Maggie's Public Mams


 
Some uptight bitches are complaining about Maggie Gyllenhaal's audacity to breastfeed her infant daughter Ramona, 7 months, in public. As a notoriously public breastfeeder myself, I say "Go Maggs!" But I will also admit-- I cringe at the thought of the inevitably ridiculous debates that will ensue over this.

i will take into consideration your lohan icon, and assume that when you made this comment you were simply a victim of your own bad taste.

<3 maggie

That's a pretty ignorant comment.

HA. iawtc.
[info]lasthonestman 7th-May-2007 11:02 am (UTC)
Wow, so I guess according to you, brainless druggy party girls such as Lindsay and Paris are hot. I must've missed it when lame became "the new hot".
[info]pearljam 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
I just applaud her for still breast feeding at 7 months
[info]vacantseas 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
seriously.
[info]munchkin1616 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
why? it's recommended by many doctors up until the first tooth cuts, or longer if the kid doesn't bite
[info]pearljam 7th-May-2007 02:32 am (UTC)
exactly but I know a lot of moms who stop after 2-4 months.
[info]elschiol 7th-May-2007 02:32 am (UTC)
My best friend was breast fed until she was three. Her mom wanted her to be a genius.
[info]mommycairenn 7th-May-2007 02:32 am (UTC)
by the AAP until at least 1 year :)
[info]rawness 7th-May-2007 04:37 pm (UTC)
Wha? It's recommended to nurse until at least 1 by the AAP, 2 by the WHO - whether the kid bites or not. Why? Because biting is a temporary problem, it takes a bit of effort to stop but it doesn't really take that long and yeah it really doesn't effect a nursing relationship. My son attempted to bite me. He sure didn't like it when I calmly (while biting my tongue :-P) took the breast away, put it in the bra, put the shirt on, and put him on the floor so he dropped pretty quick.
[info]kel_luvsorgsoda 7th-May-2007 04:15 am (UTC)
My nephew is 2 and still gets breast fed. It's so awful.
[info]nodisrespect 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
i thought nobody cared about boobs as long as you couldn't see nip.
[info]danielle5985 7th-May-2007 02:34 am (UTC)

nope

i can't believe people are up in arms. breasts are only sexual things if you're perverted or stupid enough to believe it.
[info]murralicious 7th-May-2007 02:37 am (UTC)
I am screwed if people stop believing that breasts are meant to be sexual, 'cuz I've got a great rack.
[info]harmer 7th-May-2007 04:48 am (UTC)
Do you seriously think liking breasts is perverted? If so, then 99% of men are perverted. I don't think so.
[info]foreverbeingnow 7th-May-2007 03:06 am (UTC)
no. sideboob gets a lot of flack, also.
its sad.
[info]sheylea 7th-May-2007 05:50 am (UTC)
heh, the sad thing is: if she were wearing a low low cut blouse nearly showing her nips -- people wouldnt think anything about it. but... feeding a baby? now that's an outrage!

crazy, i know.
[info]cookie_nut 7th-May-2007 01:37 pm (UTC)
Judging by this wankstravaganza...apparently a lot of people care. :/
[info]munchkin1616 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
good for her for not worrying about paps and instead focusing on her child.
[info]poppyspiral 7th-May-2007 03:51 am (UTC)
Agreed, it feels wrong that this photo was taken.
[info]run_atreyu 7th-May-2007 06:36 am (UTC)
What is completely fantastic about this comment is that "pap" is another word for boobs/nipples, so it's all double meaning-having. Awesome.
[info]_glarawen_ 7th-May-2007 09:07 am (UTC)
Exactly. And that's the first thing that I noticed. I went "Awwww motherly loooove", instead of "omgosh boob". I mean, seriously, who cares that you can see some skin (and not even the nipple, I might add)?

:)
[info]bogie_bacall 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
idk about paparazzi taking pics of women breastfeeding.
[info]jessalyn 7th-May-2007 02:34 am (UTC)
they take pictures of men scratching their balls, I don't think they have much limits tbqh.
[info]gnarlyfucks 7th-May-2007 02:40 am (UTC)
but the balls are covered y?
[info]tis_arse 7th-May-2007 02:30 am (UTC)
more power to her! although I find it awkward when I'm around some breastfeeding moms in public.
[info]danielle5985 7th-May-2007 02:36 am (UTC)
awkward, yes, but you get over it instead of asking them to stop, no?
[info]crclmomrub 7th-May-2007 02:41 am (UTC)
your icon is GREAT!
[info]gefingerpoken 7th-May-2007 06:18 am (UTC)
Yeah, I find it awkward too. When that happens I either ignore it, or if it's right in front of me I go somewhere else.
[info]kyosh 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
Here, let me get it out of the way

OMG THAT'S DISGUSTING WHY CAN'T SHE GO TO A TOILET OR SOMETHING EW MY EYES

Nah, I <3 maggie :)
[info]freudian_fuckup 7th-May-2007 02:51 am (UTC)
god, it's coming, i can feel it.

i don't get while it's a big deal. personally, it grosses me out a little (i realize that's unreasonable, but i can't help it)- but who really cares? really?
[info]ex_lovergir 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
Oh fuck. All the Ontd moms are gonna flip out.
[info]whop__dedooo 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
I don't so much care that she fed her baby in public.
But you'd have to be really stupid to do it as a celebrity. Do you *not* see the 5 photographers taking a picture of your boob?
[info]pumpkinpnts 7th-May-2007 02:33 am (UTC)
Actually, it looks like they used an intense and long lens because it's grainy and it looks like they zoomed in quite a bit.
[info]danielle5985 7th-May-2007 02:41 am (UTC)
not only that but if anyone is a fan of maggie's work, she doesn't really fucking care who sees her breasts.

evidence:
like 40 minutes of sherrybaby
secretary
happy endings (almost)
every time she shows up somewhere without a bra

[info]witnessthine 7th-May-2007 02:43 am (UTC)
she's breastfeeding her baby...i doubt the pics will pop up on any celeb nudie sites.
[info]keeponwaiting 7th-May-2007 02:47 am (UTC)
I don't think she really cares, tbh.
[info]bettybites 7th-May-2007 03:09 am (UTC)
Why do you have to be stupid to do it as a celeb? Maybe she doesn't give a fuck. And why should she?
[info]zgirl714 7th-May-2007 03:48 am (UTC)
Its great that she is thinking of her baby instead of the paparazzi.
[info]miss_pants 7th-May-2007 05:27 am (UTC)
. . and? I'm sure she cares more about feeding her baby, then the possibility of half her boob winding up on ONTD.
[info]amativus 7th-May-2007 11:14 am (UTC)
Yeah but so what? She clearly considers breastfeeding a nonsexual, natural thing, so why would she mind if the tabs get it?
[info]vendettav 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
I'M YOUR SECRETARY

Exactly. Maggie has earned my endless love after that movie. Anything she does is cool in my book.
[info]just_shoe_me 7th-May-2007 02:39 am (UTC)
HOT.
[info]rubyredmangos 7th-May-2007 03:14 am (UTC)
Oh god that movie is sooo hot. I have that movie and always have to keep myself from watching it too much :)
[info]kitschy 7th-May-2007 03:19 am (UTC)
I need that job.
[info]dirt_andpretty 7th-May-2007 05:23 am (UTC)
i need that job if james spader is the boss.
[info]fioredimerda 7th-May-2007 09:19 am (UTC)
Fuck I love Spader!
[info]_bump 7th-May-2007 03:37 pm (UTC)
my thoughts exactly.
[info]sleepy_tears7 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
Isn't this a totally natural, totally normal thing to do?
Isn't breast feeding better for the kid anyway?
And what would you like her to do, tell her infant daughter "im sorry sweetie you cant eat right now we're in public?"
What is the issue??? I don't see it.
[info]strangeralmanac 7th-May-2007 02:32 am (UTC)
Some people are morons, bred in an extremely conservative environment, who believe any tiny flash of skin is clearly unnatural, immoral, and going to corrupt the minds of the youth.
[info]eppard_love 7th-May-2007 04:12 am (UTC)
hmm, wrong.

showing your entire breast in public is not a TINY flash of skin.

nice try.
[info]zanzou_chan 7th-May-2007 02:43 am (UTC)
It just makes me uncomfortable-- it seems private, to me.
[info]croutonochrist 7th-May-2007 03:12 am (UTC)
Nobody has said you can't feed your child in public......just cover it up. Realize that not everyone is comfortable seeing that.
[info]princessjxoxo 7th-May-2007 10:09 pm (UTC)
yes it's natural. yes it's better for the kid. it's also a relatively effective birth control.

and seriously? it's a boob. i don't know why people would get worked up about this.
[info]chamilllionare 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
omg famous people aren't allowed to do normal things ok. and im not kidding.
[info]zulkey this whole argument is tired7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
blah blah my right blah blah it's disgusting.

CHILDREN ARE BORING
[info]zulkey Re: this whole argument is tired7th-May-2007 02:32 am (UTC)
you know what though I will say that's a beautiful photo. If I were here I'd frame that.
[info]njuzu 7th-May-2007 02:31 am (UTC)
People get into such huge debates about breastfeeding!

My POV:
1) Biologically, that's why breasts exist so people should not get so uptight about public breastfeeding.

2) Breastfeeding is healthy, but if a women decides not to do it people don't need to get on a high horse and jump down her throat.
[info]njuzu 7th-May-2007 02:32 am (UTC)
a womAn. Oops. After studying chemistry for ten hours I've forgotten how to speak English.
[info]nodisrespect 7th-May-2007 02:33 am (UTC)
i hate finals.
[info]numb_crystal 7th-May-2007 02:40 am (UTC)
that's a good way of looking at it
[info]keeponwaiting 7th-May-2007 02:49 am (UTC)
I agree, people can't just mind their fucking business!
and ugh, I feel for you, chem sucks :(
[info]gefingerpoken 7th-May-2007 06:17 am (UTC)
2) Breastfeeding is healthy, but if a women decides not to do it people don't need to get on a high horse and jump down her throat.

FUCKING YES. THANK YOU.

I hate how some people think that breastfeeding automatically = Good Mother.
