One more step in the continued pussification of our youth. Its no wonder that all of the little snowflakes are coming up with entitlement issues and a lack of survivability. These kids wouldn't have lasted a day in my neighborhood when I was a kid. These kids need to be told NO once in a while and have their asses slapped when they talk back. Time magazine is only giving these crappy parents validation for their ridiculous behavior.

Erm, that would be a charming image if it was a real baby breast feeding but this child is way too old IMO, fine if the mother wants to continue the practice - that's her right but please don't force this on the public.
This will be staring at us from every grocery and pharmacy checkout.
Another non-issue for the plebes to argue about while the banking mafia goes on their merry way.
I guess we're supposed to just "suck it up" huh?
So who's the real boob here then?
I don't think breasts are pornographic in any way myself but I don't set public standards of decency.

That's disgusting that kid is far too old to be sucking on the ninny, and I thought they took babies from crackheads.
This is sexual abuse and is deplorable...foul...awful taste

Anyone who thinks an image of a woman breastfeeding is 'inappropriate' likely needs a lot of safety gear when they leave the house. It is one of the most natural, normal things around.

. It shows a boy, clearly too old to be breastfeeding, sucking on the breast of a woman, who is presumably the boys mother.
'presumably'? One does not need to 'presume', sir. The article states she is his mother.
"Presume-Suppose that something is the case on the basis of probability" Breastfeed.
Also, 3 is not too old to breastfeed. It's not common, but it's also not unheard of. Many mothers begin weening in the twos, but still allow the child to breastfeed, on occasion into their 3s. Since the Time article is behind a pay wall, we really cant know the context of when and how she breastfeeds.
To me, this seem like child abuse and is clearly inappropriate. The mother, photographer and publisher should be held accountable, but I'm sure they won't be.
Child abuse? Seriously? Would it be puppy abuse to take a picture of a puppy breastfeeding from its mother?
I think feeding a kid soy-based formula is probably closer to child abuse than giving them the milk their mother supplies just for them.
Does femininity frighten you? Were you perhaps not breastfed? Sometimes gay men are scared of boobs. Have you looked into that?edit on 10-5-2012 by stanguilles7 because: (no reason given)
