Called a pervert for breastfeeding

[mush4brains]

I know that some of the reasons people breastfeed are lost on some people but I am really hurt that one of my closest friends called me a pervert last night cause I am still breastfeeding my nearly 8 month old son. She has told me before she thinks its perverted to bf a male. It all happened via text & when I called her she has refusded to pick up. I am now left really hurt/angry/shocked/upset. Has anyone else come across this kind of name calling for breastfeeding?

No but she sounds a moron so wouldn't lose any sleep over it. I think your posting name is more appropriate to her, no?

She isn't a friend, that much is sure.

What a cow!

Good grief she sounds like the sort of friend you could do without. Could it be because she has had a problem with breastfeeding her own children (if she has any)? Most bizarre.

breast feeding is natural wether boy or girl

Maybe if you were still BF a 10 yr old, but 8 mo...FFS...sounds like the sort of friend you can do with out.

Well Done you for going this long!

she has a serious problem. ignore her til she apologises, dont let her warped mind upset you

She is thick and ignorant and no friend of yours.

Tell her to register on here and post her views.

What a vile thing to do to you

It's her problem, not yours - to equate bfeeding a child with sex is screwed up.

But if she's a close friend, it must be extremely hurtful.

Is she usually moronic?

Surely the sort of person who thinks this way, also spells it 'prevert'?

Seriously, I don't know what to say, it really sucks to have someone you thought was a friend talk to you this way.

Is there more going on here? Was she abused as a child? Did she try to bf but not manage it?

remove her from your birthday/christm,as card list at once....who needs friends like that !!!

I would e-mail her a link to Kellymom or any of the other bf sites, with an angry message saying that perhaps she ought to educate herself and then fuck off and die.

She is an arse and well done to you for giving your child the best food available to him in the face of this ignorant hostility. You're a heroine, she's a fuckwit. Case closed.

bugga picture not work i still learnlng lol your so called friend is so wrong huni it so natural and not matter if a girl or boy

does she have children ?

she sounds totally barking

please don't be upset, she obviously has issues

(bf my ds till he was 18 months so god knows what she'd think of me !)

I am shocked by her ignorance, please don't let it put you off b/f. 8 months for god's sake.

Is there any point trying to get her to see that this is perfectly normal?

Is she someone you would really like to keep as a friend?

Does she have children?

she called you a PERVERT via TEXT?

for BREASTFEEDING??

I have gone all over capitals in my shock and rage

Give me her mobile number I'm in a stinking mood

i think you should give all of us her email addy. WE'LL deal with 'er.

good grief, she has a problem!

I'd be inclined to laugh at her, really.

Honestly.

I mean I began all indignant, but honestly, I think the only thing you can do with opinions this inane is just laugh.

Make her feel very small.

Then stomp on her, put her in a matchbox and leave her out for the binmen.

Oh take no notice!
I'm sad at the moment as I'm cutting down to one feed with my 21 month old so I don't worry about the antidepressents I've started taking. Imagine what she'd say to me!!

The human race would have died out had women not breastfed their sons for centuries on end I think you will find! Formula is a very recent invention. It is definately her problem and not yours - don't let it get to you.

well hunker when I saw the bit about 'its perverted to bf a male' I did laugh!

bizarre

If you're going to sexualise bf in this way, why is it OK to bf girls?

Honestly, laugh, stomp, matchbox, leave for binmen.
