Hello Beautiful Hearts.
Last night, for the first time, I have been found in breech of community standards on facebook.
I was locked out of my account and was threatened with shut down of my page if I did not comply with these standards.
The ‘standard’ I breeched was this:
and the image that caused the breech was this:
You see, nipples are a problem.
This is my facebook page. update: You will no longer find me on facebook
It is about Informed Birth Preparation, and I also share articles about parenting. It is a positive and supportive space. I have NEVER experienced this kind of response.
That a nipple might be ‘culturally or age sensitive’ seems bizarre to me. The above seems to imply that it is only female nipples that are an issue. If a culture or age group as an issue with female nipples, this calls into question that culture or age!
Seriously. IT IS JUST A NIPPLE!
Hands up if you were born with nipples!
Reblogged this on Beautiful Heart and commented:
whoops….i did it again. This time the photo was of me with my newborn…so I was holding a baby, but as the baby was not breastfeeding, my nipple was offensive.
