This isn't exactly a news story but I thought I'd post it here since it's so rare to see BFing mentioned on tv, especially in such a positive light.
I don't usually watch Charmed but it was on at the gym while I was working out. I didn't have my headphones on (the closed captioning was on) and missed the first 45 minutes or so of the show. But at the end of the show Phoebe dresses up (or rather, undresses) as Lady Godiva and rides a horse down the middle of a street to a local cafe. Naturally everyone at the cafe stops and stares at her and the owner of the cafe comes out. Phoebe lights into him for telling her sister Piper to cover up or leave because she was BFing her youngest earlier in the show. I wish I could remember all that she had to say because it was great. I was floored!! And thrilled!! The episode is called The Bare Witch Project.
Awesome, a friend sent me a link to the script.

| Phoebe: This man is still living in the eleventh century. He wants women to be barefoot and pregnant and stay at home. He thinks we should be ashamed of breast feeding, the most natural thing in the world. Well, shame on him. I'm not ashamed and neither should you be. (The people cheer.) And it's a shame that women have to take off their clothes to be heard. We shouldn't have to be exploited like this. Right? Everyone: Right! (The waiter takes down the "Management has the right to refuse service to anyone" sign.) Waiter: There. Are you satisfied now? (Everyone cheers.) |
