Breast Feeding At Mass

Im not a man, so I dont think the "Im horny lulz" example applies here. And besides, thats incredibly sexist too. To assume the only problem men can have with it is that they are horny? 

 

 

*facepalm*

 

That.

 

Was.

 

My.

 

Point.

 

And of course women should be modest. As should men. But really, if society held men to the same standards we hold women, my God but the bsing would not end. 

 

Do you not think it's incredibly sexist to think that the only thing a woman's body is good for is sex? Perhaps you do not think it, but in our culture, that idea exists. All one has to do is look at the entertainment industry.

But in all fairness, with that logic, you should be yelling at me for being a lactavist, because it's me having (very) strong beliefs about breastfeeding mothers. I'm a man (sort of) "getting involved", if you will, on the argument.

 

So, are men not allowed to have opinions on breastfeeding, or are they allowed so long as they believe women can breastfeed wherever and however they want?

 

Well, if "getting invlolved" means making women cover up so they don't "stumble" or making them breastfeed secluded, then...no, they don't get to have a say.

 

But really that goes for women, too. If they get all horrified and try to stop a mother from breastfeeding, then they're pretty much in the same boat.

Okay. I just wanted to see what you meant specifically is all. "Getting involved" can either men simply having an opinion, or being very forceful and stopping people from breastfeeding in public.

I think at the end of the day, people dont have a lot of exposure to breast feeding moms so they are a little thrown off when they see it.

 

People feel how they feel but at the end of the day the mother doesnt always have the choice of going somewhere more private for the sake of modesty. Baby has to eat when a baby has to eat.

I totally hear what you are saying. It's not as common place to have a lot of babies and kids around that are breastfeeding in the average American town, so it can be jarring to someone to see a mom breastfeeding.

In my case, seeing a mom breastfeeding is pretty normal. I saw my mom breastfeed ALL THE TIME when I was growing up with 5 younger siblings. But even in our own home my mom covered herself.

 

Its usually when I see a boob pop out is when im like "Oh snap, look away!"

Mostly because I feel like the mom doesnt want me staring and her exposed chest! 

 

 

Like in the case when the mom was non-covered breast feeding in her kitchen while talking to me...her boob was exposed. I was like "Om.g dont look at the boob! Dont look at the boob! She will think Im rude if I stare at her boob that is hanging out of her shirt! AHHH"

This is why the Jurassic Park scenario is our only hope. We're up to five pages because people have issues with feeding kids. "I'm really not sure about all this breathing going on IN MASS!"

With the power of the internet we may soon have the technology to make such an experiment possible:

Totes.

Im only prolife until the baby is born. Keep the baby at all costs but once it pops out Ill have nothing to do with it anymore.

If it cant feed itself then too bad!

 

I have a huge problem with feeding babies...like the biggest problem.

Side note: mouth breathers are the worst kind of people. It's bad for your throat (Scientific fact), and incredibly annoying, thus endangering your health by astronomically increasing your odds of getting beaten up.
