Woman verbally attacked for breastfeeding in Conn. Target

[phitness]

It's always hillarious to watch americans discuss thing that are a non-issue in other parts of the world.
Being afraid of seing a tit...always remembers me of Markene Dietrich "Sex: In America an obsession. In other parts of the world a fact.".

it's not so much a tit as it is the disgusting thing it's attached too and how repulsive that is while you are trying to eat.

I extend that to any PDA between any combo of genders, do that shit at home, no one wants to see any one sucking face.

So you are a prude. And the world should kowtow to your prudishness. GTFO

If we are using this video as an example, it appeared there was only 1 person offended, and others either defending the woman, or minding their own business.

Yeh, I bet at least of few other were thinking "cover yourself woman" while only one person was acting like a raging douche. I see that woman, feeding like that, I would think the same thing, "why cant you cover yourself, or do it at home, thats gross" I just wouldn't berate the lady, because while she is being inconsiderate, that shit is just crazy.

And to be clear, that guy was a twat, and 100% wrong in his actions.

I figured we were in agreement on that. =)

Don't conclude from yourself onto others.
No one would include every single person there is. Please, speak for yourself and yourself only, would you?

It's very natural. Also natural to be attracted. What's nature? Might should screw it altogether.

She was in the cafe/restaurant section. Her baby was drinking/eating. Isn't that what the section is there for?

Dunno man, not sure if you could bring your own food.

Dammit Marie, how many times do I have to tell you?! No infants at the fucking dinner table! Now put that thing back in the cage until i'm done eating!

And you would go about your day, and forget about it before you realized it. Which is why I don't see it as a big deal. It is a forgettable moment.

What about when "the establishment" is on the side of the breastfeeding mother?

The establishment is a minority itself.
Not one of us here is part of it. The common citizen is not part of it.
The establishment composes entirely of upper class members. If one isn't part of the top 20%, they aren't part of it.

Wow people are actually offended by breastfeeding WTF

I actually smile when I see people being cute in public sharing a kiss. Now if they are full on making out passionately, I would think they should go somewhere private and allow that love blossom into the next steps of intimacy. But a cute hug and a peck and a smile. That fills me with joy.

I'd imagine most babies are more pleasant to look at than you. You probably chew loud or with your mouth open.

1. That guy was a complete ass hat. Not that he was wrong in his opinion, just he was wrong to act like an asshole. Probably in need of some anger management or something.

2. While it doesn't disgust me or anything, I still don't understand why women can't just stop doing it in public. Generations and generations before now, women didn't do that in public, I'm pretty sure. Babies also don't have to eat immediately on a perfect schedule, so there's typically very little urgency involved.

3. To counter myself, I especially like boobs so I guess keep doing it so I can see more boobs.

A little consideration goes a long way to making the world a better place.

Step one of that consideration is minding one's own business.

Step two is getting out of the left lane if you aren't actually passing someone, but that's a different topic.

Yeh, Im not a crazy person, its still an avoidable, uncomfortable moment, if the woman displays a bit of consideration for those around her.

It was shown in an article posted about a page ago that the disgust was a manufactured by the marketing teams at Baby Formula companies.

The 1950ish period to now is what you're referring to with "generations". So... two generations vs. all of human history.

This really pisses me off, there is nothing wrong or sexual about breastfeeding, if anything I encourage more women to do it, it's healthier for the baby. If I had seen this, that man would be a lot less worried about that woman as I would be in his face tell him to back the fuck off.

While what he did was dumb, he didn't "attack her" and if anything the other people in the video attacked him.

Women didn't breastfeed before the 1950s?
