Poll: Breastfeeding in public

[infohippie]

Wow, I'm honestly surprised so many people have a problem with it. It's perfectly natural, and I don't see why it makes anyone uncomfortable. They're just boobs and a baby. I also don't see why people feel the need to consciously look away. I mean, I wouldn't stare, but neither would I make a deliberate effort to avoid looking in that direction. I treat it just the same as someone scratching their ear, or taking a bite of food.

breast feeding is as natural as taking a crap or peeing.

but we dont (normally) pee or poo in public do we?

if you do breast feed in public dont get offended if people stare.

And taking a shit is just as natural as eating. And eating is what the baby is doing. And we all eat in public. I believe that's what you call a "logic smackdown".

eating doesnt involve body fluids coming out of your body like poo and pee.

all you need is a bottle ( you should have one just in-case )
fill it with your own milk if you feel the need before you go somewhere
just a tiny bit of organisation makes this a non issue

why involve strangers in your personal bodily functions?
i don't pee in a cup in public, and if i did i'd probably get arrested!

And unless your eye is a centimetre away from her nipple when she's doing the feeding, you won't see any fluids. I doubt you'd even see it then, considering it only comes out when the baby actually gives it a suck. And in fact, with the baby's head in the way, what you see 95% of the time is slightly more cleavage than normal. Big fucking whoop.

and honestly, to the guys that voted yes because 'omg tits!' how-many women in your local town / supermarket / bus stop do you REALLY want to see flopping out a nipple to breastfeed now and then??

if a guy peeing in public is obscenity or indecent exposure or whatever then so is this, clearly
plan ahead.

Children of breast-feeding age (and this may come as a shock) don't regulate themselves to breakfast, lunch, tea and elevenses.

Sometimes, they will be caught short. You just sound disgruntled because you can't flop your cock out in public and piss wherever you want.

 

[Nouw]

Enlighten me, can they use a bottle or do they have to do it that way?

 

[yourverysilly]

anything to see tits out in public. Awesome. Titties.

Can't? What's this "can't" nonsense? If I need to go, I need to go.

Haha, can't "with the permission of others around you" I should have said.

not really.. it would make incredible mess, i'm comparing it to something i Wouldn't do, because it's a bad thing...

Getting your tits out in public is not decent. I don't see why breastfeeding is an exception. Take the tot to the bathroom if you absolutely must feed it now. But better to carry a bottle if you know you're going to be out of the house for awhile.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

For.

Babies gotta eat...so what if a boob is out at a restaurant? I bet it's bothering the same people who would be annoyed if the baby was crying because it was hungry.

 

[A-D.]

Everyone here from either Crowd of the 3 Options was Breastfed i bet.

And you can sure as hell bet your collective butt's on it that it happened AT LEAST ONCE in public. So please go tell your Mother how inconsiderate she was for feeding you when you cried for food in public before you learned how to walk, or talk.

/Thread. Really..dont see what the Issue is. Dont like to see a pair of Boobs? Dont look at them.

 

[andeve3]

There are no good reason i can think of for it to be considered wrong.

 

[Brightzide]

Im not opposed to seeing breasts in public. Can be a healthy pick-me-up for the day sometimes. And hey, its a completely natural thing to do, nothing to be ashmed of, or even offended by. It may be a common courtesy to not do such actions in public, but hey! In the end, we're all animals, just do what animals do right?

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

It should be illegal.
If you're going to pull out your breasts, I will pull out my penis.
I'm warning you.

This made me actually laugh for a few minutes. Well played sir. Well played. Extra points if you go up to a mother with a baby in public about to breast feed and just anounce this.

If the baby is hungry then it's hungry. Everyone should just get over it imo. It's really not that bad, it's not like you see anything anyways, Babies have big heads you see.

As a 20 something man, I feel perfectly justified NOT wanting to see certain things when I go out into public.

Entitlement, the other other white meat of Modern culture.

I think its just a matter of being polite. If you do something that makes others uncomfortable EVEN IF YOU DONT SEE WHY you be polite and you stop, or do it away from them. You know what you call people who do it anyway? Ass holes. In ANY situation where one person is uncomfortable. How hard is it to go to the bathroom and breast feed? Really. These are the people that are entitled. "I have my right to make this whole room uncomfortable and deny them the right to do anything but look at the floor when i could take a 30 second walk to the bathroom and make it easier for the both of us"

These people are my LEAST favourite kinds of people. Because i can. They are told they should go to a bathroom and JUST because they are told the argue they should be allowed to do so in public even though theres no reason why its better than a bathroom. Your baby isnt going to die on the way to the bathroom lady. These are the same kinds of people where, if you made it illegal to ram pinapples up your ass they would then do it just because. I hate these people. Argue for real rights. Not assholish rights you can easily FOR EVERYONES BENENFIT work around for almost no loss on your end.

Dont /thread yourself. I know you think we will all be so blasted by your Godlike opinion that our pathetic mortal words are nothing by comparison but please My Radiance. Allow us simple peasant folk a chance to express our stupid mewlings as well.

 

[ScoopMeister]

You should put a I dont know option btw.

I think you'll find there was an I don't know option.

 

[mattsipple4000]

Men are allowed to be shirtless in public, and they don't even use their nipples for anything. Why not let women breastfeed in public?

COULD NOT AGREE MORE!

how many public toilets do you want to eat in ??

and it takes time to use a pump to get the milk out and into a bottle!
