And isn't it odd, how breastfeeding can be a way of keeping women prisoners
to their biological destinies and thus subjugated by men, at the same time
it empowers them as feminists by allowing them to give perfectly suited
nutrition to their children in an ecologically appropriate way without
reliance on a male-dominated economic system?

Or how the commodified breast (stereotypical in form, filled with silicone
and sold by surgeons to women, or by pornographers to readers) provides no
nutrition, while the public display of a life-giving, lactating breast
provides no monetary gain to a woman?
