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.
Beth you know darn well there's an appropriate way it could have been done.....Not arguing that it's gross or nasty, but come on....She could have easily gone to her car or whatever, but in public.....That would be like needing to use the bathroom and they were all occupied, but I had to go, but went out in front of the coffee shop and peed by the tree.....It's natural, I need to relieve myself isn't it.....It's natural we all pee.....The mom has obviously seen "it" before she has a kid, but it would be indecent of me to do that.....But it's natural.....

LOL...LOL...LOL
Peeing on the tree would be okay except it spreads nasty germs, I don't want to eat and walk where folks have urinated. I have a friend who has breast fed all of her children, and I could see her doing just that...I wonder if it was her (Florida???) I think the woman sat very publicly to state a point ....it's just a boob, get over it. It doesn't matter what I would do, another woman breast feeding her baby in public...I could'nt care less.

Besides, breast feeders are never the breasts you want to see.
This.
Just because it is natural doesn't mean I want to see it while I'm eating cupcakes. If that was true, there would be Nat Geo magazines in these places. When you are in a restaurant, an "I'm going to do what I want to do and everybody else can get over it" attitude is the attitude of a rude person. She was being rude; that's my opinion.

 

[2quills]

Let me guess. Instead of going over and kindly asking her to cease doing that you diceded you would post about it instead to get your feelings off of your chest?
That's about as cute as watching someone take a number 2 while you eat your number 4 large sized with extra mayo.

Regardless of how people personally feel about this, she is legally allowed to breast feed in public and businesses that try to restrict this will absolutely lose in court if they try and deny her that right and she sues.

Doesnt mean that its not somewhat odd but she's allowed to do it anywhere she wants and can not be forced to go to her car or a bathroom. Companies are also required to have a secure location that any employees who are nursing can go to in order to pump and that location can not be a bathroom.

 

[2quills]

Well it should be banned. Breast feeding in public ruins 10's of thousands of meals every year in this country.

 

[beth]

It is just a perception or mindset that a woman, in the USA, should not be doing this. She must be an exhibitionist or an activist if she nurses her baby in public. And the reason for this mindset is because people are pretty much just viewing a woman's breast as a sexual organ, and to actually see breasts in this other light is disturbing.
Its just a breast and its function, believe it or not, is to feed babies. LOL That we find other entertaining things to do with breasts is just----glands with benefits.

What is it about it that really bothers you?

 

[2quills]

It doesnt, actually. Probably because I'm smart enough to look the other way. Are you going to turn into Mr. Overly sensitive now because you can't see that this whole thread is one big joke?

I'm not overly sensitive at all, and personally, I dont see why a woman would WANT to do it in public. I know when my wife was nursing my twins she would never have considered opening the buffet in public, so to speak. But, the fact remains that this is something that has been brought to court many times and the women win...

 

[2quills]

The women always win, Zim. And im just busting your chops my man. I really have no issues with breasts in public at all. Cause I can chose to look at them or not as long as they are on display.

 

[beth]

If you see a woman sunbathing at a beach topless do you look the other way? This would be a much more public exposure then breastfeeding but I'd bet that a lot of ogling would be going on rather then feeling like something wrong was occurring that you'd need to turn away from.
Again, it is just a perception that such a thing should be private. Yet, we see mom's feeding their babies with baby bottles in public all the time--no problem. The problem is with the perception that a woman's breast is a sex organ and its being exposed for a reason entirely unrelated to sex. This somehow boggles our mind, making us think that something inappropriate is occurring.
Why is it ok for men to be topless in public and its not ok for women? Because the perception is that a woman's breast is a sex object, and so, must remain private.

Expanding on that...I bet every man here has watched porn or a sex scene in a movie in their lifetime. Did they feel uncomfortable watching that then?

+1000!
Pez...She was being ...rude????
It's would be rude for you to stare, and it's rude for you to get offended and want mom to go hide in the car, instead of a nice comfortable seat in a resturant to enjoy the company of whoever she was with and having a day out.
2Quills...I'm shocked that you think feeding a baby in public should be banned, and it ruins your meal????
Women who breast feed don't have their babies vomiting all over, which is a gross natural response many babies have to being bottle fed an un-natural food.....now IMO... that can ruin a meal.
Pumping a breast to extract milk, into a sterile container that has to be washed, to transfer to a bottle, that must be washed, the milk refrigerated, and then reheated to be usable......mom gets a few hours of sleep when baby sleeps, that first year of taking care of baby is exhausting...look at all the work and time saved by just feeding the baby the way God intended.
Acrylic52...comparing urination to breast feeding???? because both are "natural"....
Feeding a baby, be it with a boob or a bottle is just feeding the baby. It isn't a matter of "it's a natural thing" like urinating...natural mothers milk is the best food for baby.
Lets see a guy pump his penis, pour it into a bottle that must be sterile and then warm it up to pour it into the urinal for disposal, then wash the container...No, you whip it out and just pee...that's how it's done. I think men should do like I do to do the "natural" thing...sit on a toilet in an enclosed stall and tuck it into the toilet to pee instead of just stand there and let it rip, while other men stand there and watch...a pervert might be lurking nearby and get aroused. I think it was Beth that said a pervert might see mom nursing and get excited....lets face it..a pervert can get excited over a woman's sandles because he has a foot fetish, we can't live our lives worrying about a possible pervert being nearby.
The mother was just feeding her baby, grow up already.

 

[darthtang aw]

I would rather the baby be suckling than endure ten minutes of hunger crying because mom didn't want to be "rude" and finished her meal.

 

[2quills]

Gee wiz. Apparently my sarcasm is lost in this crowd.
Mothers should have the right to feed their children how ever they see fit. Just like I should have the right to ogle over boobas if they happen to be staring me right in the face.
It's called freedom of choice. Which is something that appears to be in pretty short supply around here these days.
Although im entirely confident that many folks out there would wish to see that banned as well. They might even be the very same type of folks running around here crying to ban everything else thats good about this country.

 

[beth]

This is a fun topic for me; and believe me when I say that I am not offended or put off by anyone feeling that boobs should remain in bra in public. I know most people in this country feel this way. Myself, I would not choose to breast feed in public, but it wouldn't worry me if someone else did.
Its just interesting that this is a social perception of wrongness.
Ogling while not a crime, it is rude or even crude. We all do it, however; its human nature too.

 

[2quills]

Ogling is rude I agree as im sure my wife would to. And even though most would consider breast feeding in public as being rude it isnt a crime either. So whats the problem? If you dont want to be stared at then keep it concealed. If you have a problem with breasts then look the other way. This stuff is really pretty simple guys.

 

[crimzy]

I think it's wrong. A lady can't walk down the street topless. Am i not supposed to teach my daughters that breasts are a private part of their bodies? If i don't want to take my kids to a topless beach i don't have to take them to one, nor would i take them to Vegas or south beach for that reason. There is a time and place... and a cupcake shop isn't it.
