I'm not a breeder. Dont expect to be (especially since most of my nights -hell, even days - have been plagued by annoying hot flashes of late)..

but if I were to breed, I'd breastfeed.

If someone has a problem with it.. as far as I am concerned it is THEIR Puritanical issue, not mine. I would NOT just flop it out there (god knows, I havent got enough to flop ANYTHING out there), but you can bet your bippy that if some restaurant patron called the manager to evict me for breastfeeding, and the manager DID SO, there damn sure WOULD be a VERY PUBLIC lawsuit .. news stations, papers etc.
And honestly, if I was with a friend who was breastfeeding and it happened.. same result.
just sayin....

i have 2 UM's i breastfeed my youngest one, and i had an incident happen at HOME. I was sitting on the couch watching tv and feeding my UM when i head screaming outside. Well my other lil one was out side playing and i ran out to see what happend baby still attached so to speak, i have him and most of my upper body covered up so no one could see and my next door neighbor made the comment that it was "tacky and rude to be outside feeding a baby like that" i was shocked to say the least. I felt this was my home and she had no right to say anything to me.

You know what continues to baffle me? Why is this phrase so readily uttered by so many for something like breastfeeding.....but not for anything else?

Seems to me society would be much better off if people got over themselves and realized that they made a choice to be offended by something, be it breastfeeding, a bad word on a T-shirt, a word or sexy shot shown on a TV or radio show.

It seems to me that ego is society's main enemy.

I got to thinking about this more yesterday when the news had a story about a municipal courthouse closing down because the AC was out. Now, in most places in the south, if there are computers (and thus servers) AC going out in the summer can be BAD, not to mention what it can do to people. The temperature inside a building in the south with no AC can easily get to 90-100. Most people in an office environment would praise their bosses if told to go home because the AC was out. Yet on the news, people were so angry that the courthouse had the audacity to close when THEY took off work to go take care of whatever issue they had to take care of.

We're no longer a society of WE. We're a society of "ME." It didn't start with breastfeeding, but it's not going to end there, either.

Loki, that is because we've become a very selfish society. Forgotten courtesy and manners and made it alllll about ME.

well wait...if it were all about me (or whomever) the majority of nursing moms would not be as discrete as we are

I would never wear a profane tee shirt in public...it is offensive to quite a few and not necessary. Nursing IS necessary and done properly should be offensive to no one.

Most of the clothes I own others are offended by
when I wear my kilt out people tell their children to look away and will actually steer them away from me so they cant see the "Man in a skirt"
I gave up on trying not to offend people a long time ago.

But most of us have already agreed that not every mother tries to be discreet. Some on this thread have seen women walking through a mall, shirt hiked up, showing everything she's got, including the breast.

As for necessary vs not necessary, that's not relevant. It's not relevant because it's in the eye of the one performing the act. So you don't think it's necessary to wear a shirt with a profane slogan on it. It's not your shirt. It's not your call. If you don't like it, don't look.

"If you don't like it, don't look." That's the way it should be for most things, and it's the way we think about things we do.....but it's not how we think about what others do.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Society has one common belief, and that is "It's none of your business what *I* do, but it is *my* business what *you* do."

That's getting far too common in this world.

What constitutes profane?
I had a hoodie from an awesome little tattoo parlor in Vegas called "Picture Perfect" Their image was of a woman wearing a short skirt and fishnet stockings bent over, with tattoos on almost all of the skin
is that offensive?
I also have a shirt that says Think, its not illegal yet, and people have told me that offends them, because it apparently means I am bashing the government
You never know what is going to offend the random people you see in your day to day life, why bother worrying about it?

All it says to me is they're not concerned if you like their clothing or not. I mean I know a person here in Sacramento who says it's not appropriate to wear a Halloween shirt on any time BUT Halloween, and I don't give a rats ass if she thinks it, if the shirt fits my personality I'll wear it any time of the year I like, she can just continue to disapprove all she likes , don't bother me.

i agree...but where do you draw the line? Where does legal turn to illegal?

A woman walking through a mall nursing her infant is, in my opinion, an idiot. You can easily drop the child (especially when they decide to show mom what they can do with their brand new teeth), and you are showing everyone that you have no concept of dignity.

Idiotocity (new word?) is not against the law

Exactly my point. There is no one person who decides what is and is not profane or offensive. Many years ago, I saw a t-shirt with a picture on it of a cat and a chicken angrily starring each other down. They were each holding a wounded arm, obviously caused by the other. The cat looked at the chicken and said "Chicken." The chicken looked back and said "Pussy!"

Now, my stepmom....with 4 youngin's she was looking after saw this shirt and said "Oh that's cute." Many I know say it's clever. Yet I have seen that shirt on the news at least once with someone saying it's profane.

Greedy,

Early on in this thread it was stated that if you aren't or haven't been a nursing mother, "you have no right to voice an opinion on this thread". Just letting you know.
