Oh hey, I'm just gonna eat my cupcakes and whip out my breasts! (for feeding my son)

So I'm just minding my business, slinging cupcakes like usual, and I happen to look over to the dining area and BAM! I have a breast in all it's glory looking up at me. Moments later, this woman's child latches on and starts going to town. Look, I'm not easily squeemish, so it didn't bother me really. However, can't you do that in your car? Or with a blanket? Or hidden? Or pretty much anywhere other than at a bistro table at my cupcake shop?
I'm not trying to start a war on breastfeeders here, but sheesh.

Some people are inconsiderate jackazzes. Had she been in a corner and at least tried to be discrete I wouldn't think a thing about it.

That would not be my preference either in a public place, but some women feel that breasts are not sex objects (I know men disagree) and that feeding your baby is natural and normal and something that needn't be hidden. Given our society's overall perceptions, however, my feeling is to keep it private.
If I were breastfeeding the last thing I would want would be some lecher ogling me as I nursed. And yes, there are plenty of those types to go around.

Equal rights: If I can't remove my shirt in the restaurant (which I'm sure I can't), then she shouldn't be allowed to either.

I am seriously questioning the masculinaty of some of the males that frequent this board. If women want to whip out their breasts in my business I will not take issue with it.

Darth my friend... breasts spewing milk... yuck
Why do women fake outrage when their breasts are oggled by the less sophisticated gender but feel free to whip it out with a kid. I got arrested last time i did that...
Besides, breast feeders are never the breasts you want to see.
Love the topic though...

What if you saw a cow feeding a calf. Would that be an undesirable sight?

Regardless....Breast feeding no matter how natural it may be shouldn't be done there.....Cows nursing a calf is totally different.

You need a cow in the back of your cupcake shop and have someone milk it in front of the customers. Say it's for the cream filling. yum.

You all would be saying, "Oh how cute" if you saw a cow nursing. But if its a human, then its disgusting.
Ok for cow. Not ok for mom.

What's a nursing mother doing in a cupcake store anyway? Aren't nursing mothers supposed to be eating a healthy diet of veggies, fruits, lean meats etc? Not cupcakes, right? My argument is she shouldn't have been in there in the first place!
Listen, I wouldn't complain if a mom wanted to whip her tit out to feed her baby. Baby gotta eat. The problem I see is the woman complaining that people are staring at her for exposing herself in public. I don't view a mother feeding her child as a disgusting thing - anymore than I feel like me taking a leak is disgusting. It's a bodily function. However, they should both be done in private, or at least away from the public eye. And if you pee in public or feed your kid in public - don't suspect everyone to accept your actions as only being biology - some might disagree.
