  • I grew up around women breastfeeding where ever they wanted. While I'm a female, it still made me uncomfortable. I think it should be done in private.

      • Is it okay if I take a huge sausage shit right here? I'll cover it up, you won't even know it's happening.

        Sure, many things are natural, but it does not mean we should be able to do it in public. Urinating is natural, defecating is natural, intercourse is natural, etc. That does not mean we should do it in front of everyone. Breastfeeding is a not a spectator sport.

        • You missed the entire point of the article.

          Your example is stupid. Bathrooms exist as a coverup for public defecation and urination. They even have portable toilets in many places. The sheet is an attempt to prevent prudes from freaking out over seeing a boob but even that offends you? That is so strange. Oh my god, you're wearing pants! You have a naked body under those pants....outlaw pants. It's offensive....see, it's a ridiculous argument.

          Also, breast milk doesn't spread disease you fool. It spreads nutrition and happiness. Quick! outlaw it.

          So sorry you are offended by boobs, but that isn't my problem.

          • I too have boobs. But what's indecent is indecent. There's no way around that.

            Why did you share that ridiculous article? At least think for yourself.

            • Difference in opinion. I see nothing indecent about boobs. Maybe think about what that word means. Who told you boobs were indecent? Why did they get to make that decision for you? Why do you think that?

              Again, you missed the point. It isn't my problem that you are offended by boobs.

              • I'm not offended by breasts. I just disagree that breastfeeding should be legal in public. To me, it's like seeing someone piss in front of me. It's not necessary.

                I can assure you, you are far more passionate about this than I am. And that's your problem.

    • But it's not like they're right up in your face... you can look elsewhere and forget about it.

        • Why not? I'm not attacking you, I genuinely don't understand why you think your comfort level, that you have the power to control, supercedes the physiological need of an infant to consume food.

          • Parents shouldn't be exempt from the law. If public nudity is illegal, then breastfeeding shouldn't be allowed in public. You can feed your child in private.

            I also don't want to see people masturbating in public, even if it is a "physiological" need. Again, do it in private.

            • Masturbation is a sexual need. It is not on the same level as satiating hunger.

              Breastfeeding is hardly public nudity. If mothers were stripping their tops right off, I would totally agree with you, but for the most part, the only way you'd be aware they were doing it is a) if you were staring right at it or b) they were wearing a breastfeeding cover, in which case there is nothing to see.
