American society is soooo deranged sometimes... a manufacturer has come out with a breast feeding baby doll, [edit: it makes nursing noises... it does not actually suck] and the media is going nuts... outlets like CNN are just shy of calling it perverse.
A hilarious quote in the CNN story "Just let girls be girls."
Um... they are. Girls have boobs... for breastfeeding. Our society is so enculturated that boobs are for pleasure we are mocking the concept that they are actually for nurturing a baby.
"Now that under-age sex and pregnancies are reaching shocking proportions, let's have a doll which encourages children to … get pregnant!"
REALLY? This baby doll is encouraging girls to get pregnant? And how do all the other billions of play baby dolls not convey the same message? Where'd that baby doll come from, you little slut!
Personally, I think it's a great doll, and will likely get one for my daughter. I'd rather teach her the message to feed her baby doll the healthy natural way like mommy does with the real baby, than to teach her to rely on expensive less-healthy industrial manufactured bottle milk which requires also mixing, heating, cleaning, and sterilizing. Were it not an extremely profitiable industry pushed by massive advertising, we wouldn't even be having this concern.
What a wierd thing for the media to be getting all bug-a-bood about.
