As usual, we manage to find ourselves on much the same page.........<VBG>>......Since it is "theoretical", the reason I used breast- feeding was because it is not inherently offensive to many, or even to most in context, and it enjoys widespread approval. Thus, it is a good case study for issues surrounding discretion, courtesy, and the resolution of public conflict.......

You do...? "I just think hungry babies take precedence over most anything." Even precedence over adults who have physiological and psychological reactions which cause them to have to face the facts...? -even if the facing of these facts of life cause these 'adults' to feel out of control and jealous of the Infants Primacy, contextually...? imo, Asking...no, requiring a Woman to Nurse, "discretely" is an example of society's deep resentment for the obvious child...The Woman. Women internalize this male denigration in it's most subtle forms...I think it's unacceptable to send the message to Mothers..."You are doing a disgusting, distracting and unpleasant task...please do it elsewhere...!" ...[-and WE will force, no require, you to comply, by ordinance..."] Just imagine a world of Overturned Roe and No Public Breast Feeding...[unless deemed 'discrete'...by the Secret Suckling Police]. Right...where are we going? Get off our beach or I'll sick the dogs on you!"
