    Breastfeeding has been around for centuries, but has recently become a controversial topic. It has been considered immoral for a woman to breastfeed her child in public. Breastfeeding in public should be socially acceptable and continued to be protected by law. It is a natural action that is healthy for the child and the mother; it should also be socially acceptable because it is only considered immoral because of the constant sexualization of the woman’s body. Breastfeeding was normal for women in the U.S. society until the 1940s.…

    Since 2001, the year when PETA’s co-founder Ingrid Newkirk declared the organization would intentionally become provocative, controversial “press sluts” to further pursue its goals, PETA’s media usage (notably the advertising method) has changed drastically. PETA’s media tactic has since then been widely criticised by various minority groups: feminists, black civil rights activists, and animal advocacy organizations alike. The tactic is considered by many to promote a “hierarchy of oppressions”, exploiting marginalised groups in order to liberate the animals— another marginalized group. Out of such exploited marginalized groups, intersectional vegetarian feminists arguably have the most interesting viewpoint on PETA’s advertisements. Intersectionality…

    During my maternity clinical experience I was able to be a part of the discussion encouraging mothers to breast feed their infants almost weekly. Before attending nursing school I had a limited understanding concerning breast feeding, but I had heard and learned that the benefits of breast feeding far outweigh any other source of infant nutrition.

More so, the risk of women developing cancer of the breast is greatly weakened.…
