“A spectacular failure of a father”

I thought this comment on the now infamous Time breastfeeding cover was interesting. Unique. And I appreciate unique.

I had thought this was a spectacular failure of a mother, not necessarily because she chooses to breastfeed that long but because she would subject herself to the objectification this photo brings. Not just herself, but, more importantly, the child, who will always be known as “the kid in the Time cover.” But it could just as well be seen as the spectacular failure of the father, too. Bad parenting, all around.
