Breastfeeding profile pictures- more than likely will cause a bunfight

Im pro breastfeeding- 100%. But I really don't like seeing a woman with an exposed breast (and nipple showing) feeding her child as a profile pic. In a photo album fine, but for people to see that photo when they post on a friend of theres wall or comment on someone elses status with no choice but to see it is not right imo.
AIBU? (I know I am really but just wanted to muster up a discussion to distract me from decoratingwhile away the hours)

Sparkling I love your pic Grin Please ask MN to post it on all old threads alongside their 'zombie' thread alert.

LoopyFrooty unfortunately, there are indeed lactation fetishists!

Argh, oh no - second time today I've been got by the zombies

Battleshiphips2 · 17/02/2016 21:17

Can't believe this is about the 3rd zombie thread I've been sucked into today! I'm going to have to go back now and see if worras sausage scrabble player was recent or in the past!

It's attention seeking IMO. I'm not keen either. But I suppose it goes with the territory of selfies all the time...

Sparklingbrook · 17/02/2016 21:22

ZOMBIE threads everywhere today. Hmm

APlaceOnTheCouch · 17/02/2016 21:24

Sparkling the thing that is great about both of those is you can't help but read them in the 'correct' voices Grin Damn, I want to watch Back to the Future now.

YABVVVVVVVVU
One of my biggest regrets is that I only have one breastfeeding pic of me and my dad and none with my dd.

Sidalee7 · 17/02/2016 21:39

Ds! Not dad!

Sparklingbrook · 17/02/2016 21:40

Well, that escalated quicklyGrin

Apologies, I know it was a typo!

Sparklingbrook · 17/02/2016 22:31

It might be a zombie thread but I have learnt one thing. The word 'belfie' exists. Confused

Don't worry Six, there are zombie threads being resurrected all over MN tonight. It's all a bit weird and unnecessary.

ShamefulPlaceMarker · 17/02/2016 22:35

What if there was a guy friend and his profile pic was him on holiday in Spain, on the beach, with his top off? Would you be offended?

ShamefulPlaceMarker · 17/02/2016 22:36

Argh! Serves me effing right for not rtft!

Sparklingbrook · 17/02/2016 22:37

It's time for this again
