When it comes to breasts, Americans really have it twisted. We've sexualized them to such a point we no longer see them for their main purpose: feeding babies.This disconnect is so extreme that when women breastfeed their children in public they are often met with scorn or shame.Florida mom and anti-circumcision advocate, Ashley Kaidel, isn't having it anymore.Kaidel was breastfeeding in an unnamed restaurant when another diner gave her the stink-eye, just for feeding her child in public. So Kaidel took a photo of herself staring right back at the shamer and posted it to Facebook. The photo quickly went viral, receiving over 420,000 likes.In her post, she explained why she had such a stern look on her face."In the picture, it appears I'm staring off into the distance. In reality, I'm staring into the eyes of a woman staring at me. She is looking at me with disgust and shaking her head with judgement in an attempt to shame me and indirectly tell me without words that I am wrong and need to cover myself.”Kaidel says she breastfeeds in public to reduce the stigma surrounding it."I do this for the person that has the mentality 'Boobs are to be covered. They're for your husbands eyes only. They're intimate. It's a personal/private thing to feed your baby. Cover up out of respect. My kids don't need to see that. Walk out of the room' and any other derogatory, close-minded comments and sentiments alike.”Then, she cut through all the nonsense surrounding breasts to explain their real purpose."[B]reasts were made to sustain your baby's life before they were made to bring pleasure to any other man, woman, partner or spouse. Their sole purpose is to make food and dispense it straight into a baby's mouth. There is nothing weird about this and there's no difference in me feeding my baby with my breast than you feeding yourself with a spoon.Finally, Kaidel had some strong words for the next person who attempts to shame her for breastfeeding in public."No person should be isolated and shunned because they're eating, especially when you yourself are eating while ridiculing how someone else is eating. Is it not certainly easier to avert your eyes from a displeasing sight rather than suggest or demand a mother and child remove themselves from your presence? How pompous and selfish is this? Just look away. It's simple to do so. No harm done at all."via GIPHYThis article originally appeared 9 years ago.

The Genesis story covers three distinctly different periods: Genesis with Peter Gabriel, then the post-Gabriel Genesis and finally the ‘80s Phil Collins led incarnation with remaining members Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks.Genesis (Original Version)Under Peter Gabriel’s leadership, Genesis was Prog Rock to the extreme. Given Gabriel’s use of masks and props the band was visually arresting. Launched in the late ‘60s, it wasn’t until the ’72 release of “Foxtrot” that the group’s sound came together. “Selling England By The Pound” represented another step forward as the group added political commentary to their repertoire. “The Lamb Lays Down On Broadway” was their most ambitious and successful album with Gabriel. After a tour supporting the double set, Gabriel departed. His solo career took a while to get going. It wasn’t until the mid-80s, after he mainstreamed his sound (as much as he could), did he score with “Sledgehammer” and the clever accompanying video. Meanwhile his former band mates pressed on with drummer Phil Collins handling lead vocals.Genesis (post-Peter Gabriel)With Gabriel’s departure Genesis’ remaining members decided to buck the odds and continue. Genesis, slowly at first and then with great haste, moved away from Art Rock to the Pop/Rock mainstream. Also, ex-Yes drummer Bill Bruford signed on. Genesis (The 80s)Genesis, whittled down to a trio, was headed by Phil Collins (with his “cabbage patch doll” looks). After years of not making money with Gabriel, they rode Collins to the hilt. The 1980s were great for the band.  Beginning with “Duke” in ’80 the band had a string of five straight #1 albums. Following “Duke” there was “Abacab,” “Genesis,” Invisible Touch” (pictured) and “We Can’t Dance”… released in ’91. “Abacab” had the title track plus “No Reply At All” while “Invisible Touch” also contained a title track hit plus “Land Of Confusion.” No Reply Invisible Touch Collins also embarked on a commercially successful solo career that hit a commercial peak with “No Jacket Required.” His influence was so pervasive it was hard to tell Genesis from Phil Collins’ solo stuff. Meanwhile, guitarist Mike Rutherford busied himself with Mike & The Mechanics. This outfit’s self-titled debut with “Silent Running” and “All I Need Is A Miracle” was the best album produced by any Genesis member either individually or collectively in the ‘80s. Their sophomore set held the hit ballad “Living Years.”Genesis (The 00’s)The demand for classic bands was amazing – especially ones with a ton of hits. The Phil Collins led edition of the Genesis (with Rutherford and Banks but no Gabriel) launched on hugely successful world trek in ’07. The Turn It On Again Tour, taking its name from a song on the ’80 “Duke” album, was the first time this line-up performed together since ’92.Hall of FameGenesis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a ’10 ceremony in New York. Collins and Rutherford were there but not original frontman Peter Gabriel – he was preparing for a European tour.As part of the induction ceremony Phish performed “Watcher Of The Skies,” a song that kicked off early Genesis shows.“It’s impossible for me to overstate the impact this band had on me as a young musician and I’m forever in your debt,” said Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio during his Genesis induction speech. “When I hear Radiohead’s “Kid A,” with its odd time signatures and spacious visual arrangements, I hear Genesis, and I hear them in the sonic islands My Bloody Valentine plays between their songs.”Five years later, Banks was named the Prog God for 2015 at the Progressive Music Awards in London. ### The post Genesis appeared first on RockinTown.
