I have absolutely no problem with breastfeeding in public. The problem is every time I try it the kid, and sometimes the kid's mother, get very upset with me.

Women who breastfeed their kids are great moms. I have to not stare when the women do it though! Boobs are fascinating!

If you don't like it, don't look.

I didn't catch the whole story..but from what i understand, a lady got fired from her job for pumping milk (in the ladies bathroom) ..and now the lawsuit is on.



What is absurd is that there wasn't any other place she could go to pump. Would you really want to prepare food in the room designated for taking dumps?



Where the hell else is she supposed to go when she's at work? Do it right at her cubicle? At least she was trying to find a more private area.

Hmmm, let's see. Screaming hungry baby or a chance to catch a glimpse of skin or nipple? No brainer.


Folks that are offended by one of the most natural activities in the world need to grow up and simply STFU.

This is one of those where the true extent of my 'truly classic liberal and civil libertarian' streak shows... where I hold true to my promise that I am truly about as far 'left' on some issues as you can get without getting a divide-by-zero error.

I honestly believe it is unlawful, unconscionable oppression to pass laws that stop one from using one's body from doing what it is DESIGNED to do. Womens' breasts are DESIGNED to healthily feed our young. Anti-breastfeeding and public nudity laws involving breasts are among the most clearly oppressive, clearly wrong laws we have on the books. They're a pinnacle of a double standard, and a crystal clear case of misogyny.

No joke.

You're right, you should strive and hope for a society where people are afraid to feed their children in their own community.

While I agree with your sentiments, you have your political left/right spectrum mixed up. Left is authoritarian, not classical liberal.

This shouldnt be illegal. They should just say how it should be done. I still dont see how a breast feeding a child is offensive to anyone. Its not sexual in that context
