This is a comment (rarely do I post them) and I want you to view it as if we were studying something scientifically in a cage. The reason why is it exemplifies precisely the psychology I'm talking about and reiterates my point;
I see absolutely nothing wrong with breast feeding in public. What's the big friggin deal? Somebody's "sensibilities" might get offended? Because god forbid somebody get offended, we should have laws against that shit so nobody will ever have to feel bad again. Ever.
I shall point out just these few points and leave the rest to you guys;
1. The absurdity about making laws so that nobody feels bad anymore. I feel bad this person has the right to vote. I feel bad I can't drive 100 MPH on the interstate. I feel bad a democrat is president. I feel bad Green Bay won the super bowl. So let's outlaw these things? It's so childish and inane the point needn't be hounded.
2. Notice I've made no demands or requests to outlaw breast feeding in public. I merely am pointing out many people find it inappropriate and will continue to find it inappropriate, whether it's legal or not, and when confronted with the fact that this might deter potential suitors, the cage is severely rattled.
Enjoy the decline!
"It would be great if they called an artist and asked them to do something," she said. "I love the idea of documenting the nurse-in with photographs and blowing them up huge and putting them on the walls of the museum. That's what museums do."
ReplyDeleteLeave us just see whether these women value having their naked breasts photographed by strangers for public exhibition as much as they do cramming their cause down the Hirshhorn's throat, shall we? They're on federal land, in public. They have no expectation of privacy.
I understand the pragmatism of it and the right to do it but it just seems crass and rude. It's like wearing clothes all together, I live in Phoenix and it's warm enough here that wearing clothes is unnecessary so if I'm by myself I don't wear them but when in front of others I wear them as a courtesy because WE DON'T WANT TO SEE EACH OTHER NAKED, cover that up, I don't want to see it (for every one person I wouldn't mind seeing there are 20 who remind me why it's not worth it).

ReplyDeleteNow I'm sure he's gay
ReplyDeleteIt's common sense people. Yes breast feeding is good for babies and yes it is a woman's right to breast feed her child but for Pete's sake not everyone wants to see it.
ReplyDeleteI am a mom and I did breast feed my child but I removed myself from public to do so. If the bathroom didn't have a place to sit, I went out to my car. Yes, I missed out on conversations but breast feeding a child is a private thing. I don't want to see someone else's boob hanging out in the middle of a restaurant while I'm trying to eat.
Really. Would they be making the same big deal of it if a woman whipped out her boob for her boyfriend to play with???
I'm not quite sure I see what the possibility of "deter[ing] potential suitors" has to do with anything. If anything, these women have plenty.
ReplyDeleteGreat! As I understand it this woman is advocating a law against feeling bad and being offended. Wow! Imagine the liberty and freedom of actions!
ReplyDeleteI really don't care about public breastfeeding, it was historically common. Big deal. But based on her advocacy for a new law, I could stare, take pictures and such and it would be against the law for her to be offended. Of course this is absurd, but do people (especially women) understand the concept of unintended consequences?
I once went to a restaurant where the woman at the table next to mine -- a 25 year-old grandmother -- changed a baby's diaper on the dinner table, so I'm actually relieved when all I see is lactating women in public. Still, I'll buy the "it's just a natural part of having a child" argument when I get to watch the conception at the park, too.
ReplyDeleteUnless you like your lunch served to you in a public toilet, shut up about the lady in the museum.
ReplyDeleteLaws regarding breastfeeding in public (which my wife has done thousands of times) are yet another example of how if we don't have basic common sense, we will have laws.
ReplyDeleteTo help here; no problem if you feed your baby in public, but apart from the little one flipping your shirt or shawl up, we really don't need to be seeing your breasts.
And regarding the earlier post, I actually have seen a young lady flip up a breast for her boyfriend--on a public train in Portland. For whatever reason, she didn't seem to care that the car was pretty full of people. Oh well.....if we do not have basic common sense, we will have laws, won't we?
Because god forbid somebody get offended, we should have laws against that shit so nobody will ever have to feel bad again. Ever.
ReplyDeleteGee, I wish I could ask her about "hostile work environment" sexual harassment laws, boycotts of people who do things she doesn't like, and general PC. Got a paycheck says she'd reply "that's different".
