This is true, Monkey but following that line of logic, we all have pee holes so why not urinate in public too.

Pfft people do.  Men more.  I'd rather see breastfeeding any day than some guy standing by his car at the side of the road just because he can't wait until the service station.
 
But then, comparing urinating to breast feeding is pretty moot.

If you would eat in a toilet, I guess I can understand if you wouldn't have an issue with people breastfeeding in one.  Me?  I wouldn't eat in the toilet - not even suck on chewing gum.  Would you eat?

Actually, as bad as it sounds, I have. But I was a youngin' and didn't want my food to get cold. But then I was the one in my family who angled mirrors and left the door open so I could watch TV while in there, too.

Ahh the silliness of youth.

I was in a Target and asked where I could breast feed my baby. They sent me into the bathroom with a chair. Thats the U.S. for ya!

29 years ago I breastfed my daughter in our home, in restaurants, or where have you. I never breastfed to make another uncomfortable, since it was very easy to wear clothing that would cover any sign of me breastfeeding. My hungry daughter could have cared less where she was fed. Yes I even have sat in McDonalds and breastfed way back when. I find it insulting to a woman who wants to breastfeed to be told not too, but those same men would pay to enter a strip joint.

I think this is all a symptom of a much larger issue. As we as a society go on and on about what is "our right" to do we no longer think about what we should do. Women went from calf-length, modest dresses to skirts that don't even cover their pubes in less than 50 years. And why? Because they have a "right" to look like a skank. Sure, they can look how they want, but when I stare at some chick ass that's hanging out, I'm the bad guy....right.

It didn't stop with clothing, either. Any display was 'fine' because it was a person's 'right.' To hell with anything remotely resembling common decency. That's long dead. Well, it's long dead until you're one of the afore-mentioned skanks who thinks a man should remain 'decent' when faced with a woman whose bits are hanging out.

You're not contaminating any one elses space by feeding your baby from a tit covered up with a privacy blanket

You are however contaminating public spaces by pissing on anything you feel like, and there is not and I doubt there ever will be laws protecting the right to do so.

were I ever to start a family, my submissive wife would be treated like a fucking queen if she were carrying or had given birth to my UM. She'd probably get annoyed by the attention, honestly. I'd be her protector, her waiter, her chaufer. Yes me, the uber-dominant, male-chauvanist asshole would be a fucking puppy dog.



Now many have said women don't have a choice. Maybe not. But that's society's doing. Women USED TO be married first. And their husbands could and SHOULD act the way I would if I were an expectant father. But when more and more assholes who shouldn't have been fathers to begin with started running from their responsibilities, things like breastfeeding in public became more and more of a necessity.

Like I said, it's all a symptom of a bigger problem. Unfortunately, I can't solve the problem. At least not for anyone who's not me or my loved ones.

I think "decency" becomes relevant when a woman's breasts are considered items for sexual gratification only and/or the owner of said breasts is considered to be responsible for the reaction and behaviours of those who do.  It doesn't make sense to me.

Actually, urine is sterile. You're not contaminating anything unless you have an STD that is transmitted through bodily fluids.

There was a time when tender private things like this were done at home. A time when no one expected to see a nursing mother because her husband or family treated her like a queen and got anything she desired brought right to her bed side.

You were expecting perhaps a lounge? It's a store, not a nursery.

Loki it's  a beautiful thing you propose to be for your wife, if you ever have a baby with her, And being married certainly does help, and we'd hopefully be married and stable before a baby entered our life, but Daddy would still have to work full time every day day in and day out, sept 2 days a week, which days off are NOT a guarantee  in hisl  line of work, in the past they've had him working 7 days a week. starting almost at the crack of dawn* ok that parts an exaggeration, he goes into work at 8, sometimes at 6 an* He would not be able to do what you propose.


And the world is going to hell in a hand basket yes.

I was expecting to be treated with some dignity. The cafeteria or an office would have been much better than the bathroom.

i do not view feeding my child as a tender private thing. I see it as being a mom.

on the few occasions where i had to nurse in public it was done very discreetly. i have no desire to expose myself. There are nursing shirts that make discretion a given. and blankets help too.

Nursing a child is the most natural thing there is.

Is that the time when women went down the coal mines to push wagons and hack at the rock? These women frequently took their tops off and worked bare-breasted, the heat was such.
