SO...I was reading this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ce-fridge.html (more importantly, I made the mistake of reading the comments)
And we'll ignore the "look at her face" and the "you women are just a bunch of whiners" and "why don't you quit and find somewhere else to work" comments (because it only doubles down of how very sexist they really are) and get straight to this gem:
"Pretty disgusting storing your own breast milk in a communal fridge. No wonder her co-workers commented on it. Now she's trying to cash in with her book"
and
"I mean why did she do that.... Did she use a machine in the office? Bring by car to fill a space in the office fridge? I find it abhorrent that a workers bodily fluids were kept in a communal fridge."
and my personal fave, from someone who claims to be female...but obviously has no clue about the reality of how the female body works
"As a woman I find this story gross!!!! Women insist of being treated equal but still INSIST of opened doors, women first and all of that! Who cares! Be a woman. be proud and keep your dignity! You want to drink your own breastmilk YUK but your choice, do it with consideration for others!"
REALLY?!?! WTF is WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?
Freaking out over storing breast milk in the fridge? Its not like someone took a crap and put it in the fridge. Where else is it SUPPOSED TO GO?
Are you all in the 7th grade or something?!?
You see, breast milk needs to be kept cold to keep it from going bad. If it goes bad, then the baby can't drink it after the mother goes home. And she can't just hold it in, because it effing HURTS and can cause problems. And she's not going to dump it out to save your pathetic whiner sensibilities because pumping is an utterly miserable lot of work to go through to feed your baby. If you are so infantile that you are grossed out by this most natural of FOODS being kept next to your salad or casserole until it can be taken home and fed to the baby, MAYBE you shouldn't be the jerk that steals people's stuff and eats it.
By the way, I will give the Navy props for this. On both of my ships, the couple of women that might be underway and were still breast feeding were actually given time and privacy and space to do so...AND...they stored the breast milk in the freezer with the ice cream.
