Actress Alyssa Milano took to her Twitter account with some strong reactions after she received so many negative comments about a picture she posted of herself breastfeeding.
We all saw Kim Kardashian naked this week, whether we wanted to or not. Congratulations, I guess, and good luck to you all as we deal with our own hypocrisy and nonsense in the days after those Paper magazine photos took over the internet with the express intent of “breaking” said internet.

A number of people have taken the photos and the subsequent reactions as an opportunity to question why we sign off on certain forms of nudity in pictures and criticize others. One person who has challenged people’s reactions has been actress Alyssa Milano, who recently posted breastfeeding pictures on her Instragram account.
Because this is how our internet works, Milano received a blitz of negative reactions and nasty comments to her decidedly tame and not offensive photos. That prompted her to ask what the difference is on her Twitter account.
Never fear, Alyssa. I guarantee you can find comments on a message board somewhere that are offended by Kardashian’s pictures and therefore have really terrible, awful, mean things to say about her as a human being.
While I appreciate Milano’s challenge here, she made one big mistake: never presume that “people” have a collectively held opinion on the internet. The opinions cane be varied, vile, and terrifying, but they are far from universal, for better or for worse.
