Jamie Oliver Mansplaining - Shots fired.

[Bubbs]

Jamie Oliver has pissed off a lot of women for telling them he thinks breast feeding is best -

From what I understand of breastfeeding, there's no actual definitive scientific proof that it is "best".
There is a lot of noise made by the believers, but no proof.

Breast feeding is also a volatile subject as not all babies / mothers can do it. Some babies just won't latch on properly, no matter what. The breast is best squad will pretty much label those mothers as failures who are damaging their children, which is just what you need when you're being overwhelmed with a newborn and desperately trying to do everything right.
If you go on any maternity course you will at some point get breastfeeding is best pummeled into you. Once the kids born you do whatever works best. My wife breastfed for a couple of months before moving onto bottles. Her friends child lost loads of weight and went back into hospital because he wasn't taking the breast and she refused to go to a bottle, cos must breast feed brainwashed.

As far as I can see he's stating opinion as fact on a highly emotive subject. Not in the least surprised at the rage.

To be honest it is a fair, breastfeeding vs not breastfeeding is a perfectly legitimate debate to be having.

I only picked up on the part where Jamie Oliver was told to stop mansplaining his personal opinion.

Also, to say he shouldn't use his 'position of influence' to promote things that aren't nice for some people... Well, newspapers, politicians and certain TV shows do that every single day!

Well at least now we will have a load of women getting their tits out at the school gate to feed their kids.

ouch that's a bit harsh Grr, I have worked since I was 16, brought up two daughters, been a single parent for several years and dealt with three separate cancers, Im now in my fifties and fat and I dont even go near junk food. I dont think I had a particularly easy laid back life apart from my stint in Saudi where I had hired staff to do the cleaning etc. I was too busy scuba diving all the time and partying then. My ex husband sat on his arse telling people what to do for a living.

PS breast feeding aside, its a personal choice, i think Jamie Oliver is a smug sanctimonious cunt.

There are always exceptions. You sound FAB!
It was a broad brush, aimed at the majority I see floating around during my quieter days when I am between jobs/properties.
I see it as only fair since my wife has to turn up at a workplace every day to fully run the house when I am available to do so.
I also deal with the blokey jobs and maintenance of our home during these periods as a lot of the time I am working
on properties for my business so our own home takes a back burner a lot of the time, there's always something to fix.
She does an office job, is 33 and still looks like she did when she was 18 (when I first got with her) but to do that
she does a variety of activities to stay in shape, including bouldering, Scuba diving, water skiing, zumba, yoga,
circus acrobat classes, poledancing and general fitness training. I always notice a bit extra around my middle if I am
stuck on house duties for a couple of months, it always comes off quickly when I get back to work though.

I don't like Jamie Oliver either. I prefer Tom Kerridge.
