This was in today Salon's: Breast-Feed or Else: A quick FYI: Yesterday's New York Times article on breast-feeding sparked many letters to Broadsheet, none of them positive. Quoth one reader: "The crux for me is that it is ridiculous and patronizing to 'educate' women about breast-feeding when we don't even have paid maternity leave to help [us] do it." Just to let you know, the reason we didn't react to the article yesterday is that we're preparing a full-length, stand-alone response for today. Stand by!
Although salon.com was once pro-BF, the female editors are now against anything that relates to "guilt." I imagine I will finally cancel my subscription after this article.  Anyway, I would imagine this "response" will be run today or tommorow. I don't know what you can access if you don't subscribe.
