Possible better use for the "language" (or a terminology) section
I actually jumped to the section on "language" thinking it might contain information about the term "chestfeeding". No doubt there have been long discussions about that (gender inclusive language) in the past and I don't want to rekindle that. The article is fine as it is. I am just wondering if a short explanation on who uses the term "chestfeeding" could be placed under "language"? Similar to how we briefly explained "menstruator" in a terminology section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstruation#Terminology (I thought about this after participating in a discussion at menstrual cycle about this issue of gender neutral language). But if people don't want this, due to it being a can of worms, it's fine - I don't feel strongly about it. EMsmile (talk) 08:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Was the talk page empty on purpose?
By the way, I was surprised to see that this talk page was empty until I just posted now. Normally when archiving, there should be a minimum of 5 threads left behind. How come this is not the case here? Was that done on purpose? Just wondering EMsmile (talk) 08:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well I can tell you that I'd contributed a section on LGBTQ+ breastfeeding which was removed, discussed, removed again, and the talk has also been scrubbed. Dharmabum (talk) 00:00, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
