Lol, for me to have a conversation with you would be hard. We have very didn't views, and you obviously stand strong by yours, as do I. I say this to use your vegetarian choice as an example. You don't see meat eaters going around saying, he look at me, I eat meat! Do you?

Anyways on-topic, yes, find a bathroom. That's why there are nursing stations in both the mens and womens restrooms. The main contreversy with breastfeeding is the nipple being shown. Strippers on billboard show everything but that. I'm not sure the logic behind this, but for some reason, the government feels that the nipple is the only part that should be hidden. I've seen women breastfeeding in public and 9/10 times the whole breast was showing including the nipple until it was in the child's mouth.

So yes, find a bathroom. Like I said, you stand firm by your thoughts and beliefs (I assume) so I don't expect your thought process to change after all this, but that is my explanation.

On the vege topic, I myself dont go around saying, look at my i dont eat meat, you do you bad. I get **** all the time at school.

But designated nursing stations area good idea. I have not seen much of them though. bathrooms I find are gross. It is unsanitary.

And it is nice to see I can have a nice convo with someone here =-D

People like seeing giant images of strippers on billboards. What could possibly be wrong with having them?

Nothing is wrong with them, but when a woman is using her breasts what what they were made for, and she get's harassed for it, that is stupid...

In case ya didnt know, they are just not *** objects Robbie...

Edit: Sorry for the double post. If a mod wants, they can feel free to merge.

Personally, it bothers me.

Why can't women nurse at their house? Or if they don't have a house, at some bathroom or somewhere in a secluded area? Maybe it's kind of awkward for me because I am of that gender and you males just don't get it. And to compare public nursing women with strippers on billboards is ridiculous. I'd go full into it, but you'd be stubborn enough to try to prove me wrong anyway.

lol, just caz I am the creator of this topic doesnt mean anything...I am pretty sure me and Zac Glenn had a great convo about it.

lol

wow. Some ppl...

You're right. Some people have common sence and the ability to read between the lines, others don't.
Let's drag your name into category two, mmk?

And never in the history of me posting on this site have I ever said that you being the creator of this topic has anything to do with how you disrespect people. So how about we, and by "we" I mean "you" (just to make sure you understand), stop tweaking words and read a book or two about the meaning behind simple posts.

edit:: I'm done here. =]

The mother should breastfeed in a bathroom just to avoid commotion.

There's really nothing wrong with breastfeeding, say on a park bench, it's just our "society" doesn't "allow" it.

Exactly, it's not "socially common" as other things have become in recent years, for example same ***(cex) legal courtship.

What's wrong with breast-feeding? We're mammals, it's a natural thing. What I think a lot of people (guys, mostly) don't realise is that a) there isn't always a bathroom and why should a woman have to do that in a place where people release their excrement? and b) if a woman goes too long without breast-feeding her child, her milk production goes down. This is bad for mothers who want to exclusively feed their baby with breast milk and NOT formula.

Once in a while, a woman just might not have any other choice. Either way, I don't think it's up to any human being to be disgusted about it. It's a bodily function that your mums probably used with you. And if not, that probably explains a lot.

I agree with MQ 100%

I think it's just as 'wrong' as going for a leak behind a tree.

It's perfectly fine if no-one's looking. ^_^
