Did you read the story? The baby doesn’t want to be covered and doesn’t care about decorum. Funny, they are like that.
At one time people understood breastfeeding was about the baby, not the breast, and certainly not about you.
Have you ever nursed a baby under a light cloth to protect his face from the light and bustle of a crowd?
No?
I have
Sorry, but that line of argument just doesn’t work. Time was, people knew that there were discreet and modest ways of doing most anything; now, modesty-impaired women are apparently told (by militants in this “camp”) to “bare it and others can deal with it”... ostensibly because “breasts aren’t sexual unless the lustful man (or lesbian, I guess) MAKES them a sex issue, so they should just learn to control themselves and mind their own business.” Never mind that they’ve unwittingly played into the hands of a culture which objectifies them.
(Would these women object if lots of people took videos of their bare breasts and posted them on YouTube? Why? How would this be different than taking videos of passersby who’re doing anything else? Come up with an answer to that, and you’ll be one step closer to recognizing the insanity behind the “whit it out and feed” camp.)
Several commenters on this thread already nailed the main problem with that: that’s one of the most selfish, self-absorbed, entitlement-driven pieces of baloney ever uttered by human lips.
It’s funny: I seriously doubt that women would be blase about men “whipping it out” to pee in public (even if, instead of using a wall or a bush, the “pee-pee incident” were in a sanitary open-air basin with a nice drain to the sewer—maybe the government should start putting those in public parks?). The same argument applies, doesn’t it? “Hey, what’s even remotely sexual about peeing? You have an issue with a bare penis? Get over it, you pervert! It’s natural, and it’s horribly selfish of you to require men to hold their pee until they get to some sort of “interior” urinal!”
Sheesh...
Agreed. Well said.
We have 4 children. All were breast fed. All were covered if it was necessary to nurse them in the presence of others. Most of the time my wife would just excuse herself to go to a more private spot.
Some women just enjoy yanking a man’s chain. “Why are you staring at my chest!”
Women’s fashions most often accentuate those portions of their anatomy they get upset about men staring at. Then they hang a fancy, flashy piece of jewelry! Like a spinner bait.
Moths to a flame....
In modern times,in civilized societies, the norm has been toward modesty.
Defecation is a perfectly normal bodily function, as is lactation, but we would hope that others would not force us to witness said function.
I’m curious what kind of woman wants people other than her husband looking at her bare chest?? To me, that’s a privilege that has to be earned, so to speak, and out of simple respect for my marriage vows (among other reasons), I’d cover the hell up and be discreet.
So then, she pumps a couple of bottles before going to something as consequential as a court hearing. Not hard to figure out unless she is a modestysucks activist with no respect for complete strangers or for authority figures, such as the judge who will be deciding her case. Does she think it's optional whether her other child needs her? Apparently so.
