Okay, now that I have your attention. I have mixed feelings on this. First, it's pretty Busch League to have taken this lady's pic and post it for all the world to see (without her consent). However, the guy does have a point. My wife breast fed all our kids, BUT she covered up when doing so in public.

What is the LR's thought on this? No breast-feeding in public? Let it all hang out? Breast feed, but apply a bit of modesty (for the sake of others)?

This is the TC....

on another note... Is this what goes on in those other forums? Hardly ever check.
 
Wrong board...but I'll take a stab anyways.

No breastfeeding in public when that much boob is exposed. There are too many perverts in the world who would take pics and post them to message boards for total strangers to analyze and judge....just cover up or go some place more private and avoid the drama.

I'm conflicted on this. On one hand, I feel that if the kid is hungry, it needs to be fed or else it's going to be crying (and no one likes that). That, and we should be a society that says "Yes, it's perfectly normal to breastfeed in public". On the other hand, I feel it's kind of rude for the mother to expose that much boob in public. It would be similar, in my mind, to talking with my mouth full or not shaking hands when one is warranted; just pretty inconsiderate of others around you.

Yup, we talk about everything BUT sports in the LR.
 
My wife has a special coverup that she wears for breastfeeding. This lady could do the same. Should it be illegal, No. Is it wildly inappropriate and unecesary to expose your breast in public, Yes.

Free the tata's! Women should be allowed topless wherever men are allowed to go shirtless. Since this is a restaurant, men need to have shirts, so she should be covered a little more, but still I have no problem with it.

It's a dumb stigma. If the woman is comfortable exposing her breast while feeding her child, it shouldn't be a deal. I know if there's a young child around some people get upset, but this is nature.

Our society is so "sex is taboo" - we should lighten up. A breast-feeding boob is not sexual, despite all of our attempts to make everything about the woman's body sexual.

We wonder why "boys think of sex every 7 seconds" ... Well, we stigmatize sex & it just makes it "naughty" & even more appealing.

She was on the news saying she was shamed online etc. my two cents are you are able to do what you want within the law as long as you're willing to live with the consequences. There's nothing wrong with this guy using his phone in public. If she has an issue being seen in publican a certain manner, than maybe she shouldn't expose herself to those circumstances. If she doesn't want her boob online, keep your boob covered. Plain and simple IMO

She should be able to breastfeed, but she needs to be ready for criticism for people who don't agree. Simple as that. Can't complain you don't like someone's view on things when they did the same thing.

I sat next to someone breastfeeding at their seat at a Yankee game last year. I was cool with it so long as she was cool with me drinking and yelling.

Meh, boobs in public don't bother me. But I am NOT an advocate of bottomless nudity. Don't put your browneye, ball sweat/smegma and/or vagina slime on any surface I may want to sit down on.

So as long as the genitals and anus are covered...go to town.

Nowadays people snap photos of others unbeknownst to them and post to social media all the time. Just so happens this one captured a woman breast feeding. She could have been picking her nose and nobody would be complaining about it being posted without consent. As for the boob, I don't have a problem with it but you would think she would make an attempt to cover a bit more just to avoid all the gawking and whispering going on around her.
 
The world drives me crazy. I'm too old for this stuff.

Hey lady...throw a towel over it. It's not that hard...99% of women manage to feed their babies with a little bit of discretion. Your total disregard for even slightly covering up means you are making a point, trying to draw attention to yourself and the issue, so don't go boo hooing about it.

Dude...what's the big freakin deal. There's more important things in life to worry about...your kids will be fine.

The seeming unlimited reserves of outrage over things in this country is insane. The need for everybody to conform and comply with what you think is simply exhausting. Do people really have nothing more in their lives to concern themselves with?

No, there's nothing wrong with what she's doing. There is certainly something wrong with the dumbass taking the picture. He's probably just an asshole who wants some social media attention. I highly doubt he was really bothered.

BTW, there is a lady whose daughter attends my daughter's school. Both girls are 4th graders. Almost everytime I see this lady at a school function, she's nurising her baby daughter the same way. No cover, mingling with students and teachers. Doesn't seem to be aq big deal.
 
My wife used a coverup in public when she was still breastfeeding. IIRC, it's called a Baby Au Lait.

Don't see the big deal if they minorly expose a boob to feed a kid. I don't notice that kind of thing anymore I guess.
 
We have a little one who is still breastfeeding...like Lou said, throw at towel over it. If my wife did that in public I would accuse her of looking for attention and causing unneeded drama. She would never do btw....just sayin.

It's unfortunate that SO many people in our puritanical society have been taught to be ashamed of their bodies. So, in turn, they grow up believing that everyone else should be equally ashamed of their bodies. And any time that they see it isn't the case, they feel compelled to force them into being ashamed, or at least being punished for feeling differently.

It's a breast. Regardless of how much we try to sexualize it, it's primary function is to provide sustenance to babies. I've got no problem with women breastfeeding in public - covered or uncovered. It's only a big deal when d-bags like this make it into a big deal.

Overall, I agree and personally don't have an issue. But isn't this just another example of simply conforming to social norms, i.e. closing your mouth when you eat, not cursing in front of kids, taking your hat off at the dinner table, etc.? Most people within the social construct don't agree, BUT have learned how to "compromise" within the structure so that "everyone" gets along.

Most know what's acceptable and what isn't (what won't get a rise out of folks). It's almost like she's asking for attention, then complaining when she gets it (regardless of the fact, the guy posting the pic was a douche canoe in doing so).
 
They should only be allowed to breast feed like that if the boobs owner is a LR 8^.

A decade or two ago it was the social norm to ostracize and discriminate against gays
A few more decades ago blacks could not go to the same schools or ride the bus with whites.
A century and a half ago it was the social norm to enslave blacks.
The list goes on and on. Even today it is the social norm in some places that she couldn't expose her face or ankles.

I'm gonna say no. There is nothing righteous about following the social norms just for the sake of not offending someone for something silly.

I agree with you that this is the way that it mostly is. However, I hate that the expectation is that people live their lives in a way that it "won't get a rise out of folks". It transfers the responsibility for the problem (that getting a rise out of something meant and being used to feed babies isn't necessarily "normal") onto the person who's not doing anything wrong. Not to get too far off topic, but it's kind of like "slut shaming" a woman who wears a short skirt or a low-cut top. It's the gawkers who can't control themselves, so why should the woman have to protect the gawkers from themselves - rather than expecting people to be able to control what they look at, and not overreacting when they see skin?

I don't know that she was asking for attention. Maybe she was. Or, maybe she just wanted to do her own thing without being harassed and perved on by some guy with a camera phone.
 
All this talk about Boobs and breast feeding is making me hungry !
Gotta go.

I wonder what the penalty would be for such exposure in Saudi Arabia?
Click to expand...

In the presence of men? Quite a bit. A 19 yo girl who was kidnapped and raped by 7 Saudi Men received 200 lashes and 6 months in jail just for violating the gender segregation code by hanging out with one of them.

And if the nudity is tied to witchcraft, it can mean death. In a separate incident, a group of witchcraft enforcement "officers" broke into a woman's HOME and found her nude, smoking pot and burning incense candles. Although they also added the trumped up charge of "flying" on a broom, she was set to be executed and I believe they did carry it out.
 
And to go further off a tangent as I just looked up some current Saudi laws and you're much better off murdering someone than "practicing witchcraft". If you're a Harry Potter there's no alternative but execution, but if you commit premeditated murder in Saudi Arabia you can forgo your own execution by paying diiya or the "blood price". Being a backassward country like it is, if you premeditatively murder a Muslim you've got to pay $107k in 2011. If you murder a Jew or Christian you have to pay only $54k. And if you murder an atheist, Zoroaster, Budhist, etc...anyone not of the book, then you only need to pay $7k. Heck at those prices, if you were a Muslim you can probably just murder a random atheist just for S&Gs.
 
If she whips them out in public, they are ripe for public (social media) consumption.

Yes, those prudish Americans....
In England, Scotland, and Ireland women can breastfeed in public, but they do it discretely. Also in Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Sweden mothers cover their breasts while breastfeeding. The same attitude covering themselves is observed in women in Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece. On the other hand, mothers in Switzerland, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Belgium do not feel embarrassed nursing in public.
 
Pretty much sums up (sadly) how many people view breastfeeding.

And a hint, it's a satire piece, but it speaks to the point of why you can't "just cover up". When my wife was breastfeeding and would use cover-ups, my son would start sweat up a storm and turn red as a tomato. Especially in the warmer months.

Tip #1: Use a cover. Every time. There are many fancy ones on the market. Damask. Lace-trimmed. Or how about a swaddling cloth (if it's good enough to warm the baby Jesus, it's good enough for your kid)? Statistics show that human beings love being in confined spaces. Babies are on their way to becoming full humans, so this applies to them as well. I personally eat many of my meals under a loosely draped fitted sheet in my bedroom and find it quite enjoyable.

Please do not use summer as an excuse to flash your flesh-toned milk bags. Just last week I ate an entire Italian sub under a handmade quilt in 90 degree weather skin-to-skin with a close friend to simulate summer breastfeeding. Were we hot? Yes. Were we uncomfortable? Yes. Did one of us briefly lose consciousness? Yes. Did we subject anyone to seeing nipples? NO.

Do not be fooled, the importance of air circulation has been exaggerated by politicians. Ten out of 10 babies reported loving the sensation of breathing repeat CO2. There are women who can breastfeed without anyone knowing what they're doing. If they can do it, so can you because all babies are the same.

If you have a rebellious/bad child who pulls your cover off in a desperate attempt to breathe fresh air and see the world around them, consider some home training. It's your job to teach them right from wrong. Should your original sin infant not respond to discipline and still reach out for new oxygen, place two little straws in their nose scuba-style so that cool air can be retrieved from under a burlap cover without making us all barf from the sight of your boob flesh.

Tip #5: Get some morals. Do you have sex in public? No. Then why would you pull out your SEX BREASTS for your baby in public? Just because something is natural, doesn't mean we all want to see it. Yes, we will tolerate a celebrity nip slip or areola display. Yes, there are breasts splashed all over magazine racks and on television bouncing up and down to pop music, but that's different. We're OK with boobs if money has been exchanged. Has your cheap baby paid you? No? Then wrap it up.

In conclusion, breastfeeding in public is for lazy, exhibitionist, thrill-seeking, husband-stealing mothers who have nothing better to do than to make the rest of us shrivel in disgust. So cover it up. Love, Us.
 
Don't get offended by seeing this but if you whip it out in public, dont be pissed when you have people staring at you. Dont like being stared at? Dont feed in public.
