Morgan,

There is an informational site that is not on Facebook.  However, all of the donor matching and chapters- where the real action takes place- *is* on Facebook.  It's a very legitimate concern. 

It's not that women are doing it wrong; this criticism is not gender based.  It's that we're seeing holes and potential problems in what  might  grow  into a good system, and we're being proactive by pointing them out. Not anti-woman, just anti-problem.

>> I have some of the same reservations Heather does. On top of my concern for proper support and resources for the women involved is that this isn't just a website. EOF is *less* than a website. It relies entirely on Facebook which pulls down pages on whim, by accident and because its corporate policy states that the human areola is obscene. How soon before breastfeeding pictures are posted on EOF Facebook pages and the pages just vanish with the information and vital relationships going with them?
