Sad Day for Kiwi Dads

I just can’t wait to see the new ad that will replace the withdrawn one…

Dad’s got a firm grip on Momma’s teet, lovingly squeezing the swollen mammory gland to produce the sweet expression into the child’s latching mouth…what a family bonding ad that would be…

Not always in that order…

Yeah that is such a load of tripe. I mean really - Piri Weepu breastfeeding?

And, abuse them. Don’t tell me you aren’t doing your share,** Chessic Sense**!

Here it is, the terribleman bashing anti-male ad!

Shocking!

I think you’ve missed the point. It’s not the ad that’s offensive.

Which is fucked up because using a bottle IS normal for most breastfeeding families some of the time and a few people all the time - adopted children, children whose parents have medications that prevent breastfeeding AND ANY MAN.

It is NORMAL AND WONDERFUL for a man to bottle feed a baby. God what is wrong with people. “We can’t show that - it might give them the idea it’s normal and fine for a father to feed a baby in the only way possible for him!”

And making breast feeding this massive chore where you can never express milk for later or have a partner help, ever (that’s not NORMAL) – way to sell it there, folks.
