Militants suck.
Militant bicyclists block motor vehicle traffic.
Militant islamists kill everyone around them.
And now, militant breast owners are insisting on punishing Victoria’s Secret for…what?
Here’s what happened:
Victoria’s Secret responded to requests for an interview with a previously-issued statement: “We take this issue very seriously. We have a longstanding policy permitting mothers to nurse their children in our stores and we are sorry that it was not followed in this case. We have apologized to Ms. Clawson, and we are taking actions to ensure all associates understand our policy that welcomes mothers to breastfeed in our stores.”
Sounds like a nice denouement, yes? Company offiically apologizes, says “this shouldn’t have happened; here, have a $150 shopping spree on us,” and publicly affirms its already-extant pro-breastfeeding policy.
But militant breast owners everywhere aren’t satisfied.
But Clawson doesn’t believe the company supports breastfeeding in stores.
“It is hard to believe that Victoria Secret [has] this long-standing training,” she says. “None of them said ‘I think it is okay [for her to breastfeed in the store].’ ”
Nursing advocates and moms groups from across the country—and the world—have contacted Clawson and want to stage a nurse-in at Victoria’s Secret stores. Clawson simply hopes that the company will make a donation to an organization that supports breastfeeding and make new moms feel welcome.
“They have a huge demographic of new moms that they are missing out on,” Clawson says. “I feel that Victoria’s Secret doesn’t even care… [It’s] like, if you are a mom you don’t have a right to feel sexy.”
:rolleyes:
All this because one employee in one store mistakenly said “no.” The apology, gift certificate, and reaffirmation of corporate policy don’t seem to mean anything.
So fuck militants for making a big, unforgiving deal out of every single infraction.
I think you’ve confused militant with asshole.

Your welcome
showed more enthusiasm than mine.
I thought it was well known that Frederick’s of Hollywood already has the nursing demographic sewn up.
I’m just pleased that there’s a right to feel sexy.
Does VS carry nursing bras?
It’s one of the rights reserved to the people under the Tenth Amendment. (You don’t see any enumerated power to feel sexy given to the Federal Government in the Constitution, do you?)
Oh, so VS means Victoria’s Secret now?
Maybe I should rethink seeing Ecks VS Sever.
Militant pacifists are the worst.
It’s one of those penumbraic emanations.
I’m waiting for the militant milliners. Down with baseball caps!
I’m assuming they’ll make war on the cheesemakers. What’s so special about cheesemakers?
BubbaDog:
Your welcome
Spelling police violation! :eek:
It’s “you’re”.
No, don’t thank me.

Blessed are the cheesemakers for they were the first humans God made-Edam and Eve.

Definitely confrontational. Arguably extreme. I’d say it fits your definition.
Seems to me that it’s just an obvious application of the right to feel secure about my person.
Actually I was point out that Machine Elf owns a welcome.
