Breasts are generally only used or exposed in a sexual manner outside of feeding a child.

Now we have a group of people who insist on breaking those social mores while feeding their baby, because...reasons? Nobody is against breast feeding in concept, or if a woman accidentally flashes a boob while covered up, it's the vocal few that choose to hang their boobs out in public, and then defiantly lash out at anyone who might dare to object. It's snowflake central; screw all the people around me who might be offended for whatever reason, Ima do it my way! View Quote Vocal few? It's only in America where this is even a thing, and only for some people. Simply because pharma convinced you that some canned crap was better than nature's perfect food, which happens to be free. In the rest of the world and for generations past, it's always been considered the most normal, healthy thing to do. Guess people like my 90 year old grandmother are "snowflake" then.LOL Wait, aren't you the one "offended" by feeding babies? That makes you the biggest snowflake around |

It is real simple.... ugly fat women need to cover up. Sexy fit women should be free to expose those beauties.

Flew from Honolulu to Chicago on a 777. Sat in a middle seat and a hot 20somethingbwas there next to me breast feeding her baby. No cover and a really nice rack. She would engage me in every conversation she could and said as we were landing she was glad to offer a nice view for the ride! I didn't complain.

My SO is currently breastfeeding our 4 month old. She always covers up when doing it out in public. We were talking about it today and I told her I compare women who don't cover up while breastfeeding in public to people who open carry. Attention whores, pretty much. She was surprised and kind of got offended. I explained my position further and she started to understand where I was coming from. What's GD's opinion on breastfeeding in public? my opinion is the same as yours. pissing is a natural body thing, but I don't stand and spin in a circle pissing in the park, and nobody would defend me if I did.

My Sister-in-law IS one of those militant open breastfeeders, even got her picture in the paper when a group of her friends protested the local Target due to their policy.
It's a strange group and even suggesting they should use discretion when feeding sends her off the rail. I don't mind it and think it's natural but the last time I saw a woman do it was at Hooter's of all places. Was kinda hard not to notice when she was sitting at the table next to mine and we were facing each other. In that kinda case I'd rather she cover. |

They're thinking with feels instead of logic. You can't reason with feels. They are inherently unreasonable. View Quote It really does come down to this. Boobs are a dual purpose body part. Their primary activity is purely utilitarian and uses them as a vital food source for your child. For the other activity, they can provide some nice stimulation and enjoyment. A person's inability to disassociate the two and treat them as two separate things says more about the person than it does about the mother's desire to nurture her child and keep it healthy. |

It's almost like someone should make a product that would be able to extract the mother's milk and than have another product that is specifically designed to feed children that is very similar to a boob and nipple..........oh wait

For the folks that have a problem with breastfeeding, is this just something you were brought up with? Got told in school, got it from the media? I mean for the rest of the world its not a “thing”, and its never been a “thing”. In fact the older folks, I’m talking here our Spanish, Italian, German, even Russian grandparents, for them its always been the most normal and natural thing in the world to breastfeed in public if that was what needed to be done. In fact they would frown upon a mother using a bottle rather than breastfeeding. Its not some liberal /snowflake thing which some people here apparently believe. Rather the opposite, breastfeeding (at least in most western countries outside USA) it’s the most conservative stance. Even today a mother that prefers to use a bottle is viewed as a bad mother, and I know for a fact of a couple of them that are exactly that, prefering the bottle because they are too lazy to breastfeed. With the bottle they can send dad to take care of the baby at 2AM, or they can leave the baby with someone else for hours. As for whats better for the baby and mother, there’s no discussion whatsoever. This reminds me of the circumcision threads. Another thing that is an American “thing”, apparently open for debate, while for the rest of the planet (other than Jews and Muslims) it just sounds insane to do such a thing. |
