To me, her most passionate fans are like her most passionate haters: two sides of the same coin. The complete obsession: love or hate, is just too much. She not above criticism, but she gets a lot of unwarranted criticism, like being friends with MAGA supporters. I get the idea, but you can't go through life shunning everyone just because they're on the other side of the political spectrum.

The other thing some tend to forget is that establishment democrats - your Obamas, Bidens and Harrises, are centralists who whole heartedly support neo-liberal capitalism. I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm a green tinted democratic socialist myself, but if Taylor votes Democrat, she's probably a lot more right leaning that a lesbian who thinks we should completely subsidise baby formula (in the absolute worst case scenario that a mother can't breast feed at all) and burn Trump Tower down to built a women's shelter.

💯

but also what if a mother just doesn't want to breastfeed? i think it's fair enough to make the choice not to. fed is best. and i would be ok with it being subsidized in that case too, as long as the babies are fed.

I'm fed is best - I was a formula baby due to reflux/lactose intolerance, but there's also lot of stigma around formula usage. Like, (this isn't my opinion) you're somehow a failure if you can't do breastfed only. Like, we've come a long way as a species (good or bad) once we eliminated infant death due to starvation through formula. It'll probably get filed under the "only rich people deserve to live" mantra of neo-lib capitalism, but food - I don't care if you're a newborn, a school aged child, a person in their mid-30s or someone past 60 - should be a basic human right, especially if we also live under and economical system that allows Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk to be who they currently are (and I guess Taylor as well), everyone should have access to three square meals a day tailored to their individual nutritional needs, a warm place to sleep and clean water. *Everyone*

TLDR: A lot of crunchy people drawn to socialism are anti-formula feeding due to it not being natural...or whatever. (Not my opinion)

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. A lot of those arguments also rely on misusing statistics. For example, people will point to infant deaths in developing countries linked to formula feeding, but leave out crucial context: it wasn't the formula itself that was inherently unsafe, it was often the lack of access to clean water to prepare it, or the practice of over-diluting formula to make it last longer which left babies malnourished. Using those tragedies as a blanket argument against formula feeding in safe, well-resourced environments is really misleading.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, and those things are incredibly tragic, but we've made some damn ass fat babies through formula feeding her in the west, and from a biological/evolutionary standpoint, that's a good thing.

We just need to stop treating clean water and baby formula (food) as a luxury - when we need it as a species to survive. Especially at our most vulnerable.

I agree. I feel like a lot of women who aren't able to breastfeed, for whatever reason, are shamed or made to feel lesser than. And I think that's so shitty. If a woman is feeding her baby, however she is doing so, then her baby is fed and that's what's important.
