Herhold: If Facebook can ban breast-feeding, time we cover up statues
I’ve always been grateful my mother took the time to breast-feed me. It’s a reason why I’ve escaped the worst of my family’s allergies.
Until the flap at Facebook, I never realized how dangerous an environment breast-feeding created, a threat only a little less formidable than the bubonic plague.
Silly me: I didn’t understand that pictures of a mother’s nipple or areola in an infant’s mouth could threaten children. I labored under the false idea it was about food.
You may know the story. A cadre of breast-feeding mothers, backed by legions of online followers, is protesting Facebook’s removal of breast-feeding photos that reveal the nipple or areola.
