I don’t want children. I find them–disturbing and selfish to be honest. I just have no room in my life for ‘jam hands’. That doesn’t mean I haven’t helped raise one, don’t love my nieces and nephews, or that I don’t get an opinion about them. See, the reason I can weigh in on this kind of thing even though it’s not my baby, & not my uterus, is because I do in fact have a uterus and can give birth to a baby so I get to have an opinion. I’m looking at you old, white Republican men.
So, here is my opinion on Alicia Silverstone deciding to open a boob juice shop. First quotes from Silverstone:
“Because we are a community of beautiful souls who recognize the importance of food as health, I say we help support those mamas and babies who need a hand during one of the most important times in their lives,” Silverstone wrote in her post about the milk share launch. ”If you have milk to share – post it! If you are in need of milk – post it! Think of all the babies we can help raise together!”
“She tried reaching out in her community for donor milk, but it was almost impossible to figure out what kind of lifestyle choices the donors had made. And after all that hard work keeping herself vibrant and healthy, she felt she had a right to demand better for her baby,” Silverstone wrote.
Alicia Silverstone is telling women to offer up their vegan breast milk so strangers can breast feed. Like a wet nurse…like an old fashioned wet nurse. There’s a reason those went out of style–it’s messed up. Look, I’m not against breast feeding. I’m pro-boob. I’m very pro-boob. It’s the swapping I don’t enjoy. Say what you will–these are bodily fluids. Strangers bodily fluids going into your baby. I don’t know–it’s not sitting right with me. How about you guys?
