Imagine a world where men could breastfeed—sounds funny, right? A company known for its innovative breastfeeding pump has released an ad that humorously explores how different the workplace would be if men were the ones nursing. Spoiler alert: it’s vastly different from the typical accommodations women face, which often involve cramped supply rooms or even restrooms (if you’re fortunate enough to have that option).
The creators of the Naya breast pump envision a scenario where guys wouldn’t have to sneak away to the back of the store! Instead, there would be designated “breastfeeding stations,” complete with helpers polishing those elaborate tubes and, of course, an array of snacks on hand. Men would be proudly celebrating their roles, reveling in the attention and support.
Meanwhile, women are left to navigate the “Break Time For Nursing Mothers” law, which mandates “reasonable time” for breastfeeding in a “private space.” Who needs comfy lounges and tasty treats when you can take a break in a supply closet, right?
