Feminist Pride Day 2012

Hi! I’m Tanya -mother and feminist. I blog about what it means to me to be both. I’m a lactivist and an intactivist. I believe with confidence and the right support all women can and should breastfeed their babies, in the genital integrity of all children, in attachment parenting, in sex education, birth control, and in a womans right to govern not only her own reproduction but also her birthing experience. Childbirth is not the medical emergency it is portrayed to be. A home birth is safer for mother and baby. Feminism is rooted in social work, if we can all learn to embrace our biology by empowering -with knowledge- the maternal feminist in us all, womanhood would be refined as our missions become one.
