...this new horror in the war on women.
It's coming from women who identify as men, and do not want female words used to describe their (very female) anatomy and bodily functions.
Correct me if I am wrong, but don't men have breast tissue too? So no matter what, we're talking about something both sexes have here and its purpose is to produce milk ... it's just not something that happens in biological men unless there's something very, very wrong.

Men can and do produce milk if they have a surplus of prolactin. As a mental health nurse, I've seen schizophrenic men lactate. A side effect of antipsychotics.
Male to female transexuals will lactate after hormone therapy.

Which is unnatural therefore requiring a separate designation like "chest feeding".
Now I get it. Makes sense.

What do you mean by "unnatural"?

Half of the human race have to bow to a tiny, tiny amount of men in dresses? Oh kayyyy
That's the most rude and sexist thing ever if you think about it.
