You can post whatever you like on your own blog, but I think what these women want is the ability to have their posts seen by their friends and family. For a huge majority of the people I know, Facebook is the only way to do that.
I don't think either side is idiotic. I believe Facebook has a real need to improve its system so that it doesn't have to hold the entire world to a single parochial standard of propriety. And these women are encouraging it to do so. The only measure of their approach that matters to them is whether it is effective. Time will tell.
What would be interesting to me is your proposal for a better way to achieve their goals, and why you believe it would be more effective.
Well, if I were approached by such a woman, I would tell her that she should post her photos on posterous, tumblr, flickr or other similar services, and link to them from Facebook.
But I'm really not looking for solutions. Just enjoing the moment when "in 2012 an idealist group of women took to the streets of the Western world in anger, with bare breasts and suckling babies in their arms to protest the actions of 27-year-old Mark Zuckerberg who runs a large, popular communication/vicarious-living/ego-stroking/stalking website (or 'virtual social networks' as they were called) to demand of him to allow them to publish photographs of them breastfeeding their newborns."
