Ffs that's appalling

I have read some of the comments on the FB Times article. I could cry. Women are happily throwing others under a bus just to appease a tiny minority.

I agree with PP, men and women have breasts and nipples. Breastfeeding suits all?

Chestfeeding isn't a neutral term.

Performative wokery. Female erasure.

I don’t understand sorry if I put this clumsily and offend anyone
I have asd so do that a lot

Why does it need to change? Men and women have breasts ? Men and women have chests but you feed from breasts? Men and women can both get breast cancer too so why does it need to change when anatomically both have chests and breasts just women have breasts that produce milk (but can’t some men I’ve read)
I don’t know it’s just confusing

Fair enough to modify their language IF there is a "man" who is attempting to feed their own baby -but why offend the 99.9% of women who are trying to do it. Ridiculous nonsense.
