The reason I despise the term "breastfeeding Nazi" is not that it accuses 
breastfeeding supporters of being militant, but because it labels them with 
a name that represents a group of people who massacred, slaughtered and 
tortured millions of men, women and children. People can call me militant if 
they choose. That's an opinion. But to call me a Nazi? Truly, it makes me 
want to vomit. What the Nazis did was pure evil, and to water it down by 
applying that label waters down the memory of the atrocities of the 
holocaust.

How can the term "Nazi"  become slang for "militant"? It is not. The term 
Nazi must always mean one thing only. The faction that mudered millions and 
millions of people in the most vile and horrifying ways possible. We must 
never forget. I hope the term will always bring sour bile to the mouths of 
all who hear it and a silent or verbal commitment that we will never allow 
that to happen again. Ever.

passionate about breastfeeding, militant about language choice. A Nazi? God 
forbid. Never never never.
