[quote name='Kayden']I was listening to a local radio show this morning on the way to work (92-KQRS) and heard something that pissed me off. Apparently Barbara Walters- and a number of other people- has problems with women breast feeding in public. Why do people act like its not ok to acknowledge the fact that women have breasts? How can you be offended by something every mammal in the world does? What is wrong with a woman covering her breast with a child and feeding her kid on a plane? Would you prefer the little thing sit there screaming? This is even more rediculous than the Jannet Jackson thing. I just can't understand why people would get all hot and bothered by someone feeding a child.
I know sex is a natural action and shouldn't really be done in public view, but thats a lot more graphic that a simple breast being used to feed a hungry child.
Am I crazy or something in thinking that this is the last thing people need to get bitchy about?[/QUOTE]
Apparently Barbara Walters and a number of other people are idiots. Breastfeeding children is the most healthy thing for them, it's been proven time and time again. As long as it's discreet, which the vast majority of women attempt to make it, there isn't realliy a probem, is there? Our society is so fixated on nudity (and especially breasts) and equating it with sex, it really baffles me. Not that breasts aren't attractive, of course.
