I hadn't come across this before. Another way in which women's bodies are commoditised and exploited.

The babies end up on formula because there is not enough breastmilk for them and they can get infections from the men's saliva. Women are treated for bitten and infected nipples. It is a common but silent problem in some communities.

That is fucking grim.

That's pretty disgusting. Breastfeeding is in no way a sexual act, why do these sick fucks feel the need to sexualise it.

It is gender based violence in the original meaning of gender.

There is nothing intrinsic to being female that means any woman should ever breastfeed a man.

It is entirely down to women being placed in a subordinate gender role and men dominating them.
