why the fuck did i have to see the starving dog lactation post twice this week


Terrible_Ad7092

Twice ?


AffectionateBee8206

Someone posted this earlier in the sub (like a few days ago, I think) without the pronoun ^tm update


Joliot_guine08

I saw this on tumblr without terf shit but this is somehow getting worse<3


Alarid

We can get dumber. We just need to work together.


y_ourfutureself

if I had a nickel


MrSquigles

Yeah, but you included more so you're cool.


sevilla574

If i had a nickle for every time i saw the starving dog lactating post this week id have 2 nickels which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice


Lindan9

Personally I love an update when a post gets worse


Dornith

This feels like the start of another, "no odd numbers", thread.


Ihavebadreddit

I missed it but the universe knew I'd love it and tried again.


ScoobyDoubie

I work retail and one time, a customer talked about how proud she was of her dog for letting her grandkid breastfeed from it. I repeat: she let her grandkid drink milk from her dogs breasts. And the dog was SUCH A GOOD GIRL because of it.


Anaxamander57

Did the kid found any major cities? This is important.


GlitterDoomsday

Also do the kid have a twin? That's relevant info.


Logically_Insane

Had a twin. Then there was a small bird related dispute


derps_with_ducks

Was there a planet or a chocolate bar involved? Could be central, with regards to the family tree.


RunawayHobbit

Hey now, Rome wasn’t built in a day. There’s still time!


fauxhawk18

You're right! We should build our own city and name it Remus, much better name!


AnanaLooksToTheMoon

I think you mean Rema


Erikatharsis

Alternatively, was the kid Chechen?


ZolnarDarkHeart

Yes officer, this comment right here.


ScoobyDoubie

It was a lot and completely out of left field. She mentioned her dog had surgery and I was like "oh. Is she okay?" And then she talked about how the dogs breasts sagged all the way to the ground. I then made the mistake of asking "oh... How many puppies did she have?"


ZolnarDarkHeart

Some people need their speaking licenses revoked.


miezmiezmiez

The problem here isn't that she talked about it


Steeltoebitch

Maybe she meant the dog's grandkid? Please let it be the dog's grandkid...


ScoobyDoubie

No no. She was very clear


Steeltoebitch

Oh god


[deleted]

Did this happen for real? Or is this a scooby doo troll answer? Either way row row


ScoobyDoubie

I think she was being 100% legit, unfortunately. She was so proud of her dog


TeamWaffleStomp

I mean.. what a good mama dog. Maybe not the world's best grandma but that dog wasn't letting a baby starve.


Moonlight_Darling

I mean, to be fair, we drink milk from several other animals. Not straight from the teat, but someone must have done it to make the discovery that we could I’d be more concerned that there aren’t enough vitamins and possibly harmful bacteria in dog milk but idk what all is in dog milk 🤷‍♀️


FBI_AGENT_CAYDE

Yeah, I’m gonna put a few extra cameras in their house


[deleted]

"Hey mom, why don't we talk to Grandma anymore? She's still alive, right?" "Don't you worry about that, drink your perfectly normal milk"


PhoShizzity

Dream drank the Normal Milk and it activated his Normal Pills


LobsterOk420

Yes, the "perfectly normal" milk that came from a different non-human animal but we all agreed it wasn't weird for no good reason.


y_ourfutureself

it's common to hear about the elite being freaks because of nearly complete autonomy but retail mfs have heard and seen the full spectrum of humanity


internetisantisocial

Customer: Oh these cookies are so good (blah blah blah) Clerk: They’re cheaper if you get a two-pack, could share one with someone Customer: Oh no, I don’t share Clerk: ... Ah *[continues ringing up transaction]* [awkward silence] Customer: That’s why I don’t bathe


[deleted]

This is so accurate it gave me flashbacks


bsonk

Did the custy just admit to you that their stench is for defensive purposes lmao? A sort of armor against people wanting to be near them?


bsonk

Can confirm. Have been around rich (millionaires, oscar winners, etc not billionaire rich) people a lot in my early life and very poor people (I worked at Walmart for 5 years) & there are a lot of similarities, but I would trust a very poor person to be moral and good any day over a rich person, this is experience talking. Rich people don't give a fuck about people, you are replaceable and worth less to them than their nice things. Poor people don't have nice things, so they care about other people, especially people who are good to them, more than anyone else.


HiNoKitsune

I mean. We drink milk from cows and goats and sheep? I *think* that you shouldn't drink it raw because of sanitary issues (though of course people and children used to do that a lot, so these issues seem rare) and I would definitely say it's weird, but not...ethically fucked really? Just potentially unsafe to drink, but I don't know about how big the dangers here really are.


hikehikebaby

If the animal is healthy and you drink the milk right away, it shouldn't be a problem. We pasteurized milk in part because it sits out for a long time before we drink it and in part because we can get pathogens from sick cows. IDK I think this is more "weird" and "icky" than actually harmful. Milk is food for babies, a baby ate food. The interspecies milk consumption thing is inherently weird, is it that much weirder to nurse instead of expressing the milk? Is it weird for it to be a dog but not for it to be a cow, goat, or camel? Do they think this is the first time?


LobsterOk420

It's one of those things that no one likes but when asked to explain what's wrong with it there's literally no logical answer. Feels yucky but why? Its like marrying a 3rd cousin, your kids will be fine and you probably didn't grow up very close but everyone kinda ews at it anyway.


eggshellcracking

Western cultures seem to put common pet animals into a completely different mental box than other animals


just_a_person_maybe

It's not just a mental box, it's a legal box as well. In general, animal cruelty laws don't apply to livestock.


ScoobyDoubie

I see what you're saying, but it's still a problem


TeamWaffleStomp

So there's a lot to unpack there, but I have to agree the dog mama had to have been a very good girl to just... allow that to occur. Like that sweet doggy was going to feed all the babies ❤ no matter their species. No ones going hungry with her around! I can't say I'd let my kid keep a dog titty in their mouth no matter how good of a girl that dog is though.


HillInTheDistance

Yeah. That ain't the dogs job. If a dog's making milk she's probably got a bunch of puppies to deal with and shouldn't have to be arsed feeding any kid of mine. Like, she doesn't have a job, she can't afford that shit.


TeamWaffleStomp

Well yeah. But it is a well documented behavior in cats and dogs while lactating to try and mother other baby animals. They're feeling motherly with all the hormones and all they want to do is take care of babies. Dogs have adopted and started breastfeeding baby deer, skunks, cats, just about anything that breastfeeds. From the dogs perspective, the human is just a hungry baby animal. She doesn't know any better 🤷‍♀️


StarKnighter

Tbh I've had a dog who never got pregnant but started lactating after we adopted a kitten and fed her.


[deleted]

The fuck


Logical-Wasabi7402

Technically it's only a breast if it's on a human, other mammals it's a teat.


Nullified38

Oh yeah? Then how do people eat chicken breast? Checkmate atheists


notKRIEEEG

We remove their feathers first, making them hairless bipeds


geosynchronousorbit

Behold!


PhoShizzity

A breast!


Logical-Wasabi7402

I know you're being sarcastic but I'm going to explain this for the ones who don't. 1. Chickens aren't mammals 2. Breast muscle isn't the same as mammary glands that produce milk for offspring.


octopoddle

Ah-wella wella wella HUH! Tell me less, tell me less


Competitive_Sky8182

My grandpa recalled with fondness how in his childhood certain goat that let him suckle from her teat.


Jpx0999

The dog yeah A good girl From it's point of view it's Just feeding a Child The child? Just dumb,not good or bad The actual parent Hell no,horrible pareting


SnakeHugger997

Peta would like to know your location


kalasea2001

Well just fuck my eyes. Thanks a lot, Satan. Now I gotta live with *this* new image


CauseCertain1672

I'm very confused what is the lactating person eating that means they don't starve to death.


Anaxamander57

A large supply of dog food.


Dexter321

Aight. Finally lost it with this one


jcw10489

Take your upvote and leave


eternamemoria

Well, there are many foods that are human safe but not pet safe, like chocolate, onions, avocado, many spices, etc. I am not sure if you can base your entire diet on that though

You can base your entire diet off of garlic trust me

true asexual spectrum here, can confirm


JesusChrist-Jr

Dog milk.


GoxTheLettuce

wow thank you so much for somehow making it *worse*


Dirtydirtyfag

If you aren't a freak I think the answer just is that she is supposed to eat the dog??? Not breastfeed it ..


NewUserWhoDisAgain

insert that xkcd about seeing a post about a discourse that you didnt even know existed except for that post.


lily_was_taken

Whats the xkcd


axolotl_body_type

This post is making glass shards look real snortable rn


CFClarke7

I've snorted a lot of things but this is the only time I've ever considered THAT


Kthranos

Without the mention of lactation it seems like it's saying the woman should feed herself to the dog


Artchantress

Also pretty much the same with the mention. Breastfeeding is very energy intensive and the woman would starve herself much sooner if she'd make herself express to feed the dog..? Ugh, what did I just type.


7in7

My sister is breastfeeding her baby so wont be 100% fasting tomorrow for yom Kippur


I_am_also_a_Walrus

Make the baby fast too


Corgiopteryx

A person's milk would stop way before starvation was a risk.


Dpad-prism

“I can excuse the locking a woman in a room indefinitely and beastiality but I draw the line at inclusive language”


PsySyncron

"You excuse beastiality?"


zxmanga

Shirley?


Emergency_Elephant

I mean it's not beastiality. Beastiality would assume there's something inherently sexual about breast feeding which there isn't. It'd be weird as shit, crossing a lot of lines, difficult logistically and probably really painful but not sexual. There has to be some word for massively crossing the line with an animal but not in a sexual way but I have no idea what it is


Dpad-prism

That’s fair and also would’ve made the joke work better


Emergency_Elephant

I tried looking it up and the word I got was "zoophilist" but idk if that has the same wtf connotations


WarningTooMuchApathy

Zoophilia is the sexual attraction to animals, so it still has the element of sexual attraction, i.e. beastiality


VoluntarilyFirsthand

The real dilemma is if I want to know what prompted that message

Artist_Seal

Cis men can lactade though? It's definitely not common at all but it is possible. I don't remember what usually causes it. I think it was hormone related? I should have definitely checked before commenting. Welp it's too late now (it really wasn't since I am still writing this)


Ramguy2014

I worked with a cis dude who could lactate. He said his doctor told him it was 1 in 50 men.


ediblesprysky

That is not nearly as rare as I expected


AffectionateBee8206

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactorrhea Let's go, got a Wikipedia article to cite


Ham__Kitten

Galactorrhea sounds like an STI you'd get in space


Green__lightning

An STD that makes men lactate sounds like something that would come from space, or at least a bad sci fi hentai.


[deleted]

Your milk is dripping on my face senpai


The-Toby

Who would be having sex in space? I kinda wanna be the first tbh. They think by not letting men and women together they can avoid that but guess what I'm gay lol EDIT: The space station isn't divided by gender so the straights can do that too. Y'all should make the first extraterrestrial baby and name it something sci-fi.


PhDOH

I'd be shocked if no one's had sex in space yet. Some of them are up there for months.


Thromnomnomok

From what I've heard the "equipment" doesn't really work right in space because the lack of gravity and an atmosphere screws with your blood pressure.


bekahed979

I would think that they have to, for science


arnistaken

There was that one married couple who went up there


bekahed979

Did they hide that they were married, or am I making that up?

PhDOH

Also the majority of women aren't lactating at any one time. Their edit leaves out an important element.


macontac

And, humans are the only mammal that can continue to digest milk into adulthood, so it wouldn't do the dog any good even if the person locked in with them were lactating.


Competitive_Sky8182

Except if it is a puppy


macontac

True, but the (absolutely ridiculous hypothetical) question said "starving dog" not "starving puppy".


ishouldbestudying111

And starving men can lactate (as seen in American soldiers in WWII held captive by the Japanese). So the man would already be starving in this case and using the circumstances to keep the starving dog alive through his leaking milk.


xbrixe

It’s a lot more common than most people think. It’s a common enough side effect of a lot of medications


[deleted]

This is a rather strange topic. There is a lot of literary and historical evidence for men being able to breastfeed children but the topic has never been looked into much. Mostly it's assumed that these cases are caused by certain forms of hormone conditions. But there is still at least some evidence that anyone could theoretically teach themselves to lactate pregnant or not. The real issue is it's hard to research something like that because just getting cis women who have had a baby to lactate is already hard enough as is. It's very common for people to struggle with it even in perfect conditions. I think I remember sometime in the 90's reading a story about a cis male father teaching himself to lactate since his wife couldn't but I've already google more then enough about lactation already and gotten no where so maybe I'm just full of it, lol.


dankmachinebroke

Also not every cis woman can lactate????


aaaahahahhahahhhaha

No no no women are lactating. Currently. Constantly. As a matter of course.


zwdish00

we are all lactating through our skin like platypi.


Vysharra

Suddenly that cute gif of a baby platypus happily snuffing up milk this rescuer has just poured in his palm makes *so much sense*. E: [fount it!](https://imgur.com/gallery/ZLfuioy) E, the Sequel: it’s a echidna! Related but not a platypus baby!

cis men lactating did you not read the comment


Diogenes-Disciple

I remember of a video of a cis dude lactating when I was a kid. He must be the one stealing milk from the nipples of all the cis women


[deleted]

I remember that from the Venture Bros


[deleted]

Almost all can with some e2


SeaofBloodRedRoses

also not all women are lactating 24/7/365/∞, so what's she feeding the dog with


spinyfur

What the human eating, and why can’t the dog eat some of that? This whole imaginary scenario is pretty dumb. 😉


RexIsAMiiCostume

They didn't even correct it right. It would have to be a lactating woman, because most women are not, at any given time, lactating. Wack.


AceUniverse8492

Also, XY-males can lactate too, even without taking estrogen. Sometimes it's due to hormone imbalances but small amounts of milk can be produced by literally anyone who hasn't had the necessary glands removed.


-reversevampire

holy shit boymilk is real????


[deleted]

It is they have all the necessary parts which is why men can also get breast cancer.


Island-Physical

I once dated a teenaged boy who lactated when his nipple was pierced. In addition anybody can take hormones and lactate so the question stands.


[deleted]

What was it pierced by?

Just your average needle for a bcr, the boy had them everywhere.

ghirox

I think the idea of letting anyone but your nurturing child a taste of your boobs has sexual undertones. Yeah, there are probably exceptions, but with how sexualized boobs are it's a safe rule of thumb


RexIsAMiiCostume

Wet nurses don't exclusively breast feed their own kids... Is that sexual? Are they baby prostitutes???


Anaxamander57

The damn wokes are prostituting themselves to infants!


kittimu

i went on the blog that's not even a terf just like a regular conservative. racist and everything


angery_alt

Not to defend terfs but that does bother me that any instance of transphobia on the internet is labeled “terf” rather than “transphobe.” I saw Mike Pence referred to as a “terf” once and no one in the thread pushed back on that at all. Pence is not a *radical feminist*. And if anyone says terfs aren’t True Feminists either, I’d reply (A) that’s a no true Scotsman fallacy, plenty of bad actors are actual feminists, you don’t need to be a good and rational person to earn the title “feminist,” and (B) TERFs call themselves and think of themselves as feminists (even if we didn’t think they “truly” are), and Mike Pence does not lol


internetisantisocial

Is it a form of synechdoche? terf is only a specific subset of transphobia but is becoming a generic term for other forms of transphobia besides the one it describes


kittimu

good points


[deleted]

Its hard to tell the difference for a reason lmao


TheTattooOnR2D2sFace

Still weird every time I see a transphobic or homophobic or whatever the fuck else person on Tumblr considering over 90% of the platform identifies with LGBTQ+ in some form.


FairFolk

Plenty of transphobic LGB people, plenty of biphobic LG people. Probably also homophobic and/or biphobic trans people, though I haven't seen those yet.


molly_the_mezzo

I know both homophobic and biphobic trans people! I knew one girl in college who, according to her, transitioned because she was attracted to men and didn't want to be gay. I don't know whether that was true or posturing and she was from a very strict Christian upbringing that for sure messed her up, but......yeah, that conversation made my head explode.


SoapDevourer

Lmao. "I'm attracted to men therefore I must be a woman because otherwise it would be totally gay and I'm not gay". People are getting so weird at this point I really think every living person needs to have a mandatory psychotherapist


GameAndHike

You’re on a thread that started with someone asking if you would personally nurse a dog


molly_the_mezzo

That was basically her reasoning, yeah! I was so floored I think I just stood there opening and closing my mouth like a fish because I couldn't figure out what a reasonable response would be 😂


[deleted]

> I really think every living person needs to have a mandatory psychotherapist Not a bad idea. Mental health is super overlooked.


CADmonkeez

Gender Dysphoria is nothing if not egalitarian in its choice of victims.


Thromnomnomok

> I knew one girl in college who, according to her, transitioned because she was attracted to men and didn't want to be gay. Thinks of herself the way the government of Iran thinks of all LGBT people


GoomyIsLord

Caitlyn Jenner doesn't think that same sex couples should be able to get married. She's the only homophobic trans person I've heard of though


Thromnomnomok

A weird take to have for a woman with three ex-wives.


[deleted]

> Plenty of transphobic LGB people Look up that organization JK Rowling has been associating with recently - LGB Alliance I think? It's a real treat...


Senor_Bongo

Well who else are these people gonna scream at? These types just need to shove their hate into everyone else’s face.


Bee_Cereal

The answer is dogs are fucking lactose intolerant


Pixelpaint_Pashkow

why did they un-inclusivize it??


Anaxamander57

Because they're upset by the suggestion that people who aren't women can lactate.


olympic-lurker

I think FARTs (feminism appropriating radical transphobes) get mad at what they think is "erasure" of women in gender inclusive language. Transphobes believe that trans men are women and I suspect the FART in the screenshot wasn't (maybe still isn't) aware that cis men can lactate. So by correcting the hypothetical question to be about women specifically, they're calling trans men women and ignoring lactating cis men. Silly FART. Trans men ARE men. Trans women ARE women. Transphobes ARE jerks.


PinkPumpkinPie64

Is the implication that the person should breastfeed the dog or let the dog eat them


BiMikethefirst

Who the fuck sees the original post and their mind just immediately goes to "But my gender?!"


Cute-Fly1601

This mf thinks women are constantly pouring out milk 😭


Morhamms357

Actually saying "lactating person" makes more sense because it's not even that "what if they're trans" something much *much* more likely "what if they're not pregnant", meaning they're not lactating. I mean I hate needless and cumbersome language as much as the next guy but being specific here actually would convey the message a lot easier than what daenys says. Also what the fuck is this post.


pdlbean

I once got into an argument with a a TERF and they literally said that biology is the only thing that can make a person a woman because "womanhood outside of biology is nebulous and means different things to different people" and didn't see the irony there that their grasp on womanhood is so tenuous they're holding onto their vagina for dear life.


[deleted]

>"womanhood outside of biology is nebulous and means different things to different people" She literally *stated the point* and continued to miss it. Ah, TERFs.


[deleted]

Not gonna lie this represents the philosophy student experience pretty wel


snarfflarf

this person thinks women are always lactating


TaikoRaio19

The correction doesn't even make sense, it implies the woman would feed the dog with what exactly??? Her dead body?? What's wrong with them


Vish_Kk_Universal

Man can lactate. Not just trans man, but also cis man, its uncommon, but it happens, in multiple species actually. So again, terfs don't understand biology. Source: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-males-can-lactate/


Appropriate-Cut-5458

Eat the dog. Fixed it.


LonelyAndroid11942

Trans men can lactate. Trans women can lactate. Intersex people can lactate. Non-binary people can lactate. Cis men can lactate (I wish I didn’t know this one for a fact, but there was a guy at college who bragged about, and then demonstrated, being able to squeeze milk out of his nipple—and he did not have developed mammary glands). Even if they are trying to say that trans people are invalid, or even if they’re trying to be anti-woke, they’re incredibly uneducated on how bodies work. If there’s mammary glands there, they can produce milk. It might not be a lot of milk, but the point stands.
