Thanks for your well articulated statements on this topic. I found it
very reassuring to have another like minded person out there! Your
approach is the one I take, but at times I wonder if I am doing myself an
injustice by having watered down my mesg so much.

I was stunned to hear it reported that "feminists didn't believe in
breastfeeding" when I think breastfeeding is one of the biggest feminist
issues of our time! I'd love to meet one that did - I'd have a field day!

We must just keep plugging away, though I suppose :-)
