Breast Feeding in Public:Yay or Nay? (Poll Added)

[Ceannairceach]

nd in this certain case, I don't think it's a huge sacrifice on the part of the mother to be considerate of others

Or, you know, society can stop oppressing boobies and allow women to have their shirts off occasionally, as men do often without reason, to feed their children.

Lol, yes society is SO cruelly oppressive to women in such a fashion. I think they'll survive by just using a restroom instead of putting upon others.

Breast feeding is a whole lot more similar to eating than it is to evacuating.

Not really. Breast feeding and evacuating are both considered to be graphic acts. Eating isn't.

Which is irrelevant. When breastfeeding mothers start shitting with their tits, I'll come leaping to your side of the argument.

Dear Jesus, that is mental image Hell.

I don't see a problem with it, as long as it isn't done lasciviously (and I'm hard pressed to imagine a scenario in which it could be).

The best I can offer is the idea of a breastfeeding mother masturbating while Baby gets breakfast.

Other than that, I find the idea of lascivious breastfeeding somewhat difficult to accommodate. And... let's face it - I'm not really suggesting a REALISTIC alternative, even then.

Yeah, I can't think of anything either. Breast feeding itself is about as non-erotic as things get.

Do you get off to breastfeeding women? Cause, you know, everything can be "graphic arts". Even mastication.

Why do babies have to eat where people shit, but no one else has to?

I am curious as to this.

It doesn't. It can be back inside of your car, or somewhere else isolated.

MILK FIGHT!!!



They have a job to do. If they're comfortable with themselves enough to take care of business in full view maybe I can get over it myself, mind my own business and carry on with my day.

What I get off to is neither here nor there. It's a generally agreed upon perception by upstanding people.

Why?

[Scottstan]

Why?

So as not to put upon others.

[Saint Jade IV]

As for why I am against it, as has been compared earlier, it's like peeing in a bush or on a wall out in public. Bodily functions aren't just something you do out in the street like an animal. That is why we use bathrooms. I assume all these people who are pro-public breastfeeding use bathrooms? If they do, I assume they also appreciate that we reserve certain acts for areas that allot proper discretion. Otherwise, we would just have toilets on every street corner. And for all your indignant talk, I doubt ANY of you would actually use a toilet out in the open, in front of everyone just because its there and its "natural".

I do find it bemusing that in Australia, the act of a male urinating on a wall or a bush is far more culturally acceptable than a mother feeding her child. So much more acceptable in fact, that males often will pee on fences and walls rather than walk a couple hundred metres to a toilet in many circumstances.

[Grave_n_idle]

Because it's okay for YOU to impose your wants on them, but not for their needs to impose on you?

Upstanding people? Having a boner doesn't make you right.

Really I wonder where you think a ban on breastfeeding is "generally agreed upon". According to Wikipedia even Saudi Fucking Arabia permits public breastfeeding.

Yes, that does indeed describe the logic of the average American liberal.

I am curious as to this.

I can't think of a single good reason for it.

Except it's mostly Reich-wingers making up the Morality Police.

boobies are great but breastfeeding in public is not. pump it into a bottle and feed the bottle to the baby when in public. breast feed at home. thats all i have to say on this topic.

[Farnhamia]

1: No, it really isn't.
2: You never eat in public?
3: You only eat in restrooms?
4: Doubt all you like... Not that it is at all applicable to the discussion at hand since breast-feeding and using a toilet are not in any way related.

1. Why not?
2. Don't you think it's a bit disingenous to equate eating and drinking with evacuating, or breast-feeding?
3. See #2
4. Why isn't it applicable?

2. I do think it's disingenuous to equate breast-feeding with evacuating, as in, "As for why I am against it, as has been compared earlier, it's like peeing in a bush or on a wall out in public."

Personally, I think an infant won't perish if it gets a bottle of formula when its parents take it out for a night on the town (I know I always loved those times, the three of us going from club to club, partying until the dawn ... all the other kids said I had the really cool parents), but I find your tone in being "put upon" by a woman breast-feeding just a little ... pompous.

Obviously

I personally find breastfeeding not so pleasant. The idea of it is somewhat distasteful to me.

You know what I think is more disgusting or distasteful? The idea of a baby eating in a toilet.

[Tyger Private Military]

I suppose as long as she's well covered... I'd prefer it be done in a more secluded, private place...

This.

STRANGE, ISN'T IT?
Actually, that's just something that MSNBC has told you. It's not really true. There are two conflicting planes of morality, one espoused by the Republicans, and the other pushed forward by the Democrats. And I say planes from a geometric perspective, in that they only intersect along one line: that their way is the only correct way, and that everyone who opposes that should die.

I myself don't give a shit about whether breastfeeding is allowed in public. IMO, if it keeps the baby from crying and annoying me, I don't care. But that's just my $0.02 OTM.
