Small commentary on breastfeeding icon debacle

[gemfyre]

Sheesh, the way some people are carrying on you'd think Livejournal was trying to ban breastfeeding outright and succeeding.

I am in 2 minds about this:
- breastfeeding is natural and normal and why would anyone fuss? particularly as some of this seems to be somewhat nasty / bitchy child-free vs Boob_nazis

- naked flesh in a default icon is a bit offputting if you surf from work.

However there are default icons that show more boob, when clothed, than some nursing moms show with baby covering essentials.

I actually think that if they (LJ/6S) had done this right in the first place rather than going 'ew, BOOBIES!' then there wouldn't be this fuss.
