One ad opens on Maryland Democratic gubernatorial candidate Krish Vignarajah breastfeeding her baby and talking about the lack of women in state and federal elected office in her state.
In the other, Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kelda Roys feeds her infant daughter while talking about how she worked to help Wisconsin ban BPA, a chemical found in plastics, which some scientists have suggested is linked to health problems.
Breastfeeding may be as old as humanity, but doing so openly is rare in the world of political campaigns. As more women flood into politics, the videos represent one way that they are increasingly willing to break the mold of the standard candidate, almost entirely shaped by men, and more fully reflect womanhood in their campaigns.
As a woman, I wouldn't vote for a breastfeeding candidate for governor or the majority of public offices. She should be at home taking care of her infant for at least the first few years. I would consider her delinquent in her role as a mother.
BTW has she made a statement indicating that her husband will be the stay-at-home parent?
If anything, Americans need to spend more time at home with their children, not less.
Why people still get so worked up at the sight of a boob is beyond me.
In places like Saudi Arabia, a mere glimpse of a woman's ankle is enough to make most men extremely sexually aroused because in that cultural, it is sinful for women to show any skin at all.

Give her a break. She had to serve 24/7 as the host for the creature growing inside, subsisting off her nutrients.
I don't blame her at all for wanting her husband to deal with the screaming baby during the day once it's out her body.
Is she going to take the baby to the office? Or, is she going to pump and leave the milk in the freezer? Is her husband or the grandmother going to stay home and care for the baby? The baby needs a loving family member 24/7, they aren't a prop.
