I put this up on Twitter, but those of you who don’t follow me there will still find this….
I can’t find a word for what this is.
I hope it’s a joke.
Here’s the text in case the picture is too small:
Mothers who breastfeed boy babies need to stop. We need to empower more females in this world and by breastfeeding them we are giving them a good start in life which they deserve over a baby boy [sic] which are already physically stronger than baby girls. I have feminist views and I am not ashamed to admit that. No baby boy will ever be fed from my breasts if I am unfortunate enough to have a son. Formula for him and circumcision to take away sexual pleasure from him when he grows up.

That has to be a parody, someone trying to make Feminists look bad (as though they don’t do that well enough on their own).
If that’s legit, the woman who said it should immediately have any children she has taken away as an abusive mother, and perhaps should have female circumcision performed on her, to “reduce sexual pleasure”.

Although I was the first to suggest it may be fake, I should note that there is documentation of feminists who say things like this and mean it in all sincerity. You’ll find it, amongst other places, in the Agent Orange File. Thus invoking the very real question: real, or not-real?

While this is quite probably a troll, it is a sentiment I have seen on some of the more extreme RadFem blogs, so I wouldn’t dismiss it out of hand. It’s really just a logical extension of feminism’s hatred of men (not that feminism is particularly susceptible to logic…)

The right to say it, yes, absolutely. The right to DO it…. Oh crap, that’s a yes too. Many mothers do these things, out of ignorance. But to do so out of malice… *shudder*. That’s not a mother. That’s a monster.
I’ve heard this before too, and the assumption was that it’s a troll. While some people might genuinely think like this, I’d guess those people would ‘just’ abort when they discovered the sex. So I’m gonna assume troll. (Hey, if it lets me sleep at night…)
As an interesting side, I’m 99% sure that it’s not true that baby boys are stronger than baby girls. I seem to recollect reading once that breastfeeding is even more important for male infants than for females. But maybe that was taking into account that males are more likely to have parts of their genitals amputated and so are more vulnerable to infection etc.

At best a troll and at worst a red herring to set us off away from more important things. Much as I enjoy JB beating up on the latest excesses of Jezebel feminism, it’s important to keep focused on what mainstream culture has taken as ‘given’. So many even smart people accept the 77 cent dollar myth and’ rape culture’. So many agree that women are underprivileged and men have it all.
Dumping on this breastfeeding troll won’t get rise from those whom we’re trying to change. They’d agree.

I was raised by a woman who gave me a gender neutral name because she was a feminist. She raised me without many of the standard boys toys like toy guns and legos. To this day, she complains every time I fix my own car because it’s “macho”, constantly nagging me to take it to a mechanic instead. So I believe this woman could exist. It may be an internet meme for now, because I have seen it before long ago, but I do believe this woman exists. It may be only slightly exaggerated from the original post.

Agreed.
The real danger is not some loony who doesn’t even mask her hatred of the male gender (because even feminists will distance themselves of her, just to avoid looking bad), but the hard wired myths perpetuated by feminism that generate misandry (both cultural and institutionalized) as a result.

I am not surprised, shocked and disgusted all at once.
I am not surprised because I have long believed in woman’s deep capacity for hatred and evil intent. Women are fully equal with men in this regard.
I am shocked because so many commenting on here find it hard to believe.
Funnily enough, I used to think that made me a feminist – but then I discovered feminist writings like Jezebel online and discovered that I was never really a true feminist. Then I went looking for a kickback from men and then I found a link to this blog.
I’m not so sure it would be so hard to believe if the genders were reversed. We find it so hard to swallow the fact that a woman can hate, abuse and neglect her own child that women walk from court scot free all the time – or at least get a reduced sentence because she must have been led by the nose by an evil man whom she was afraid of. Or you hear so often that a female criminal was “under the spell” of a man who must’ve “made her do it”.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
It makes me so angry that women get away with these things all the time because we are seen as innocent and childlike.

Scumbag, although that feels like a weak epithet.
And the assumption that breast feeding is a zero sum game is just bizarre – unless she had fraternal twins it’s not like there would be a choice of whether to allocate her resources to a boy or a girl (even then, you’ve got two boobs, so it’s still not an either/or).
I’m not sure if this is a troll or not, but I am sure there are evil bitches who think just like this. I’ve encountered the screwed up men they’ve raised and heard the “I wanted a girl instead of you” stories.

One of the most (in)famous quotes from german proto-feminist Alice Schwarzer “We have to make it harder for our boys so our girls have it easier.”
It’s not an uncommon trope among radfems, yet it’s often not spelled out this clear.
There’s an ancient (well, 1986) german article from Schwarzer’s magazine “Emma” that goes even further, by a feminist mom who gleefully discribes how she tormented her son in great detail.
