me.
Also Canadian. Also living in one of the most racist provinces, Saskatchewan. There’s a shit load of anti-indigenous racism, immigrant racism (even if they’re white), and anti-black and anti-asian racism. Hell, a guy shot an unarmed indigenous man in the head, point blank, and got off scott free. Racism is almost in…
How is that ironic? Rao is from Richmond, Virginia, dickhead.
Yeah, as a Canadian(white male though, not female), it sometimes seems to me like a lot of my fellow white Canadians don’t think we have racism in Canada.
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see Jezebel stop hating Anne Hathaway.
