clementmoraschi: pheonix-cousin-of-phoenix: clodhoppers: evilfeminist: doulaness: midwifeinwaiting: doulaness: I’m so sick of this male midwife dood up in the midwifery tag ALL DAY EVERY DAY. That’s exactly what breastfeeding is like. Great latch and everything! I would totally have him teach me how to breastfeed. No good reason for a dude to go into this field. Nope nope NOPE. What the holy fuck does he think he is “teaching?” How to hold a fucking baby tilted towards himself? MEN. SERIOUSLY. When feminists, go full circle and start enforcing gender binary and shame someone breaking out of tradition, great job. This guy, Lyall, is a friend of mine. He’s a midwife. Men are midwives. Part of a midwife’s job is to teach things to expectant mothers things they will need to know. He’s a great guy too. All y’all can go fuck yourselves with a shovel :) I like how Doulaness didn’t bother reblogging him though, just screencapped to be all passive and secret so he wouldn’t see how they’re an asshole.

Not just midwives, but most nurses, male…female…transgendered or any other option…learn about maternity nursing in America, and we need to know how to teach basics to new mothers. It is not a gender issue, it is a professional responsibility. As a RN in training, I was the only one in my clinical group who was able to teach latch and breast feeding effectively, and to an 18 year old. thank you.
