Spotted recently at a place of work;
An accreditation that the workplace is “breastfeeding friendly”?
Okaaaaaay.
What’s going on here, do we think?
Surely very few people in 2018 would be so vehemently against helping mothers to continue breastfeeding for as long as they wish after childbirth (well, perhaps not too long that the child could write a letter in cursive script requesting a portion)?
So why the need for an accreditation agency to provide fancy certificates which, in effect, do little but state that, “this employer isn’t a dickhead about breastfeeding“?
Well, perhaps it’s something to do with the fact that one has to pay to be accredited?
The website is suspiciously cagey about how much this accreditation will cost. “Call us for a quote” for a service that can’t be much more than a quick visit to the dedicated room and a browse of the written policy?
Hmm, smells like a scam.
Bill’s Opinion
As we’ve seen with monopolies on virtue signalling, such as White Ribbon, what begins as a laudable idea soon takes on a momentum and becomes self-justifying. The moment fees are charged for the charity’s official seal of approval, it can be fairly certain that the charity has corrupted its purpose.
In fact, the ABA isn’t actually a charity at all, it’s a private “training” business that receives revenue from two almost equal sources; the fees from its protection racket and generous donations from the Australian taxpayer;
“That’s a nice business you’ve got there, it’d be a shame if anything happened to it like a negative press campaign about being a bad place for young mothers to work“….
Have you ever worked in an office where all the women are as hot as those in their ad? Bit lookist, isn’t it?
“Lookist”. That’ll be a thing eventually too.
Like transgender people complaining people of their original sex don’t find them attractive.
The first thing I did was check out her partly covered, well formed and nicely supported knockers.
“Knockers”?
Is this 1979?
In a day and age when a morally degraded society openly discuss as if it is was a game of tiddlywinks the genital mutilation of a young males penis to a vagina, some of us more conservative type of standard bearers will always hold the line through the preservation and promotion of what is good about our society and the cultures and traditions that were formed over thousands of years of civilization and one that our forefathers fought and died for.

By referring to mammary glands as “knockers”?
Ha!
I’m with Bardon here.
No word ever goes out of style unless and until the meaning is lost on those who hear it. And you shouldn’t wordshame Bardon besides. Especially not such a glorious word like Knockers.
Also, she *does* have a great rack.
I’m visualising you and Bardon in matching checked brown flared trousers, purple paisley shirts and kipper ties.
I still use the term nice “hairdo” when appropriate as well.

Heard any good beat combos on the wireless recently?
Nice operating loss. No doubt an increase in wages, notwithstanding non-grant revenue declined.
Quite.
“I proposed a motion that we all receive our full bonus entitlement this year and a 5% raise. Seconded? Thanks. All those in favour? Passed”.
Does this also mean a workplace where the grubby little sprogs are close at hand? Thanks, but I’ll pass.
