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?

Unless she is sharing, cover em!

It doesn't bother me.  A feeding baby is a quiet baby.

Unless she is starring in national geographic, cover them.
Now, in many countries, mom doesn't bother to cover them in the house with just hubby and other kids around.
We are a tad prudish in that regard.

My breast feeding wife is of the opinion that it's natural and nothing to be ashamed of.

Exactly..... makes no difference if covered or not, just so long as the kid is silent

Totally natural.

So is fucking pissing and taking a shit. I prefer a little privacy.

That's fine, but I believe the OP is talking about the militant breast feeders. Completely different ideals.

The militant boob patrol is like snowboots and his open carry friend in Chipotle...

I think all titties should be out in the open, even the gross ones because discrimination is a dark path.

This has to be the first time open carry has been compared to breast feeding in public.  Offended snowflake is at least original.  

I've never noticed if a woman was well covered while breastfeeding since I mind my own fucking business.

You honestly have to be a fucking prude to be offended by a woman breastfeeding her baby.

Seriously of all the things to get your vagina sandy this is probably the most ignorant.

I don't know what kind of person would, but I'd tell them to first remove the stick from their ass and then grow up. Jeezus people.

I eat chicken breasts in public without covering anything up, babies can eat too.

A mother should do what she's comfortable with in regards to feeding her child.

Wife is feeding now. Always covers up because we believe it's right. If the baby was hungry and we didn't have cover, it wouldn't be a big deal.......

Cleavage is a distraction.  A pretty face is a distraction.  Short shorts are a distraction.

How about we just have all women wear burkas?  God forbid we have to deal with any distraction in our daily lives.

You mean the pervs that stare to see if they see anything and if they peek a boob they're posting about it on the interwebs?  Yeah, I'd worry about those people too.

It's healthier that way. We are too prudish in this country. Sex is dirty. Bewbies will scar children forever.

When I was 12 I spent time in the Dom Rep. and at nude beaches. It taught me that a little skin was nothing to freak over. And that sexuality isn't bad.

The mom of the family I was staying with would pop them out and breastfeed.

I like them so much, that I stare at them when I see them.

If you don't want people leering at your titties, cover them up. Otherwise, thanks for the free titty show.

Not that it particularly bothers me. It's rare to even see someone breastfeed let alone full on boob out. I know nevada at least protects it by law. I just don't think i would feel comfortable doing it if i were a woman. Hell i don't even feel comfortable taking my shirt off in public and i'm a guy.

I've been in church services where women openly breastfed their babies...in Africa.  

I don't care if women cover up or not.  They can do whatever they are comfortable doing.  However, in my time on the ambulance with female partners and an RN wife who complains about dirty old men at her job, I have realized that there are more pervs out there than you imagine, so while mommy may view her breasts as baby feeding tools, others won't.

A little discretion goes a long way. I am okay with public breastfeeding,  but an attempt to at least partially cover up should be taken. Unless we want to make topless at any time for any women legal, this should be the social norm.  While we as a country are too prudish with the naked human body, some nursing mothers try to make a scene.  Yes it is a natural thing, but so is masterbation and pretty sure the same mother would be offended if I was jerking it in the Target food court.

TLDR: try to cover up in public, if a boobs slip happens so be it.

Who cares? Some women cover, some don't, their call. Part of life.You don't have to look if you don't want.

Are the attention whores? Maybe.maybe not. Who's to say?

Meh, cover 'em up....it's a very person experience (between mom and child,) no reason to share that. Also there's a lot of pervs out there that would photograph such a thing for spanking purposes and sharing out to other sickos so it's a common sense thing.

Agreed.  I love almost everything about  Western society, but the "go feed your hungry baby, hiding in a stinking shitter stall" taboo is BS.

I remember walking in on my aunt when she was breastfeeding her new baby in a bedroom. Think I was eight. She apologised to me.  Like she did something wrong.

Free the titties, but honestly, my wife was discreet about it.

did live in Austin, and women were legally allowed to be topless at any time-just like men.

Classic case of MYOB.  Mom's should do what moms want to do.  But mom and dad also have to get used to the looks.  Can't complain of onlookers when the Tata's are on display.  But it's the only way to desensitize a puritan public to a natural act.  Only Americans freak out over breastfeeding.

This. The loudest whiners, by far, are the "eewwww its yucky crowd". Climb back into your safe space if you are too offended at the sight of a baby eating.

As for the DURRR COVER ITS HEAD folks, you are free put your head under a blanket, thus blocking any offensive activities from your view.
