Depending upon whom you believe, August is either "Breastfeeding Awareness Month," "Breastfeeding Promotion Month," "Breastfeeding Success Month," "World Breastfeeding Month" or "Saint Suckle's Eve."
OK, so we just made up that last one.
But all of the rest are bona fide designations, used in actual various national publications recently. But whatever you call it, one thing is clear: The month of August has been set aside to celebrate that most basic of human liberties -- a woman's right to free expression.
Of breast milk.
Leading the charge are angry groups of lactating activists, who've cleverly christened themselves "lactivists." One particularly organized group of these lactivists even has its own Web site, www.lactivists.org. It's a site that they claim is dedicated to "those who are uncomfortable with public breastfeeding."

You know, I used to get very upset by the term "boob nazi." I hink it's appalling, and that the mouth uttering it needs a good scrubbing out with some nasty-flavored industrial grade bar soap.
But I've ome to realize something -that most of the folks tossing that phrase around do so because they simply can't come up with anything intelligent to say. It's the equivalent of, "Yeah... well... um... you're STOOPID and your momma wears combat boots."
I'm all for healthy debate and thoughtful discussions. But I'm not wasting energy on these name-calling exchanges. There is too much real work to be done.
