Woman Behind Controversial Military Breastfeeding Photo is Fired from Her Job

The specific topic may have drifted but a couple of boobs remain the center of attention.

 

[speedkilz88]

We're talkin' different kinds of boobs here...

No I was talking both varieties actually.

This thread went from perky to saggy really fast.

:laugh1:

Another point on which we agree. 2012 must really be the end of days!

Well i guess you learn something new everyday

I like boobies, and that is all I have to add to this discussion.

:busty:

 

[casmith07]

some of those rules look pretty stupid though, like no affectionate hand holding, no talking and walking on a phone, no eating and walking

do those rules serve a purpose or are they just about control?

that guy you referred to yapping at the young guy, was that not just a power trip?

They serve a purpose.

"According to Military Spouse Central, public displays of affection -- even something as innocuous as holding hands -- are not allowed while wearing a military uniform. Also forbidden while in uniform: eating, drinking, or talking on a cell phone while walking, carrying an umbrella that's not black, and (in some cases) smoking or even chewing gum."

I saw a uniformed serviceman giving affection just a few days ago.

I was shopping, and I know that one of the guys who works at the store has a kid who is serving in Afghanistan. The kid must have been one leave as he walked into the store in uniform and gave his father a hug. It was a nice moment.

But I guess the kid should have gone home to change first instead of coming straight from the airport. Rules are rules, you know.

The military is not a maternity ward.

Funny how you know the details about something that you do not know the details about

What if instead of breastfeeding, she was promoting prayer? It would be fun just to watch the inner turmoil you would face trying to pick a side with that one

#reality

Cannon Shot!


Seriously, you can't throw the big middle finger to your employer on company time and expect them to just take it.

This thread is hilarious though.

The fact they think this company is firing her over breastfeeding is beyond silly.


I wish to god people would just have some common sense nowadays and stop being so flippin emotional and led around by the nose.

Seriously.....check yourselves

I bet you wonder why they let women in at all

BTW - I did a little research on the "campaign" that this was part of. It is Facebook support group for breastfeeding mothers and wives of those serving at a particular base. So it isn't like this is some sort of national "change people's minds" thing. It is among people who CHOOSE to be part of a support group for breastfeeding.

I expect you could find similar support groups -- likely with pictures of people in uniform -- for members of AA, different religious groups, etc.

So in that context, the "controversy" seems to be a bit more about the boob than anything else

Do you think rape within the military is okay because men need to be full of testosterone and ready to fight at any time? You sound like one of those guys.

Yeah, because that's what he said.

 

[a_minimalist]

Yeah, because that's what he said.

Did I say that's what he said? I asked him a question. I haven't jumped to any conclusions...yet.

Is that all from you?

Really? Are you sure about that? Because here's what you said:

That's not an accusation?

Of all the posters on this board, you go from 0 to absurd in the least amount of time.

Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever seen anything from you worth reading or at least remembering so I can't comment on your posting habits like you've done with me.

I asked him a question and told him he sounded like one of those guys, yes. If I didn't think I could be wrong I wouldn't have asked him a question first. If that's 0 to absurd to you, so be it. The fact that you think that means nothing to me though, sorry.

It's absolutely absurd to me. Intimating that someone might support rape based on an opinion they express about breastfeeding is, in fact, beyond absurd.

And I hope it would be absurd to, at least, ninety percent of the people reading this thread.

It's a sexist opinion and so is the other. The degree which separates them is severe but not the idea that they both represent an idea that demeans women. I don't see that as absurd. I tend to see things in the bigger picture. Clearly you spend all of your time in the details.

 

[speedkilz88]

It was absurd, what are you 12?

What does this mean?

What groups force membership?
