Amen! Alyssa Milano SCHOOLED Wendy Williams on the importance of breastfeeding, the right to breastfeed in public, the sexualization of the mammary glands that were BUILT to breastfeed and the ridiculous reaction from some in our society -- including Wendy! -- who are offending by a woman feeding her child in public.
After posting several pix of herself breastfeeding her son Milo and daughter Elizabella, the Charmed actress, 43, has become a spokesperson, of sorts, for the cause. She told Wendy on the show Wednesday, "I was surprised by the reaction and I was surprised that I then was then put in this position of being a breastfeeding advocate — which I love, and I take that job with a lot of responsibility. But it was kind of shocking that [people] were so opinionated about something that’s supposed to be so incredibly natural."
Wendy responded by saying, "I don’t need to see that — I just don’t want to. I would go to the car [to breastfeed], not on the bench in the front of the big-box store."
Milano shot back, telling Williams she has sexualized breasts and accusing her of being okay with Miley Cyrus going topless, with suspenders covering her nipples and the VMA Awards but NOT okay with a woman nourishing her baby in public. Wendy admitted she was guilty -- "Yes, they’re [breasts] more sexual than a feeding thing. I don’t know why I feel this way. I just feel like … I’m a mom also, breastfeeding is only a particular amount of time. The rest of the life your breasts are sexual things."
Hey, to each his own ... but baby's need milk and mom's breasts provide milk and you don't need to go sit in your car to feed your child! Preach!
