We don't live in an ideal world. White people hold very little power. Blaming mothers for not breastfeeding when they were womanly enough to give birth is idiotic. Anecdotally, when my wife had our second child, she had to use formula. She was a stay at home mother for 9 years. She still breastfed because she believed it was important for our daughter's immune system and gut bacteria, but her milk was iron deficient and causing jaundice. Formula is a necessity just as any medication.

The vast majority of women are simply taking the easy way out. I never stated there weren't instances where formula isn't needed.
