What does feeding an infant have to do with public sexual acts?
It exposes a sexual body part. Duh.

Then why are men allowed to walk around without shirts?

Because there is a double standard there. Sadly.

Men's breasts are not "dictated" by society to be recongized as sexual, while a woman's breasts are. We do live in a sad sad continent.

ThatComputerDude, notfred... read the above statement.

What you determine a "sexual body part" is part of every person regardless of their sex. There is only a miniscule distinction between what constitutes a male and a female since we have a lot of the same "stuff." I suggest you two (and others too shy to post) open a book sometime.

Enjoying reading only what you want? The point I was making was that the less considerate people ruin things for perfectly responsible people. And while I'm sure there are more than enough women in this thread (and the world) who conceal their breastfeeding well enough, there are plently of idiots who do it rather blatently and publicly.

I'm not going to throw a fit if I see a woman breastfeeding in public, I just think there are more appropriate places to do so.

You know, when I was in the Philippines the women were all about breastfeeding in public places. We would be preaching in church, and there would be four women in the front row who would pop their boob out and start breastfeeding. Talk about making it awkward. And then sometimes their two year old would come in and nurse on the other breast. Seriously, awkward.

Come on now, admit you were grandstanding. Breastfeeding openly is in no way analagous to an intent to kill hundreds. In no way. such an inflammatory comparison can't help but distract people from whatever your true intention was.

As to your point about the less considerate; education is the solution not legislation. Banning public breastfeeding is not the answer when some people abuse public spaces. Encouraging them to be more discreet, if it bothers you, would be more appropriate.

Next time I see a woman breast feeding in public, I'm going to ask her

"Did you bring enough for everyone?" and DEMAND a suckle.

It's not the breasts he dislikes, I'm sure he's fond of those. It's these shapeless, blob mothers who are indirectly exposing themselves to you in such a way you feel offended. I don't want to go out and get something and have to watch some skank hag take her breast(s) out and feed the litter. I've yet to see a good looking woman breastfeed in public, they're usually fatties.

You pussyfooted around my original point though.

Where could you possibly be that would warrant you breastfeeding immediately before you could get to a more private location?

Resteraunts, retail stores and public parks all have bathrooms.

A bathroom is an inappropriate place for anyone to eat. Wouldn't you say?

Not for breastfeeding, no. I'm sure if someone were eating in a manner that was disgusting to other patrons at a public place, they would be asked to leave.

You don't walk into Best Buy and begin munching on your burrito from Taco Bell whenever you feel like it. I don't care if babies need to eat every 3 hours or whatever interval, they can easily wait the maximum of 5 minutes it takes for you to excuse from the public place and going to your car.

As long as they are fat or disgusting, I don't mind seeing some boobies every once in a while.

theres a diff between a female breast and one of those super ugo's that you can only tell they are a woman by their hair and what are probably boobs. I mean, most of the people who do this are so repulsive, they should dress up like some muslim woman and hide underneath a sheet

Who cares.

Breast-feeing is a normal natural thing.

So much whining.
More whining from the OP than from the babies breast-feeding themselves :roll:

But.. but.. Nudity is SINFUL! It is an offense against the Lord when we bare our bodies to each other and invite such lustful thoughts. Lust is the Devil's way of getting between us and the greatness and wonder that is the Lord thy God. You people who voted yes make the Baby Jesus cry...

Can I get an Amen?

So many of these replies boil down to "It's ok, if she looks good."
That has to be one of the most fvcked up and immature sentiments I have ever come across on these boards.
This thread makes the baby Jesus cry.

(Because he has to eat in the bathroom. )

Feeding a baby in a natural way is disgusting to you? Lemme guess, you were bottle fed.

Let me ask you two questions:

1. How often do you actually encounter women who are breastfeeding in public?
2.Of those you do encounter how many just "whip out a tittie" for the world to see and go at it without a towel or other cover over the baby?

You sound like this traumatizes you. Get over it.

i'm actually mildly impressed with how long this thread got.. (prolly shouldn't be really) and its much stranger that i actually responded to it twice..
I really just wanted to add something to my prior point about being discreet, and it kinda goes along with that same idea,

if you don't like it, look away, I mean.. c'mon people.. unless this woman takes up a whole wall here (i'm exagerating) then its a small thing for you to turn your head, turn around, look at something else instead of staring at some woman feeding her child. Just deal with it.

And those who whip it out and fap it in front of my breastfeeding wife, well that's their way of telling me that they want some asphalt implanted in their forehead :thumbsup:

I don't think it's morally wrong or anything, I just don't want to see certain things and think they should be done in private. This is one of them.
