been a little MIA lately

I am still stunned that there is anything weird or odd about nursing a baby to some people. I don't even blink at an exposed breast.

People don't enjoy seeing people breast feed, but they are some how horrible people because they dislike the sight.
Kissing is perfectly normal, but two 19 year olds tonguing each other down on the corner while you're waiting to cross the street is something I'd prefer not to see (or hear).

I'm against public breast feeding, but I don't make threads about it and then condemn those who do it. Some topics are one way effin streets.

It's our culture. Breasts are used to seel everything, from cars to mascara but then somebody gets them out to feed their baby and everyone freaks out. Well, not all the time but a lot, and women are expected to feed their babies in rest rooms etc.

Ermmm no. Breasts were a part of sexual psychology long before they were used in advertisements. Breasts being a sexual aspect is one of the things that makes it "weird" to some people. I wouldn't want my infant to be sucking on the same boob I was sucking on the night before. Also, the exchanging of bodily fluids in public is also a gross concept. HIV is transmitted via breastmilk, as well as other diseases.

Also - making a thread about breast feeding, with an image of breast feeding should be labeled as such in the thread title. You can tell me to not look, but you can't tell me to unsee it if I was never warned.

I respect the fact that you have a differing opinion but at least be accurate in your assessment.

Breasts were used to nurse long before they became a sexual object. It amazes me how people are ok with all the crap on tv yet flip out when a breast is actually used for what it was designed for.

What about my post said that sexualization of breasts predated nursing? Or that I was ok with " all the crap on tv"?

There's nothing inaccurate about my assessment lol.

Religion made breasts sexual by hiding them.

Any disease that a mother has a new born baby will have. And why would it matter? Are you drinking the same milk? Is there milk gushing all over the place?

Man boobs excepted, of course. :mrgreen:

Naturally. Well, with the lack of women and stuff in Maine...

You almost appear to be motorboating in your Avatar! :thumbup:

Just because the mother has a disease does not mean the newborn will have that same disease. There are many factors. I am all for breast feeding and the benefits that come along with it, but I really don't want to see pictures of it either. Just my two cents.

And? How does that make my statement inaccurate now?

Any disease that a mother has a new born baby will have.

So a woman can't contract a disease AFTER a woman gives birth? Interesting.

And why would it matter? Are you drinking the same milk? Is there milk gushing all over the place?

Do you not have an imagination where you can't think of at least one scenario where you would inadvertently come into contact with breast milk
due to a nursing mother? And yes, milk can and does gush.

These are side bar conversations that are besides the point, albeit the inaccuracies aren't within my posts.

The idea that I would consume breast milk inadvertently isn't what turns me off of it.

I dont really want to see pictures of bugs close up....
but im not going to complain about it if i happen to see it in a thread.
i dont see a necessity to post details about every picture you post in the thread just in case someone isnt going to like seeing it.
NSFW is the only exception, and this clearly isnt.

What a misogynist.....Jeez.

Lol gotta love when breast milk is labeled a bodily fluid and basically compared to urinating in public. I'm obviously all for women's breastfeeding rights or I'd not have organized the event or posted.. But for those against.. Do your think you'd feel differently if you're were raised in a different society? American Society and all their breast "sexualization" is the reason nursing in public is so taboo in this country. Most if not all other countries no one bats an eye and it's perfectly normal. That tells me Americans are the problem, not the breastfeeding in public.

well, breast milk is labeled a bodily fluid because it IS a bodily fluid.

It's our ****ed up country that has repressed sexuality for the last 200 years to the point where a single exposed breast in a superbowl causes people to go into convulsions. But hey violence is ok but a tit is off limits.
