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.
shareI'm for it but my gf isn't into pda

I think people should grow up and understand Breast Feeding has always been an important part of most our lives. There are aspects of a woman's appearance and breasts I find enjoyable. But a woman feeding her infant child shouldn't be something we should be kibbutzing about. It should be as natural as wearing Socks with Sandals. Sure, there are degrees of being discrete, but people will always interpret this in different ways.
BTW, I'm not going to say public bathrooms are an ideal place to suckle an infant - far from it ! But for sheer cleanliness, the bathrooms in a lot of chain stores are cleaned routinely and somewhat thoroughly. Which is more than I can say about my own Water Closet.
I really couldn't care less
shareNot a fan. At least cover yourself up. And don't do it in a restaurant.
shareI have no strong feelings but I do think being discreet about this body part is more comfortable all-around - what I'm saying is doing it in public is fine if there is no more private place for it, but maybe a blanket or keeping clothing arranged somehow.
shareHow is 'not looking' so hard for so many people?
shareSpeaking about adults I don't know why that would be a problem for anyone. As a former 12 year old boy I can see that age group finding it difficult not to look. Less in a leering way but more in a giggling curiosity sort of way.
shareIt's not " a problem," dipshit. But what is so wrong about expecting a little discretion?
I DON'T fucking "LOOK" and I happen to be not a 12 year old boy but a straight adult woman, so it's not like I have any urge to "look."
What the fuck is wrong with you that this is the conclusion you jump to as to why discretion is appreciated?

Why are you calling me a dipshit? I was responding to BigWorm, not you.
I actually have no issue with your opinion on being discreet and understand why people feel that way. My response to BW was that I don't know why it would be a problem for adults not to look but as someone who was once a twelve year old boy, that a breastfeeding woman would be fodder for looking and giggling. Wasn't in any way trying to imply that you had a problem not staring.
So to sum up, I was in no way responding to you or your post, only BigWorm's which I realize was an extension of yours since he was responding to you so I do apologize for any confusion. That said, you really need to work on learning to argue your point without profanity and name calling...if I didn't know better I'd think you were a twelve year old boy ;) share
LMAO - How is covering up your fucking bare boob so hard for so many people?
Seriously, I don't care that they're breast feeding right in front of everyone's fucking face, but what is so fucking hard about just being discreet with it?
What the fuck is wrong with you? Against a little discretion because you just want to be able to watch? Sicko.
I'm starting to wonder why MEN have such angry feelings about anyone daring to suggest it would be polite for a woman to be discreet with her breast while breastfeeding.
Funny that. MEN getting so mad just because a woman on this thread (me) says to cover it up.
Take a long hard look at yourselves - why are you getting mad at a woman having an opinion about something YOU don't even get to do?
Well, theres a lot to unpack there. Not the least of which is your attempt to make this about you. You dont speak for all women, just I dont speak for all men. Perhaps, you should think of your opinion as just that not as a be all and end all of womans opinions.
I find it quite hilarious that you dont want my opinion(a man opinion) because it doesnt side with yours, but youre happy to say nothing about all the men before me once again telling women what they should be doing in public. One even going so far as to equate pissing in the street with breastfeeding.
To some up, you do you and everyone else will do what they want. And maybe just maybe we can let women do what they wont in public without calling them, or eluding to them, being sluts.
Eww, public bathrooms are disgusting and full of germs. Sometimes they stink too. People have to evolve from medieval Puritanism and get pragmatic about breastfeeding. Most mothers use shawls and specially designed shirts to breastfeed, while there are some who have no qualms about baring their breast to feed the baby. So what? In European countries, it is no big deal. Why stigmatize such a natural, healthy way to nourish an infant?
shareWhy is this seen in such black-and-white all or nothing terms?
Why are you calling a call for discretion as "puritanism"? So to your simple mind it's all or nothing, it's either "Every woman should get her naked tits out and feed in front of the world" or "People want a woman to hide in the shadows of the filthy bathroom"??
Uh, no.....why is a middle option making people attack the person who suggests it?
Why are you guys so angry about the COMPROMISE of just being a bit discreet? That's not puritanism that's just polite society. This IS still a body part that is usually accorded privacy and modesty. That doesn't go away just because it's also temporarily a feeding method for a while.
I fucking give up on this thread. By the way, I'm a woman and I find it highly suspicious and it even angers me that men think they even have a say in this, about a body part they don't have. Or shall I start in on telling you what you should do regarding circumcision, involving a body part I don't have? No. You don't like THAT discussion from a woman so stop attacking anyone who even suggests covering up a breastfeeding. Agenda much? FUCK OFF.
Maybe your “simple mind” 🙄 should read my answer more carefully before cursing off some ranting reply.
There’s nothing black and white about leaving it up to personal choice. So you claim to be a woman? Ever wear a shawl to breastfeed on 105 F day? Baby gets all hot and fussy, Mom gets all sweaty and uncomfortable. All for what, discretion? Why put people through such discomfort and even dangerous conditions because the sight of a breast triggers some primal reaction in the less evolved? Meanwhile men with moobs to rival Dolly Parton and backs as hairy as Sasquatches are free to jog all over cities.
