Breast feeding in public?

[QUOTE="da-big-girl007"]

Do you think its okay to breastfeed in public? Personally I don't care as long as their covering it up with a towel or something.

Hell no. The sight of breastfeeding triggers an uncontrollable chemical reaction in the viewer's brain which eventually leads to the creation of necrotic viruses inside the viewer's body. Hence, breastfeeding poses a powerful and direct threat to human society - a threat which completely outweighs any health benefits conferred to a baby. Do you want people to get eaten alive by bacteria? Thought not.

No offense but if you get any kind of sexualamusementwhile seeing a women breast feeding her child, you need help. Womens breasts are NOT sexual toys like many men see them as.

Yes and I feel sorry for those women.

Two things I would like to observer:

1) At one time, many of us were that baby breast feeding in public

2) Most of the people responding to this are dudes

Personally, I'll admit it makes me comfortable, but I fully realize I am the one with the problem. I live in the society where a one-second shot of a boob forever scared the nation for life, but violent movies featuring injury and death are considered family entertainment (not that I am condemning violence in entertainment, because I am a regular consumer of the stuff).

[QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"][QUOTE="Celldrax"] I know they're completely different things, but they're still things I think should be done in private. [QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"]

Right, so it's decent to make someone (baby) eat in the bathroom? Don't get me wrong, I am NOT a fan of nursing mothers who seem to "get a kick" out of shoving it in peoples faces, but so long as it's done off to the side, what's the big deal?

For an example, lets say a family is waiting for a table at a restaurant because they want a booth off to one corner of the dining area, there is no reason the mom can't wait the five minutes to feed the baby at the table, where really nobody can see. However, there are some mothers who will just go ahead and start feeding right there at the entrance to the restaurant. So, in that sense I can agree with you that it's a little indecent to do that. If she wants to wait until they are seated and out of the way, then I don't see a problem with it.

I think that should stay in the bedroom.

Why?

I'm all for it so long as they also allow foreplay in public. For too long have I had to restrict my lewd but not technically intercouse activities to the bedroom!

Only if the women in question is under the age of 30 and has an amazing rack. Personally though, I'd ask your brother's opinion on the matter;)

@YellowOneKinobi... I was asking JPL specifically. I find it comical that anyone would be offended by this at all. I know most women that breast-feed don't want pervs staring at them, but they know it needs to be done. I also know most women won't just flash a breast to annoy people... at least all the women I know. New mothers don't always have time for pumping, or the money to buy a pump. The cheap ones are terrible and take a very long time to fill a bottle. I speak from experience as new father. Having a baby changes everything. Just being able to get everything together and get somewhere is an accomplishment in itself. If you're offended by it, then you need to rethink your priorities and look the other way.jshaas

Honestly I have to agree with JPL that it should not be allowed in public, as it technically falls under public indecency. Cloud_765

I'm not sure what I'm upset more by..the fact that women want to breastfeed in public..or all the guys in this board being upset that they may see a women's bewbs......:?Omni-Slash

sure it's one thing if she's flashing...(I'm not really bothered by that either....just being honest)....but how can anyone get upset by a woman feeding a baby?...I just don't get it....and I'm supposed to be the uptight repressed conservative type....:?Omni-Slash

I'm pretty much for anything that gets me to see more breasts

if women can breast feed in public, why cant i receive oral sex from a girl in public? Whats the difference

kryptonianpride

just do it in private because that makes sense.

But I think we can al tell the difference between some one engaging in a sexual act and some one who needs to feed a baby.

Totally agree with you here Deih, this is the one thread in the history of my posting at OT where I have actually had to leave because I am so angry and ashamed of the attitudes and narrow-mindedness of the people posting. JPL I am especially disappointed in your opinion - when people here are saying mothers should find somewhere private to do it - and there you are denying them the right to do it in the CHILDREN'S AREA of the library?? Maybe the Denver (sorry if that's mis-remembered) libraries are different to the UK ones, but still I think you are saying that nursing mothers should be condemned to their homes for 2ish years just to preserve your own twisted sensibilities. F*** if they can't even do it in the library...

I recommend you let someone else without a twisted opinion shelve the books for that 10 minutes or so :roll:

Plus for you all who say that society has ALWAYS been against breast feeding in public just look what I happened to notice on the front of my book today having been drawn to the attention of this subject through this thread:

That was painted 200 years before the USA existed FFS!

This RIDICULOUS attitude is a product of the last century alone and you should all be ASHAMED that you can't think of others enough to get over your personal inhibitions when a little person's needs are at stake. I expect you'd all prefer the starving children of Africa to eat in private because their extended starving tummies offend you as well. B*****ds.

I wouldn't mind to breast feed from a woman, whether it be public or not.

I can assure you, yes they are.

[QUOTE="jshaas"]I don't have to have kids to know that. I, however, have a friend who's a mother who feels exactly like me. Thanks for assuming that just because I don't have children, I don't know what I'm talking about. JustPlainLucas

Only if I can have some.

Should always be done behind closed doors. All pro health bfing aside, when I am in public and I have to take a leak, it is behind closed doors. Same should be done for BFing. If I take out my wang and water the bushes, chances are I will be arrested. Same for feeding.

Yes, they are.

Long as shes being carful and decent about it, there is no problem in the world with women doing something that breasts were made for...

And thank you for the sound advice (no pun intended :)). I'm at the stage where I accept pretty much any/all advice. I've heard some wacky things, but for the most part people have been VERY helpful and insightful.

[QUOTE="frostybanana"][QUOTE="Deihjan"] H-how?! She's got a baby, baby needs food. Not all women are comfortable with breast pumps, and some women can't even use a breast pump, plus its much healthier for the kid and the mother to share the bond that is breastfeeding. Get over yourselves, really. Normally I'm all for different opinions, but saying something as natural as breastfeeding ones child is a public indecency..that's effed up, man. The society we live in suddenly decides that all natural functions are bad, which results in an awkward society with men and women being offended by the slightest sight of flesh that isn't their own. You people make me sick, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves, or go back to the zealous cult you grew up in.BuryMe

But I think we can al tell the difference between some one engaging in a sexual act and some one who needs to feed a baby.

If everyone started walking around with no clothes on it would be entirely natural so i fail to see how I or anyone else should be offended by breast feeding in public.
