Calling Breastfeeding “Natural” Is UNETHICAL Now, You Guys. UNETHICAAAAAL!

WHAT IS OUR WORLD I WANT OUT OMG.

According to a “study” (WTF kind of study is that?) calling breastfeeding “natural” is “unethical” because it reinforces gender roles.

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF.

Here’s the thing. Milk comes out of females’ mammary glands to feed their young. That’s natural. It happens in nature.

Sex is biological. There are innate differences between the sexes. Biological males produce sperm. Biological females produce eggs. Biological female mammals produce milk.

IT’S FRIGGIN NATURAL, YOU IMBECILES.

Here’s what these dolts have to say about it…

According to the Independent Women’s Forum:

It’s “ethically inappropriate” for government and medical organizations to describe breastfeeding as “natural” because the term enforces rigid notions about gender roles, claims a new study in Pediatrics.

I don’t even want to keep reading. I just want to go eat some ice cream and forget this ever happened, ok?

“Coupling nature with motherhood… can inadvertently support biologically deterministic arguments about the roles of men and women in the family (for example, that women should be the primary caretaker,” the study says.

How DARE you support natural roles through obvious facts?!?!?!?!

The study notes that in recent years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and several state departments of health have all promoted breastfeeding over bottle-feeding, using the term “natural.”

“Referencing the ‘natural’ in breastfeeding promotion… may inadvertently endorse a set of values about family life and gender roles, which would be ethically inappropriate,” the study says.

I hate whoever wrote this. Like f’real.

Unless such public-service announcements “make transparent the ‘values and beliefs that underlie them,’” they should quit describing breastfeeding as “natural.”

But the study’s authors, Jessica Martucci and Anne Barnhill, clearly have in mind an alternative set of “values and beliefs,” about  which they are not transparent.

Jessica Martucci and Anne Barnhill! Now I can put a name to my hatred.

It’s unclear whether they’re worried about how traditional female gender roles may limit women’s progress in the workforce, or whether this is part of the discussion about whether conventional views about motherhood exclude transgender people. Or perhaps this is just another example of how the progressive obsession with gender and sexuality has permeated all fields of academic study.

And THAT is what the world looks like now.

We’re doomed.
