The thing that gets me is that you cant even see the nipple. I've seen bathing suits that cover less than you can see in that picture.

As far as I'm concerned, there's NO inappropriate place to nurse. The more public breastfeeding the better. Fuck, I think people should be able to go out in public naked. Who has the right to tell me that I HAVE to wear clothes? Our country is so fucked up in terms of sexuality BECAUSE of the way we treat our bodies. I'm with Flint on this one (I thought he left?).

It's fucking hot out there and I should be able to strut my pimply honky ass in public if I want. I've seen outfits that are more ugly than a naked body. Fucking prudes! And the whole "I don't want my child to see" crowd can shove it too. If kids saw more real and/or average breasts, they wouldn't fetishize them. Breasts are breasts for fucking christ's sake. Go nude in protest I say! Anybody in the cellar brave (or stupid) enough to join me?:mad:

"It's all about the dowas."

I'm with you, but guys who can't pass the pencil tests should have to wear bras.

No, it isn't. Not to me. I don't understand it - not even a little bit. Breatfeeding is natural and healthy.

It doesn't matter where you are. If you have a problem with breastfeeding then it is your problem. It is a natural, healthy thing.

The very idea that there is an "inappropriate location" for breatsfeeding is repulsive to me. Of course, it isn't on the Taliban-level of female repression, but it sure as hell springs forth from the same backwards-ass belief system. Defining the act of a mother feeding her baby as "inappropriate" (and expecting her to cater to your mental hang-ups!) is sick, sick, sick. I can't be any more clear about it than that. I disagree with you 100%.

"A breast is a breast -- it's a sexual thing."

And what exactly is the sexual function of the breast ???

It's curvy and soft and seems to turn men on!

BTW--I see you're back!! Hee, hee!

My conservative Catholic Mom breast fed me in church. I guess you'd like to be the one choose between a crying hungry baby and a happy fed baby. That choice isn't for you to make, until you have a kid and then I bet your wife straightens you out. :)

Ibby 08-05-2006 04:21 PM

Brianna has a very, very good point.

But Pangloss may be right, us menfolk might not like them so much if such a big deal wasn't made of them.

All I know is Brianna is right.

Flint 08-05-2006 05:07 PM

Right, she was right: breasts "turn men on" - so a breast hang-up (if you have one) is your problem.

Well, I suppose a gay man wouldn't be turned on by a breast. At least not a woman's breast. I find Flint's passion for public breast feeding rather interesting...tell us more, Flint. ;)

My wife is due in about a month, our first child.

When my baby is hungry, I am not gonna give a flying fuck about some bigot's puritanical human-body complex.

Ah, that's it, then. Your hormones are all out of whack! :D

Congratulations on your baby-to-be!

So it's ok to look at a breast in public if there's a kiddie attached to it, but if it's just the boob itself that's wrong? Reminds me of the movement around here to let women walk around topless, just try it and then tell me boobs arn't sexual objects.

Oh, there was the funniest woman on the news a while back talking about it, when asked if she cared about men looking at her chest she replied "well of course they can't stare! Staring means they are sexualizing me and that's harrasment". My friends and I got into an argument afterword about how long you were allowed to look at a womans breasts without getting in trouble (we were mostly trying to embarass the hell out of the girls present though :D)

Ok, so the people who would be desturbed by loud public flatulence can also take their "backwards-ass belief" about a perfectly normal bodily function and leave where ever they paid to be? I don't particularly care about public feeding, but your over-the-top juvenile attitude and tactic of simply attacking those who argue with you is pathetic Flint. Get back to me after you think of a more compelling argument than "you have personal issues" and can understand the difference between "it is a horrible, shameful act" and "please refrain in a few situations".
