At the risk of sounding naive, I have to say that the term "witch's ***"
did bother me in the e-mail. The second word is something I discourage
people from using, because of the sexual reification it accomplishes,
and the way a beautiful part of the human body becomes a swear word.
I'm hoping, rather naively again, I imagine, that there's a possibility
it's just the fact that it's a witch breastfeeding that has to be
explained. I mean, I know kids may think of the mothers who nurture and
nurse them as being bad witches, sometimes, but it's not a connection I
like them to make more often than -- necessary.
Maybe I'll see if any of my girls want to go out as Breastfeeding Divas. LOL
