You rock, Susan, Wolf is a perfect example of how Second Wave Feminism failed women. "Equality" is defined in entirely male and capitalist terms. Any act which interferes with the ability to earn money is considered anti-feminist. That is the core of Wolf's argument against breastfeeding. Her sloppy assessment of the science is just a pretense because her real objection is that breastfeeding interferes with a woman's ability to earn as much as a man. Rather than blaming the economic system, she blames breastfeeding. Not an argument First Wave Feminism would have made and time will tell where the Third Wave will land on this issue. 

Yours,

Jake Marcus, J.D.
