I wanted to comment on the "nipple rape" term. I personally find it to be 
extremely offensive. No one (whether their taching technique is good or 
not) intends to hurt the mother when they are demonstarting breastfeeding. 
Now, I grant you that many have not learned the proper way to do this and 
many mothers are shown incorrectly. That is not the point of my post.

The term "nipple rape" is completely inappropriate. As another poster 
pointed out, rape denotes something totally different. Uncomfortable or 
inappropriate touch is a far more useful term to describe this.
