Re: breast feeding in public - April 7th 2010, 07:17 PM

I just think that the reason why some people are so uptight about seeing breastfeeding in public is because over the years it has been shoved in peoples brains that breasts are no more than sexual objects and serve no other purpose.
I can -kind of- agree with you, but not completely. Yes, over the years...boobs have been made into sex objects. But that also includes the whole female body and the male body as well. But yes, boobs do represent more of a sexual object. HOWEVER, there's a difference between breast feeding and breast feeding in public. Breastfeeding...that's completely natural. Like everything else, it has health risks but hey, it's your baby. But breast feeding in public? That's potentially a very awkward situation for someone (most likely a male, since I haven't really seen a female in here complain about breastfeeding) who isn't used to seeing a woman breast feed a child in public.
