Sexist Author Jason Mattera: NO to Breastfeeding…

Certified sexist Jason Materra doesn’t think that working mothers have the right to breastfeed.
Oregon Live reports:
He recently gave himself some publicity by posting some highly edited video on YouTube of himself questioning Minnesota Senator Al Franken about some provisions in the health care bill and repeatedly interrupting while Franken tried to answer. Mattera apparently has serious problems with government investment into public health as well as mandates for employers to provide time for breastfeeding mothers to………………you guessed it, breast feed or to express milk to take home to their baby.
Mr. Mattera doesn’t believe that women should be given the time out at work to express breast milk to give to their babies at home. This despite the reams of evidence on the benefits of breastfeeding for our young children. Perhaps Mr. Mattera, the conservative dude, doesn’t care about the well being of mothers and their children?
Does anyone else sense a pattern here?
Don’t forget to call Jason’s publicist and DEMAND an apology for his sexist remarks. And spread the word to everyone that you know to call and boycott his book until he apologizes!

Liberal Dude Nation, Conservative Dude Nation, one and the same. What an a$$.
His mother must be so proud!
Especially given her son is a stellar argument for retroactive birth control.
As far as he’s concerned, you either jiggle them in HIS face, or you don’t take them out at all. Typical sexist jackass.
“Liberal Dude Nation, Conservative Dude Nation, one and the same.”
My thoughts exactly. No difference. None whatsoever.
