Here we go again. Another day, another mother shamed for breastfeeding in public. But this time, people are taking it further than just asking the mother to cover up. She says people are calling her a slut, and she thinks it’s because she’s got big breasts.
Guess what? It doesn’t matter how big the body. How and when to breastfeed a baby is no one business but the mother’s. TikTok mom @mscalciumcannons98 doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks about her breastfeeding her toddler in public.
The mom proudly displays her breastfeeding on TikTok.
We will admit these are no ordinary breasts. Ms. Calcium has extremely large breasts. But that isn’t stopping her from letting the world see what breastfeeding looks like. She often posts videos on TikTok of her breastfeeding and pumping breast milk, and it is obvious this momma isn’t here for anyone’s BS.
Ms. Calcium breastfeeds her son whenever he is hungry.
As soon as her son expresses hunger, she feeds him. That could be at the park, the grocery store, or the airport. Of course, that's what on-demand feeding is all about. And she doesn't care what you have to say about it.
It seems to be that the issue with her breastfeeding is the size of her breasts, though — people don’t want to see them. Would they feel the same way if she had smaller breasts? Maybe.
It's the slut-shaming that is out of control.
Ms. Calcium has two versions of the same video with different takes. In the first, which has 14.4 million views, she asks, “Are you going to arrest me? Are you going to give me a ticket?”
Girl, if they did, things would get very ugly very quickly.
The second version has 3.7 million views, and the text reads, “The fact that people think feeding my baby makes me a sloot is outrageous.” It is dubbed with a song that sings, “Entering my slut area.”
The shaming got so out of control that Ms. Calcium turned off comments on all her videos.
The comment sections were on fire.
Ms. Calcium turned off comments on TikTok because people just couldn’t keep it to themselves. The New York Post was able to grab a few screenshots before she eliminated the option to comment, however.
“Arrest her for indecent exposure,” someone wrote.
“Only dogs would do this kind of s—,” another person wrote.
Of course, there were advocates who want her to keep doing what she is doing.
“That’s right, mama. Feed your baby. If you had smaller breast, these comments would be different,” one person wrote.
“WTF else is the kid supposed to do? Starve?” someone else asked.
She also maintains an Instagram account.
This may be where some people are confusing things. Ms. Calcium’s Instagram feed is filled with photos of her in lingerie and in provocative poses but also includes posts of her nursing her son. We wonder if this is where people actually form their opinions of her.
She can post whatever she wants, though, and still, people shouldn't feel like they can throw slurs at her. Under no circumstances does this make her breastfeeding unnatural or sexual. She's using her breasts for what they were made to do — feed a child — and if she feels comfortable showing off her body in other ways, that is also not up to anyone to decide.
Ms. Calcium is normalizing breastfeeding, period.
This is not about sex with Ms. Calcium or anyone else. Breastfeeding is exactly what it sounds like: feeding from the breast. For mothers who can do it, it is a great way to provide nutrients to their children.
Trust us. Many moms out there would love to be able to do what Ms. Calcium is able to do for her child. Leave it alone, people. Get your minds out of the gutter and keep your opinions to yourselves.
