Facebook & Facebook breastfeeding petition [long]

[MilkyMama]

Sorry I didn't know if I should post this here or in Deep Discussions...

Anyhow, this is a C&P from another site I frequent and Emma is an online friend of mine.

*******************

For those of you that haven't heard yet (is there anyone?) Facebook is deleting pics of women breastfeeding their children. If this outrages you, please join the petition group to send them the message that breastfeeding isn't obscene:

And for those of you who know KM/Emma, her facebook account was completely deleted due to her having posted breastfeeding pics on Facebook. She is now in the middle of a great "awareness" campaign and sent this letter (below) that she would like us to share and post as much as possible:

Go Emma! Deleting nursing pictures should be against some law, somewhere. I remember the same debacle on Livejournal I think? Beyond lame.

And yet they haven't deleted/disabled pictures of full frontal nudity (seductive), or groups such as "Sex" and "Anal" that you can become 'fans' of.

Ya I find that odd ... just love the message that continues to be sent in our society that it is ok to oogle the female breast when it is being toted only as a sexual object but god forbid we remind people of its 'other' beautiful and natural function

So true. And I assume bottlefeeding pics are not deleted.
