Breasts on Facebook?

Brace yourselves. What I say next may shock you. Ready? Okay:

There were breasts on Facebook.

Don't panic! Breathe. Stay with me. The good news is, Facebook acted decisively and removed ALL of the...

Wait, hang on.

Okay, I'm being told they didn't remove all of the pictures of breasts. Apparently, they removed pictures of a woman breast-feeding and banned the woman in question from Facebook.

Now, even most prudes would find it hard to condemn breast-feeding as obscene. See, contrary to popular (read, male) opinion, breasts actually serve another purpose besides being sexually arousing. In deleting the pictures, Facebook was focusing on the nudity of said breasts, and many commentators are making the same mistake. Instead of saying "Facebook deletes pictures of woman's breasts", how about "Facebook deletes pictures of woman feeding her baby". That's all that that picture was about, a baby being fed. How much more innocuous can you get?
