Add Fatphobia to that medical censorship and you get a level of distrust that pushes women to the internet, now they are using captions - which was developed as an accessibility tool - to let you know what you're mature enough to learn about. The mental gymnastics are too much. Teenage boys are not in charge of the world - It's up to us to make the world grow up.

I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s so disheartening to hear this. I’ve even seen a lot of women in the comments on breastfeeding informational videos that think it’s gross or taboo to talk about or show. They will even compare it to p*rn*gr*phy and say, “We need to protect the children!!” Some will say to put the breast milk in a bottle, or even suggest foregoing breast milk altogether and to use formula! It’s gotten so bad, I’ve even seen an occasional comment like that on DOG BREASTFEEDING VIDEOS!
