Too depressing, and very very stupid....I know she got hate mail after the piece in the Gdn in May, and I know the editor at the women's page at the Gdn thought there was a breastfeeding Mafia (and heavens, I do know there are some extraordinary people who indulge in abuse when they disagree with someone). But this is just callous rubbish. What do we do? To point out in print just how rubbishy it is, is to somehow align oneself with the breastfeeding Mafia in many people's eyes, or to be part of the society which tells women what to do with their lives and bodies.... Yet it needs a response...I think.
