Yes and no.

This is for breastfeeding people and people who plan to breastfeed, and it is very important: *you don’t have to pump and dump*.

Yeah but like, Ditto can pretty much turn into any other pokemon so, which pokemon WOULD you fuck?

Just to clarify, I would not fuck Ditto the Pokemon.

“No. Do you make crackers Brian?”

why is this guy wearing a suit and a fedora?

Why I gotta wear more clothes than Jesus in Church tho.

1. It says right in the article that the friend knew she was bringing the baby, she just didn’t expect it to be in the room in the carrier.

Let’s look at this from a slightly different perspective. Do you think that a mother should be allowed to breastfeed her baby in public? After all, women don’t *have to* breastfeed in public - there are alternatives. Similarly, a woman doesn’t *have to* bring her child to a public venu - she has other options, right?…

“No, no, no. The babysitter is supposed to stay outside with the baby and bring her to you in the breastfeeding room.”

1: Her friend asked her to be on the panel when she was in her third trimester, and then again after she had the baby, I’m sure she knew the author would be bringing her baby.

I mean, I work in an office where people play video games at work on breaks, and nobody bats an eye. (I work in video games.) Yet we manage to create a really good product.

How “lucky” we are to live in the West, where we have these imaginary lines drawn between “work” and “home.” Never mind that we now have companies arguing for “work-life integration,” we still must keep kids entirely out of the way lest they interrupt us.

With who? I definitely see your point, but it is frustrating when people say “leave the baby at home” as if it can just chill there in the crib alone nbd. Leaving the baby at home means paying someone a ton of money, having a fantastic support system most people don’t have, or having access to a day care that is…

The erasure of mothers, and in particular poorer mothers, is such an issue. It’s one of the ways the feminist movement makes it abundantly clear that the needs of upper-class white women are paramount, while everyone else needs to take a backseat.

It’s against feminism to pretend that you have to hide your children away because a woman’s conference must be divorced from kids and not present at all. Children make noise, but if your reaction to a baby being visible is “Get it out of here. This women’s conference about women’s lives is NOT about babies” is part of…

This story is bullshit, and the actions of her “friend” were bullshit, too. Here is some inspiration for all the working moms from the Italian MEP Licia Ronzulli.

I used to comment regularly on Jezebel for years (under a different name) and stopped because of the feeling the author describes when someone she assumed would be an ally made her feel unwelcome.

I agree. Nobody is less charmed by children than me, but I am even less charmed (negative charmed!) by those people who pretend it’s a reasonable worldview to insist that children should be kept in their homes and away from polite society until they’re 17 and 4 months.
