EM: How is a mother feeding her child "controversial"?

 

Hustle up you guys, we need to have an emergency “The Voice” meeting. Bring it in and take a knee.

Last night, a contestant by the name of Dallas James performed in a spectacular fashion and found himself on Team Joel.

Yatzee!

After Dallas had finished performing, he made his way back to the greenroom to his support crew; his partner Ingrid and his two-year-old son Tashi. As he entered the room the camera momentarily flashed on Ingrid and she was breastfeeding.

Here’s the clip.

And sure as Lindsay Lohan will get another bout of “exhaustion” before the year is through, the internet lost its tiny mind. The well worn “breastfeeding debate” was ignited and why are we still talking about this?

There should be NO fecking debate on this.

Kid is hungry, kid doesn’t give a red hot turd where it is, mum needs to feed the kid, mum has every right to whop out her wham-mamma-jammers and shove them in her kid’s gob. End of story.

This story has made it all the way to the UK press where the footage is being called “controversial”. How is a mother feeding her child in any way controversial? Unless one of her boobs is a dodgy plumber ripping off old people or the kid was 35 and giving the Nazi salute during the feeding, it really should have been a non-event.

 

 

If it made you uncomfortable, perhaps you should shine the light inwards and ask why that may be? Because the problem sits 10000000% with you in this situation. If you feel like it’s a sexual thing, I can assure you there is nothing sexual about chapped, lactating breasts. I am rolling my eyes at me having to even type these words, yet here we are. That all being said, there were a heap of positive tweets about this situation as well.

I guess I just yearn for a time where it doesn’t attract any comment at all. Ladies have been breastfeeding their spawn since the dawn of time, it has been thousands of years, isn’t it time we all got over it?!

I bet Ricky didn’t bat an eyelid. I heard he had milk glands inserted into his rock hard pecs and prosthetic nipples attached so that he may feed the twins the breast milk he had synthesised from the tears of an albino baby panda.

Oh you bet your sweet arse Ricky is on board with the breastfeeding.

The last word will go to the man who just wanted to audition to try and get a better life for his family. When asked how he felt about Ch 9 showing the footage Dallas James said: “It was Ingrid’s decision to do that in the moment and I support her and I support all women who want to breastfeed in public. It’s their choice.”

*Slows Claps*

Oh well said kind sir, bravo.

Here are a few of our favourite moments from The Voice:

Are you with Em and wondering why we’re still having this conversation?
