Personally, I don't think public nudity should be banned *at all*. It's the fvcking human body. You have one. You see it every day. What's the big deal?

What does feeding an infant have to do with public sexual acts?

damn you, you beat me to it!

As someone who breastfed her children for several years, I find the ignorance of young men to be fascinating.

Edit: also fascinating is the audacity of young men who think that their opinions on the subject mean jack sh1t.

Im not against. I just dont want to see it in places that arent appropriate for it, like in places of business. Thats just tacky. Do that at home. Thats all I ask.

Even George Bush and Bill Clinton would agree.

do you know how often a child needs to eat? every few hours. you sometimes do not have time to get home.

IF the mother is taking care to not flash everyone then no big deal. as other said you see more with a women wearing low-cut tank tops and such.

and no don't say t hey can go to the restroom and do it. there is so much bacteria and such that it is not healthy. if the mother takes a little care you shouldn't even know she is feeding the little ah heck.

Isn't your wife in labor waggy? Or am I thinking of another poster?

yeah she is. still not bad enough to go back to the hospital.

we have tried everything to get it go along. sex, walking, hell she even rode the lawnmower. heh

They both involve body parts hung out in public getting sucked on.....seems like the same ballpark at least (if not the same ballgame) to me.

The day before I had my daughter, I was scraping paint on the front porch, and the day I had her, I rearranged my bedroom, vacuumed under the bed, flipped the mattress, etc. God, was I nesting. What a nervous wreck.

Are you being serious? So BJs and breastfeeding are the same ballgame (I'm just trying to clarify)?

Uh, no, they aren't in the same ballpark or ballgame. If you weren't just making a stupid joke and are really serious, then I really don't know what to say to you.

Im sorry, I dont want to see that @ Wal-Mart or McDonalds.

Things are pretty tacky out out there already, the last thing I want to see is you semi naked, since chances are you arent a "10" anyway. I mean why else are you trying to shock the public with your display of nudity under the guise of "feeding your baby" when all you really want to do is expose yourself in public.

Do that at home or in your car if you like, but not at Best Buy. We dont need to see pancake areolas.

The reason I bring this up is because a local woman in Dallas was asked to leave a store when she wanted to breast feed in a waiting area at a furniture store. The store owner told her no and asked her to leave. She called the cops and the cop said if it was his store, he would ask her to leave as well. She left mad and called a local TV station. :roll:

So what do you think?


maybe you should move to saudia arabia? women could never do that there.

so basically....when a girl gives you a blowjob, she is feeding herself? A completely non-sexual act? This "food" actually substains her?
 
Yep, if it's done discreetly. Enough of such Puritanical American BS! An infant only has a brief window to receive mama's very important milk, and it should be able to get it when it needs it.

I'm just saying it's something to chew on for the evening.

Believe it or not... I used to live in Saudi Arabia and most of the hospitals are strewn with women breast feeding in public (as discreetly as possible).
 
wow. a blowjob=breast feeding.

really i do not know what to say to that. This is part of the problem i think. People see breast as purely sexual things and not what they really are. a way to feed babies. so they think a women breastfeeding is a sex act.

how ignorant actually.
 
Im actually suprised that the manager/owner of a business would take the chance of getting on the wrong side of this argument, the publicity can't be good. As a physician and father of 3, I can say that the argument about doing it somewhere else just doesn't work. When the child cries, most lactating mothers start to let down milk imediately, and the only thing to do is find a place to sit and feed. I also agree with one of the prior post that we americans need to get away from our puritan past and accept nudity as natural as long as it isn't public sex. I find it much easier to ignore a woman breast feeding than a couple practically dry humping eachother.

Not in my backyard mentality. Btw, naming leaders from the two dominant political parties in the USA doesn't garner any points toward your argument.

I'm all for it if the mom is hot. But you should see some of the creatures here in America.

But in all seriousness, when I'm out and about, I don't want to see babies in general. They cry, they smell and I don't want to see one sucking on his mom's tit.

Of course, anyone with an opinion against breast feeding is just going to get flamed to hell, so I don't even know why we make these threads.

Is it really that hard that no matter where you are, you just have to start feeding it right then and there? I can't think of one public place where you would be where you couldn't make it to a private area in less than a minute.
 
Having three children all of whom breastfed 'til three (YES THREE) I say yes. Public breastfeeding should legally be allowed anywhere people are allowed to eat. Anyone disgusted or bothered by it has social and sexual hangups they should probably be working out with a therapist.

If your need not to be disgusted outweighs an infant's need to eat in the most physically and mentally healthful manner possible you have issues.
