How do you feel about breast feeding in public?


I think it’s usually unnecessary, I don’t see why it can’t be done in a bathroom.

I have no objection to it.

And the reasons why you cant get a girl to touch you are becoming clearer.

I support women’s rights, I just don’t see why they feel so strongly about this one. Like it or not, breasts are sexual.

do you want to feed your baby on a toilet?

reply

True that breasts are sexual. But they are secondary sexual organ. The main purpose of breasts is to breastfeed. It's like the first priority. The foremost use. The ultimate function.

it has zero effect on me.

I don't see why a mother should have to feed her child in an unsanitary environment just because someone is offended by a tit.

Receiving blankets are wonderful to have on hand. So many uses for them...from breast feeding, for burping on the shoulder, to put the baby on when changing the diaper *in the restroom*, not on the table!

reply

Would you eat in a public restroom? But, there is a way to breast feed discreetly if the mom cares to do so. She doesn’t have to flop out the boob! Breast feeding should be a private bonding time for the mother and her baby done wherever and whenever needed.

Great answer

I have no issue with it but I do find it a bit unusual if a private spot isn't chosen when readily available. An example that comes to mind is years ago I was taking a train home. I was a few stops away from my stop and a woman got on and sat in the seat across the aisle from me and began breast feeding. Now it didn't bother me in the slightest but what i found unusual was that she chose the seat where she'd be clearly visible to me when the train was fairly empty at that point and she could've easily picked a more private seat. Maybe I'm just personally bashful so it's hard for me to imagine others being quite that comfortable with themselves lol but in any event it didn't bother me and I just carried on reading my book.

As I wrote prior there’s no need to flop out a boob to nurse. Discreetly done with a receiving blanket on the shoulders and draped over the baby. Nursing bras make it convenient to nurse. Sometimes I think these women enjoy the shock value they get when the hooter is flopped out. The woman you speak of was more than likely one of the teasers.

why does it need to be discreet? Did Mary discreetly feed Jesus? Because there sure are a lot of depictions of it.
"Hooter Flopped out", really? It's not sexualized, except in the preceiver's mind.
You seem to make assumptions and judgments based on........what?
I don't want to pick on you, but I must admit, I don't understand you. On many subjects.

reply

“Depictions”...not actual evidence. It should be discreet. There’s no reason not to do it discreetly. Whether you want to admit it or not the breast is a sexual object even though the mammary gland’s main purpose is to feed the young. When in public why make others uncomfortable? I have no respect for women who feel “The hell with everyone else! I’ll do what I want whenever and wherever I choose. Women with class don’t “flop it out”. Sure breast feeding is a natural function...so is urinating, but I wouldn’t expect someone to drop drawers. And, no, I’m not equating the two. It’s just there are social mores we adhere to.

BTW, I don’t understand you either other than I feel you believe women are superior. They shouldn’t have to answer to anyone. Do whatever they want without compunction. Men...bad....women...good

reply

Fucking hell, that’s a car crash of a post. “I’m not equating pissing and breast feeding, even thought that’s what I just did.”. 🙄

reply

depictions = beauty

reply

I have no reason to object. A bathroom is full of germs, not the place I'd wanna suck a breast.

reply

It doesn’t bother me.
