Someone Call A Nurse, I Just Kicked This Radio Guys Ass

While driving home from work this morning I was listening to some talk radio morning show. They were discussing "Extended Breastfeeding" which apparently is when mothers nurse their children beyond their second birthday. The main points these male radio hosts were making were completely asinine:

1. Mothers who nurse their four or five year old children are sexual abusers.
2. It should be illegal to nurse a child after their third birthday.
3. Nursing a baby is a sexual turn-on for mothers.

I couldn't believe what I was listening to and then they were taking calls from other men who were agreeing with their completely fucked up point-of-view.

I never nursed my Marbles. It just wasn't something I wanted to do and do I think it's a bit odd when a toddler is nursing? Sure... but there are also children at three or four that still have pacifiers and carry around bottles. It's an oral fixation/security/comfort thing. I couldn't believe these men were attributing nursing to sexual abuse.

To any mothers out there that have nursed their children, did you ever notice any type of discrimination or receive looks from people when you were feeding your child?

What do you think about children who are nursed into their toddler years? I just think it's the same as a toddler having a pacifier or bottle, you just need to ween them off!
