Good one Steven! If I walked into a Restaurant and every women there had her shirt flung open breast feeding, I would think I arrived at Hooters and enjoy the show!! :-)

But semi-seriously, I've never seen a woman breast feeding who wasn't being very modest with a shoal or loose shirt on.

Nobody forces anybody to look on. Breasts are there to feed children; other uses are
purely incidental, pleasant though they may be. Anybody who can't grasp and accept that
fact needs to take a basic biology class, not complain about the mother's behaviour.


I'm a supporter of breast feeding in public -- my wife did it, discretely (or as discretely as you can with twins suckling simultaneously, one on each side). But by your logic, nobody should complain if gentlemen expose and use certain of their bodily parts for the uses intended by nature in public places, eh?

Can I whip out the wang and pee as the spirit moves? After all, that is what it was made for....

I once had a not-so-young teacher who carried her new-born baby to class while she taught her college classes. In between classes she nursed it. Lord, the complaints from students -- some of them women.
I suggested they should transfer to another class or drop out of college. I think mothers should care for their kids and feed them -- but only when they are hungry.

Steven, dear, I agree. However, in a society that is unused to the sight, it can be disconcerting, as I mentioned in my posting. I am certainly not prudish, but I was a bit startled the first time I saw a woman just whip her shirt open at a bus stop and feed the baby.

I am not now disconcerted, but if I were feeding a baby now myself, I think I'd make a small gesture of discretion out of consideration for the shock element.
