God I love commenting about anatomy.

I am amazed at the number of men that object to public breast feeding. As a man who is fond of watching women (over the age of 18) prance around nude, I of course have no problem with public breast feeding, but why do these men, that I assume also like to look at nude women, have a problem with public feeding? Might it be because they feel inadequate? Or is it because they are ashamed of the fact that they are jealous of the infants. I can understand being upset about nudity being broadcast over the public airwave, and people were right to speak out against the half time show antics at the Superbowl a few years back, but complaining about public breast feeding is ridiculous. Breast feeding is using nature's advantages, and why let what would otherwise leak into breast pad go to waste?

Amazingly America is one of the few nations that has a problem with public breast feeding, and I remember once waiting in line at Tokyo Disneyland where I spot several women breast feeding in line while they waited to get on the ride. Can you blame them, who wants to get out of a line that they have waited in for over 15 minutes?

If you're lactating, I say whip it whenever you want to, or more correctly, whenever you need to. God(dess) or evolution gave you those breast for a reason, and breast feeding brings you closer to your child, so ladies, please feel free and comfortable to use them. And if some jerks leers at you disapprovingly, just give them a piece of your mind. Say "I have these, and you don't, and I'm proud of them."

It's really sad that I have to remind men like you of this fact, but breast are not genitals!!!

"in fact, some of the most extreme negative reactions I've ever encountered on this issue have been from women. Care to psychologize about that?"

No, I don't care to psychologize about that, because I don't care to psychologize about that. I am not a woman, so I really have no room to speak for women on how they feel about public breast feeding. Women can speak for themselves on that issue, I'm not going to speak for them. Though I will give a suggestion on what I think is a good response for women to give to jerks that leer at them while they are breast feeding.

Also, as I noted, public breast feeding isn't considered a problem in too many other places in the world outside of the United States. The problem that American men have with public breast feeding appears to be a problem that is unique to American men. Why do American men have their problem with public breast feeding?

It's a good question, and I noticed you didn't answer it. And I don't need to answer it, because I don't have problem with public breast feeding.

Further more: If breast are an erogenous zone for women, aren't they also an erogenous zone for men (I like it when my nipples get licked)? Every part of the body could be considered an erogenous zone, because we feel with every part of our bodies, unless those body parts are paralyzed. However, the fact that you think that only female breast should never be exposed, shows how little you respect the perfection of the female body.

BTW "psychologize" isn't a word.

"she made no attempt to cover herself, it was absoultly horrifying. Have some respect for the people around you, just because your breastfeeding doesnt give you the right to make everyone around you uncomfortable."

What are you, a puritan?

Have you ever thought to explore why you felt so uncomfortable?

Never in my life have I felt uncomfortable around a woman that was breast feeding (or with any form of nudity in general), but that's just me.

I'm not saying we should have nudity displayed on the public airwaves, I'm against that, because it would give children the wrong idea, but breast feeding is hardly an inappropriate display of nudity (I don't consider breast feeding nudity at all, I consider it making use of a natural resource).

It sounds to me like you have an issue with women's breast (or just breast feeding), and I would look into that if I was you.

"It doesn't really matter WHY I think breastfeeding in public is rude and disgusting. Just like if I came over, sat in your lap and took a shit, we wouldn't need a conversation on WHY you'd find that unappealing."

Breast feeding is nurturing and beautiful, taking a shit is disposing of waste. Do you not see that they are 2 completely different things? There is absolutely nothing disgusting or rude about Breast Feeding (and Breast Feeding should never be done in a restroom), and you are a sick person for equating Breast Feeding with shitting.

You agree with me, and you're arguing with me because....???

To Leftychris

I found it interesting when you pointed out "unless Western Europe and Canada suddenly became "The World"." When I wrote that public BREASTFEEDING is not an issue in most places outside of America, I was talking about Asia, Africa, South America, and Central American. And I have heard that BREASTFEEDING is quite acceptable in Eastern Europe, so that covers every place except for America.

Again, why is it that SOME American men ever bring up the issue of public breastfeeding?

I think it is MOSTLY because SOME American men feel inadequate around nursing mothers, and they bring up the issue of public breastfeeding, because they feel more threatened by women than men do everywhere else in the world.

BTW I apologize for saying that you had a problem with breastfeeding. That was wrong, and I should not have done that, but your "erogenous zone" comment really got me going. Please accept my apology.
