There is apparently a petition to get Facebook to allow a woman to show pictures from her mastectomy. I'm all for support groups, but seriously...is FB the best place for this? Why are folks protesting so much?

I'm confused. What would be the problem? Isn't her breast gone? Are there before pictures that she wants to post? Lemme go read this...

Yes, it's gone. The photo showed her topless (covering her remaining breast) exposing the scars. I think Facebook is trying to cover its ass. I still don't get why people are making a big deal out of this, though. There are plenty of other places people can go to for support.

I'm the biggest boobie advocate there is (I nursed my little lady exclusively til she was 13 months! She never, ever drank formula or from a bottle), but I would NEVER put a picture that was clear enough to show my breast while nursing on a social networking site like that. I am positive that there are pictures of me breastfeeding, though I'm not certain if they're on FB, but her head is blocking any boobage. And I've nursed everywhere you can think of, from restaurants to airplanes, but again, not with my exposed breast flopping in the breeze.

minDyG - my sentiments exactly. i'm breastfeeding my 5 1/2 month old son and plan to until 12 or 13 months. sometimes he's hungry when we're out, but that's what they invented the little nursing "capes" for. i know it can be a little more effort, but i get weirded out by the moms who just whip out a tit in public.

i thought i didn't have an opinion on the issue, until i was at work today (in a library) and this lady started breastfeeding while in here. I was suprised, then grossed out, then checked myself, then was o.k.

i feel bad b/c my FIRST instinct was to freak out. However i did not ask her to leave, or move, or go to a bathroom. She was fine - I was being silly. So I let her have a moment and all was well.
