I have a dirty mind and I don't find it offensive.

Isn't this a subsection of the spandex law? It's a privelage not a right?

Now, I am a woman, and a strong supporter of women's rights. I just don't know what to think about this. Is this behavior appropriate in a restaurant setting, or should the women have pumped her breast milk earlier and bottle feed the child in public? Thoughts?

Women breastfeeding in public is a pretty common occurrence where I live. It doesn't bother me. I really think it your issue and something you need to deal with. I do not see it as a sexual thing, nor an offensive thing, just naturally occurring.

Wow...just wow....

For the love of crimminy folks...WTF is a breast and a nipple for again? Ahh that's right for feeding a child. The breast is only sexual to those that make it. My wife has breastfed our two children and even *I* was hesitant at first. Why because I felt uncomfortable with my wife pull out her breasts to feed our child. Then I realized what a beautiful thing it was to share special moments with our children.

You want to know what pumps are really for? The men. My wife worked on the weekends to get some free time, so she would have to pump beforehand so our babies would have milk. Not because we were afraid of people saying something... Don't even get me started about these asinine comparisons between flatulence and breastfeeding.

The only people I've ever seen have a problem with public breastfeeding( and oh dear the most you can see is the side of a breast...someone save the children) are:

1. People without kids
2. Uncomfortable with their significant others baring portions of their breast.


Some people need to look to some examples of female fashion and wonder why you are complaining about breastfeeding, but would gladly see a beautiful women parading around in nothing but a bikini and high heels...

Kindly share those moments with your children when others aren't eating nearby.

What's an anus for? Taking dumps and releasing gas, but you don't like people doing those in public.

Agreed. Breastfeeding is a beautiful thing. Nothing wrong with it at all.

I've actually tried my wife's breast milk. Tastes kind of sweet actually. :thumbsup:

You believe that sh!tting and eating are the same thing? Well, no wonder you love George W. Bush. Idiot.

I actually think zendari has a point. Albeit it's a bit of a slippery slope argument but both situations actually relate to comfort levels, an entirely subjective standard. That said, don't take dumps in public!

If you want a baby to eat in the toilet, you should be willing to take your meal in there as well.

Urine idiot.

Oh NOEEESSSS!!! Its the Boobies!!!

Who TF cares. If it bothers you, its probably cuz:

1) Your jealous cuz the baby gets more tit than you
2) Are severly conservative
3) Believe anything related to the human body should be covered like the Taliban

The human body is a miracle, and babies are miracles... you should be amazed at how we are able to reproduce and care for our little ones.. its awe-inspiring

Get over it....

 

[MrsBugi]

In my humble opinion, if a woman's baby is hungry for milk, she has every right to feed it no matter where she is. A woman's breasts are first and foremost for nursing her child; nursing the pr0n needs of horny males falls far beneath that.

Use the pump. It is just mannerly.

Actually Jules, zendari does have a point. Farting and pooping are natural things in the body. It is only society that has a problem with it. You don't see animals having any qualms about going in front of their fellow animals.

So in the same way it is mannerly to not fart and poop in public, it is mannerly to not breast feed in public. It is a beautiful thing, but it should be reserved to privacy. I don't think farting is a beautiful thing, but the logic that both of them are just natural body functions is still true. The same goes for the physical act of sex (which is a beautiful thing ) , but you don't see people running out on the street "doing it".

So going by the reverse logic that some of you ATOTers are saying, farting and pooping in public isn't an issue either. How about burping? I highly doubt many of you would say the same about these things.

Of course it is more mannerly to use the pumped milk in a public place. I have no major qualms with breast feeding in public, but if we are talking about an issue of manners, it is more mannerly to feed the kid the pumped milk in public.

Fecal material is generally bacteria-laden stuff that stinks and can cause disease, hence we don't really like it. Breast feeding is only a "problem" if you are intent on staring at the woman doing it. Not like it's noisy or smells bad. It's sort of a "Viewer discretion is advised" thing. Don't like it? Look somewhere else.

Use the pump. It is just mannerly.

Unless your family's living on minimum wage or some low paying job, and the cost of a breast pump just isn't something you can really afford.

It still always amazes me how uptight this society is about anything involving nudity, and yet we constantly have threads about Shakira and Jessica Simpson and the like. Sure, expose all you want, we just demand PICS!!! Someone wants to breast feed? OH NO! Moral decay, society's going to crumble!!!!!:roll:

BTW, stay away from my nipples!

Are you lactating?

Like I'd tell you!

now that's offensive

You have such a dirty mind.

we all have dirty minds

 

[fLum0x]

whip it out and milk it up

 

[0roo0roo]

boob for breast feeding doesn't blow my mind. i think our generation is so overexposed to porn a glimps of breast is't all that anymore, let alone with a baby hanging off the end.

 

[Witchfire]

It's a natural thing, there's nothing wrong with it. Seems to me the problem is with those who feel they need to control what's seen in public. If it bothers you that much then just shut up and leave.

I'd be willing to bet the guys who say they're offended by it are the very same guys who go to a strip joint on payday with a hope, a dream, and a big roll of one dollar bills.
