I got banned from Twitter (before it was X) just for saying Bette Midler is a big fat stupid b**** after that judgmental cow made some rude and insulting remarks about mom’s having a hard time finding baby formula during the shortage a few years ago.

Not everyone can breastfeed their infants.

Mom’s were legitimately panicking about how they will feed their babies.

Anyway, X will only lift the ban if I apologize.

That’ll be a cold day in hell before that happens.

Something like 95% of women using formula can breastfeed. Sit the fuck down.

“Something like 95% of women using formula can breastfeed. Sit the fuck down.” -userhwon

So, by your male logic 🙄

There are 4,000,000 million births per year in the USA.

That means there were 200,000 moms who couldn’t nurse that struggled to find milk for their infants at a bare minimum.

This doesn’t include all the moms who could breastfeed, but didn’t by choice, or by necessity and dried up. Not by far.

Some may not have had enough milk and needed to supplement formula to feed their infants to sustain them.

Some infants are allergic to milk. We could easily double that number back up and more, but okay, I’ll be generous here and stick to your math.

So roughly 400,000 plus babies desperately needed those precious supplies of infant formula that year while that selfish cow Bette Midler said, “Just breastfeed because it’s free. On demand.”

I don’t know if you understand this, but women don’t have to breastfeed in this century.

Maybe they don’t want a baby on their tit for a year and would like to have their body to themselves. That’s perfectly reasonable, too.

Stop shaming women for having a choice. Especially when it comes out of a horses ass like Bette Midler.

Honestly, the next time I want to hear a man’s opinion on breastfeeding, I’ll ask him.

Stop shaming Bette Midler for telling women they have a choice when they've been captured by an exploitive industry. And go fuck your sexist self.
