I was at work on the first day of the sales (26th Dec) and there was this lady breast feeding her baby, i  mean breast all hanging out and what not. I felt really uncomfortable and even other people were commenting on it. however i noticed that same men that were 'complaining' about it couldnt take their eyes off her cheast!!

I mean if u knew u had a il baby to look after wouldnt u pepare a bottle or two rather than to whip the breast out in public. i dunnoconfused3

But anywhayhs whats ur view of women breast feeinding in public??

As a muslim and as a person grown up with a thing called decency I think its wrong to be doing that in public...when I used to work in a department store and we got females there who wanted to breastfeed their child we would always offer them the seperate function room...because we knew from experience some of these women don't give a damn and will "whip" it out in public. I myself would never entertain the idea of breast feeding my child in public...but a while ago I saw this black woman breast feeding her child on the bus at the front no less! I have to say I was shocked...all these people staring at her and she acted like it was nothing.confused3


Edit to say: I find it quite distasteful...but hey it might just be me!:?

as long as they are being discreet by turning their backs to people or using a shawl to cover themselves or something then its fine.  But the ones who just 'whip it out' are just vulgar exhibitionists IMO

its not on

make a bottle when going out

simple

you got breasts pumps and everything now adays

no need to whip ya tits out

especially when Im eating

besides that milks smells and I have a sensitive nose

so stay away from me

infact women with kids should be allowed to walk the streets at certain times of the day cos the clog up the streets with their damm buggies

pushing them round like a battering ram

*kiss teeth*

@blackpower

sometimes the problem with bottles with breast milk that if it is not used within 2 hrs it can go sour and off

so if baby gets hungray in 2 hours then you cannot give it a bottle, it is not as simple as opening a can of coke.

 

I am all for breast feeding in public as long as you try to cover yourself , but if their is no function ( and no going to Macdobalds sh*tty toilets is not an option, then let it be)

sorry

but  a grown ass man or woman being offended is not the agends at all , it is the baby needs a feed, end off - who cares about anyone else

jeeez you think the woman is flashing

I for one am dead against it!

Such women should respect the fact that I am incapable of exercising the amount of decorum needed to avert my eyes. Besides, as far as I am concerned feeding baby is just an excuse for her to flash her t*ts at me so why shouldn't I oblige her and stare for all I am worth?

Furthermore, it is such a pathetic excuse. Surely she knew the baby would get hungry at some point so why not just stay at home until such time, feed the nipper, then go out in public. That way she can flash her t*ts for me to see without baby blocking the view.......it's damn difficult to cop a good eyeful with a baby's head in the way I can tell you.

Better still, in the interest of public decency, just let the baby starve. Starving babies do not offend me half as much.

Respect

By the way this is a far bigger problem than people realise. I swear that I have observed as many as 5 occurances of this disgusting practice in the last 15 years alone. The last one was in 1997.

It is reaching epidemic proportions I tell you!

Respect

But urine infested walkways is far more acceptable than public brestfeeding don't you think?

It must be, because the breast feeding topic has come up far more times in public debate than 'men pissing in the street'.

Respect

erm

somebody tell me where this tread is supposed to be going?

offtopic.gif

kids pissing in the street dont bother me at all as they cant hold it in

But adults its just plain nasty as they can usally hold it but cant be botherd

I mean you never see a woman sqatting on the roadside (even though it does happen)

offtopic.gifagain

women did you know that if you really need a pee a policeman can offer you his hat and the privacy of going behind he car

its an old law from victorian times that hasnt been scrapped yet

however I dont think they are gonna tell you that

Ever championing the cause of Wimmin eh bro!

LOL!

What's the reward -

for conduct above and beyond the call of chivalry I wonder?

for unflinching bravery in the face of Misogyny?

Do you get a free gender re-assignment on the Sisterhood?

LOL!

Hmm - Breast feeding in the street compared to pissing in the street?

Er nope can't see the comparison -

Urinating in public might attract the long arm of the law.

Breast feeding in public might attract your right hand to your . . . .

LOL!

======================================

@ Dimoke

i swear that's what made me laugh

I guess some babies 40 years ago got given sour milk................which has not left the taste in their mouth yet in adulthood.

Anyway

 

somehow i think the only thing police will offer me is handcuffs .

I think anyone that has a problem with women breastfeeding publicy has a problem with women FULL STOP!(that means both men and women)

Breasts are chiefly designed as a food source not just for a mans pleasure.

There are ways to do it without causing offence of course,underneath a shawl,scarf whatever,but I personally dont think this sholud be necessary as it implies that feeding your baby is something to be ashamed of,how twisted is Western society????

Next time you see a woman breast-feeding in public,try not to sit there transfixed,watching her every move....yeah your really disgusted but you cant take your eyes of her,ha ha,I wonder why?? if it burns your eyes so much look away and keep your face buried in a good book which will ultimately be far better for society than your moral outrage.

Heres to mammalian protruberances and all that they stand for!niceone.gif

Hey Bro....Don't take it too seriously. I haven't. But I tell you what, I will pm my comments on any subject to you to ensure they meet with your esteem approval and are in keeping with 'the program' before I post....hows that? ;)

But I don't see this as championing women's causes (a pet hate of yours I know ;) ). I see it as protecting the God-given right of every suckling baby to suck women's breast in public. An admiable cause don't you think.


But seriously bro, you need to lighten up sometimes........I do.
