"If You Don't Like It, Don't Look!"

[punch]

Damn looks like I'm gonna be breaking out the speedo this Saturday, and if people don't like it, "don't look".

yea... we won't.

I know some people won't but why do they have to look if they don't like it?

you consistently don't make sense.

the answer is, they don't. they don't have to look at your crap in a speedo, and they don't have to look at nursing moms. they don't. control your eyeballs.

 

[Crollo]

the answer is, they don't.

So then, tell me, you would know I'm nude, how?

We all seriously need to re-evaluate something if all the drama we have is over a thread about a phrase that somehow becomes directly connected to breastfeeding. Jesus christ.

This is a weird discussion. The problem that the morality people have with breasts is that showing them will reveal to the kiddies the hypersexualized way they are being portrayed in society. Yet breastfeeding is something that has been around even before we were a species. So the tension is between playing the (North American) culture game in which the breast is (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) not to be shown lest people succumb to salacious thoughts and action, and the more rational view that it is an organ used to provide sustenance to babies. My wife has breastfed each of our kids without causing a riot or undermining the morals of the population, as have each of my sisters-in-law...

As for the aesthetics of breasts, they are not much different from other body parts. There are pretty feet and ugly feet, nice bellies and ugly bellies, pretty faces and not so pretty faces...

So "Don't like it? Then don't look" vs "Can I watch then?". Seems like an even match lol.

try it. you're underestimating the violence a new mom can unleash.

So let me get this straight, public breast feeding is ok... but watching is frowned upon? Are there state laws against watching? No? Than I'm protected?! You mean I can do it and if the mother doesn't like that I'm watching, than she shouldn't... look at me watching? "Sorry lady... you don't like that I'm looking? Don't look at me looking!"

My kid seeing a boob is the least of my worries.

If you don't like insults then don't hear them.
If you don't like farts don't smell them.
If you don't like being raped don't get raped.
If you don't like pain don't get hurt.
If you don't like car accidents avoid them.
If you don't like dying then don't die.

 

[flowness]

Meh. Go ahead & look at me. Doesn't hurt me, couldn't care less.

 

[Derrel]

i'm not sure the point you're trying to make... or why you're requesting it. is it because you think you're calling a bluff, or because you want to have it for your own personal use, or both?

because i can point you to forums and flickr and blogs that do just that, if you'd like them.

Nice try, but weak sauce punch...

Let's see you strident women put a little skin in the game, so to speak. Or, just shut up...

that's extremely offensive.

no one here has made the point that they want to be viewed while nursing, simply that it shouldn't offend you if you happen to glimpse it. that's been the whole point all along.

i am really surprised at you, derrel... to be honest. your post was really sh!tty.

Excuse me, but YOUR post was really shi++y,punch. Your ad hominem attack on me was uncalled for and juvenile. You allegations and insinuations of pervish desires on my part is what's called an "ad hominem attack",and was truly juvenile. Here's what my initial post was all about...just to help you out.

excerpt:Device #1 Hyperbole: This is the most popular and commonly used rhetorical device in the entire world of rhetorical devices!


"Hyperbole is a powerful rhetorical form when used properly, but a terrible distraction when used improperly. It consists of exaggerating some part of your statement in order to give it emphasis or focus. Hyperbole is never meant to be understood literally by the reader, and you should make great care to make sure its intent is apparent."


Well, you see, punch, I guess I over-estimated your ability to recognize the #1 rhetorical device in all of writing... Sorry..I will not over-estimate you again...

What will happen? Will the woman beat on her chest and grunt and scream like an orangutan?

There you go again! If you didn't like that specific post, then why'd you read it and get insulted by it?

 

[Derrel]

Quoting punch here:

"jesus christ, derrel,really?"

You brim with class when called out for attacking somebody, then trying to act all butt-hurt. [That is sarcasm, in case you don't recognize it!]
