I think we’ve jumped the shark.

This woman will be sucking up all the female validation for making this empowering move. I can see the smirks on collective female lips while I type this. Actually, I’m simultaneously underwhelmed and plain annoyed at the attention seeking factor of this. Guess this means I have nothing left to respect for our system because it really is just a circus.

This is the second attention whoring move by this senator in parliament, so I’m wondering how she’s going to up the ante on her next publicity stunt.

This is from the above article…

This Badass Senator Breastfed Her Baby While Giving A Speech In Parliament
By Mia Mercado

Babies, like any human beings, need to eat. This is true even when that baby’s mother so happens to be a member of Australian parliament. So, when her baby was hungry while she needed to move a motion, Greens senator Larissa Waters breastfed her baby while giving a speech to parliament. Thus making Waters the first woman (and her daughter Alia the first baby) the first to do so.

Waters was working to move a motion on lung disease, which coincided with when her daughter needed to eat. When asked by BuzzFeed News why she breastfed while giving the speech, Waters said because “black lung disease is back among coal miners in Queensland and Alia was hungry.” Waters successfully moved her motion while feeding her daughter.

This is not the first time Waters has made headlines for breastfeeding. Earlier this year, she became the first person to breastfeed in the Australian parliament. While happy her actions sent an empowering message about women in politics, Waters still hoped for a time when her choice to breastfeed would be less newsworthy. “The fact that it is news that a young woman… can breastfeed in parliament, goes to show how far we have to go in making our parliament look like our community,” she told BuzzFeed News. “It’s been 116 years in the coming, and it’s tragic that it’s taken that long.”

Public breastfeeding is still heavily stigmatized in many cultures. Women have been asked to “cover up” while breastfeeding on planes and at church and shamed for posting breastfeeding selfies by strangers and spouses alike. A quick Google search will show you plenty of stories in which women have been told their choice to breastfeed in public is inappropriate, offensive or distracting. Thankfully, some companies, like Target, have put into place breastfeeding-friendly policies, making those spaces safe and comfortable for parents to feed their children as they choose. However, we’ve still got work to do to before it becomes widely socially acceptable.

As many mothers will tell you, breastfeeding isn’t easy. Is it natural and a fine way to feed a baby? Of course. However, a parent’s choice regarding breastfeeding shouldn’t be further complicated by cultural opinions on whether or not it’s polite or appropriate. Women’s bodies are constantly policed for being too sexual or not sexual enough. That sexualization happens even when doing something as nonsexual as feeding a child. (A friendly reminder that breastfeeding is meant to feed a baby, not the male gaze.)

Waters told BuzzFeed News, “Women have always worked and reared children, whether that work was paid in the workplace or unpaid in the home. I hope [this] helps to normalize breastfeeding and remove any vestige of stigma against breastfeeding a baby when they are hungry.” Actions like the one Waters’ made yesterday are small but significant in the fight to destigmatize breastfeeding overall. When these actions inspire policy change, like in Target, and help make breastfeeding more socially accepted, we in part have women like Sen. Waters to thank.

Thoughts???

All pollies seek attention. At least she had a modesty cloth. ZFG.

edit

Just realised my user name was oxytocin- the let down reflex hormone. I understand this is a mild sexual pleasure to reinforce feeding. So this pollie is getting her rocks off as well. Still ZFG.

Afinogyny.. from the Greek Afino {to abandon/ to set down/ to leave /to allow/ to let } + Gyny {Women} MGHOW’s philosophy to not engage women without “hating them”.

Instadestitue: yet another Neologism for Men that cohabit with women that decide to pull the handle of intervention orders.

She’s such a badass!

Breastfeeding, a normal biological function for women is now edgy!

Yeah vaginas rule!

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

All she is doing is seeking attention.

I met this child around 4 at a family BBQ few weeks back. She kept saying, ‘I am so brave, look at me do ….’

Women stop intellectually maturing around their early teens.

This one stopped at 4.

Only a matter of time before women PILOTS demand the right to breastfeed while flying a huge jetliner. Naturally, while the woman pilot is breastfeeding, the male pilot/co-pilot will have to do ALL of the work flying the plane.

Women do not love men. Women only love what men can provide.

WEW LAD…

This proves a woman has no value other than her titties. She’s a senator and her immediate thought is to prove how good she is as a baby machine.

[Manspread MansplainerParticipant 4222]

As natural as taking a dump.

I have no problem with breastfeeding in public or whatever. I can look away or simply leave, but would me farting loudly during a speech be ok?
Or are some things best left in privacy.

Attention whoring at it’s finest.
What’s next she gonna free bleed on the floor?
Maybe paint “He will not divide us” on her ass cheeks?

If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

She’s just in it for the attention. Look at me, I have t~~~! That and the sexual arousal it causes. I guess she was bored during her meeting.

If the baby is that hungry, she should stay home from work.

Typical grandstanding that goes on here in Australia these days where everything a woman does is fine, everything men does is bad.

[Jim01Participant 6678]

Vomit

breastfeeding is now considered a feminist statement – restaurants/cafes have thrown women out for doing it and this inevitably happens….

http://mashable.com/2016/02/28/breastfeeding-mums-protest/#CcgRkUkSeiqf

how about some consideration for others? Who wants to be sitting in a restaurant eating and some f~~~ gets her baps out for a baby to suck on. They won’t even get up and go to the ladies to toilet to do it so they don’t interrupt other people – typical spoilt adult-children

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9540]

She should be considerate of everyone around her and just give that damn kid a bottle. A bottle is just as good as a breasts. Women choose to breastfeed over giving a bottle just to make a political and feminist statement.

Meh
Just look at the facial expressions these women display.
It is not about feeding the child, nor about any type of “rights”.
Each and everyone of their expressions is a “I demand that you dare to stop me” look.

As an analogy.
When “barbarians” storm the gates, only other “barbarians” protecting those gates can stop them. It’s just the way it is.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

What you don’t see in the picture is that she is getting her pussy licked by Chad under the table.

Looks like an attention whore.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

And attention is what she got!

Sit down before you fall down.
She has now resigned.

…. and everyone – including her – is acting like she can’t continue breastfeeding.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Poetic justice.

MGTOW = Win
BITCH = FAIL.
