Military Moms Breastfeeding in Uniform Stir Controversy

253. Look at the picture. She's wearing a pushup bra or pushing the babies up against her boobs...

to make them high and grapefruit like. It's a typical boob shot, and totally unnecessary in any ad, much less a breastfeeding ad, which ironically is trying to make the point that boobs aren't being shown in public, since they're covered up. Well, I guess they're not covered up.

You need to educate yourself and start paying attention to the sexist ads that abound. You'll start to notice. There's a story on 60 minutes about breast cancer? Pay attention...there will most definitely be some woman, sooner or later, in that story who is naked from the waist up, being videotapes from the back or side. A story on prostate cancer or men getting colonoscopies? Don't hold your breath; you won't see a shot of a naked man being videotaped from the back or side while getting those tests or being examined. It's rampant.

Don't forget the way women are used in ads of all sorts, just because you like the ad's message. That doesn't excusse the sexist pictorial.

A boob shot is a boob shot. Look again. The woman on the left has her boobs almost fully showing, and worse, in an unnatural position, to catch your attention. Typical boob shot. If you really want to show boobs of a woman nursing, find one with the typical saggy boobs covered in stretch marks...that's reality. But that's not sexy. Doesn't make a good boob shot.
