Maybe if we all stopped seeing breasts as something sexual, it wouldn't be so much of a problem for women to take their breasts out and feed their baby. I don't really have a problem with it and I think the only reason other people are bothered by it is because they see breasts as sexual body parts. But at least most of us don't live in countries where we have to cover our ankles. I'm just saying, it could be a lot worse but we are far ahead of issues like these compared to many other countries. Just not quite there yet.
Any place besides a restaurant is fine. It's not rude of me to ask you to not do it in front of me when I am about to eat at a restaurant if your table is across from mine, nor is it rude for you to whip it out on a park bench. Babies are hungry and by all means feed them regardless if you have nothing packed, but if you are going to be in a situation where you can pump beforehand to avoid spoiling other's appetites when you are in a public place specified for eating, that would be polite and appreciated by those around you. I won't put you down for doing your job as a mother, just don't negatively affect others with your actions. I would say that to anybody, regardless of their situation, breastfeeding or something else.
Thank you for your comment :)
The way I see it, way too many immature men can't see a boob without wanting to suck it themselves. The only brains they have are in their pants. I think it is a beautiful thing to see. A mothers bond with her child is one of the most special things there is. To hell with the childish jerks.
Thank you very much! I agree!
Thank you! I really enjoy it when the youth of today can look at things with open minds. Sadly way too many just believe what they are told by those with an agenda.
Me too. A lot of people my age make me feel ashamed lol
Trust me, I get that. My Grandaughter says the same thing.
Some women do what the woman with a blanket over her head is doing. That's fine at home, but in public, I don't care who is around, people are going to be uncomfortable with an entire breast exposed. I feel like if you're going to breastfeed in public, the tarp is unnecessary but make some effort to conceal your breast like the last picture and the woman in the purple sweater.
I can understand this. Usually when I feed my baby nobody knows I'm actually feeding her!
I am all for breastfeeding an infant. There is nothing wrong with it. Breastfeeding has so many positives for both mother and baby.
I do support a little modesty with it as most of the world finds the naked breast also a sexual connection so society demands that you keep those babies covered... pardon the pun.
And yes, the physical purpose of the breast is to feed the baby. Other purposes are to give you a figure to fit that dress or top, to give you attention from the amount of cleavage you show, and to give your partner something to play with (no need to give an example here).
Tits have one sole human purpose... feeding babies. Period.
Sure there's pretty ones and not so pretty ones, and they can be curvy and be the ultimate physical feature of femininity. But they're for feeding babies.
My wife's got fantastic tits (I mean f**king FANTASTIC). But guess what? She's got great legs and sexy lips, and drop-dead gorgeous eyes too. Her tits fed our two kids... LIKE THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DO.
Of course, some women have no choice and cannot breastfeed... but that is super rare. Most choose not to or just give-up. And that's irresponsible.
Your job as a parent is to do the best thing you can for your child. It is widely known and documented that breastfeeding is exctly that.
Grow the f**k up
Typical. And incredibly ignorant by choice there Pheonix98. Nice.
Blocked and deleted my reply? You're here posting supportive comments toward cultural sexual discrimination and then go delete and block a reply that illustrates a woman's shaming experience in the face of opinions like yours about breastfeeding? An illustration that makes your stance look pretty darn immature and calls out a narrow-minded opinion and obvious lack of a rounded education outside your own little bubble?
Wow dude. Wow.
Nothing wrong with seeeing boobs. Nothing wrong with the naked human form. People need to get over that Christian modesty bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning dressing like a slut, but people need to get over seeing a child eat the natural way.
Exactlyyyy
You know slut shaming is also the reason female body is sexualised which leads to other humans telling people not to breastfeed.
I don't like feeding in public but I have done so, I just make sure I'm always covered with a blanket. I do feel it makes people uncomfortable, it's quite a private thing. However, it's also necessary - and very beautiful, I love the connection I feel with my baby when I feed him.
I understand that completely :)
I think society and media have created the problem. Breast implants simulate "Mother's Breasts Full of Milk" which have been turned in Porn Fantasy Breasts.
Plus movies have made big women's breast the center of more male fantasy.
But don't forget for women Victoria's Secret's "push up bras" to simulate "Bigger Breasts" to attract men. But many men also have a fantasy about young fertile women whom they can make pregnant. Breasts full of milk = young and fertile and that is a sexual turn on for men. I think breastfeeding fears relate to the idea that men might "get turned on sexually" by the sight of big full breasts because it is equal to a "sexual turn on" for many men in our present sociaty.
Thank you for your reply! That's very true
Breastfeeding is fine in public but I do feel it's just courtesy to at least "try" to be modest and cover up. Some places even have baby rooms so just go there then. In general, I just think it's an overrated thing and women themselves who breastfeed make a big deal out of it. We get it, you're a woman, and you breastfeed, now sit down because billions of other women have done the same. I personally would not enjoy being ogled by people while I breastfeed, for the same reason as why I don't flash my boobs in public now either. Therefore, I'll definitely try my best to cover up and be considerate towards others too. I believe it's just called being considerate towards other people in the environment you are in. I firmly believe some breastfeeding women secretly want to be looked at...
Honestly it really shouldn't be. It's natural if we weren't supposed to breast feed then we wouldn't gave breast milk.
Humans are the only creatures that try to hide and go against nature. All mamals do it and we see nothing sexual about it when they do it so what's the difference now?
All I can say is of you don't support it cover your eyes.
Yes, exactly! Thank you!!
Even if you weren't breastfeeding there's nothing wrong with boobs. Just like showing your wrists or your ankles used to be frowned upon; boobs are frowned upon now. Breasts have no sexual function. They are there soley to feed infants until their digestive system can handle real food. The reason anyone has a nasty reaction to boobs in public is because boobs have been sexualised by society.
For a similar example, if I were to make my middle finger erect and show it off to everyone who disagrees with this opinion, most everyone would get very offended. Why? Because society had assigned a nasty meaning to the middle finger. The middle finger, in reality, actually means nothing. It's just another finger.
It's the same with breasts and the place in sexuality we've assigned them.
BS+Repition and Time=Accepted Social Norm
*repitition
You should understand better what sexualising means. Society isn't at blame here dude.
@mikemx55 definition: "make sexual; attribute sex or a sex role to."
Nope, I understand what the word means and yes that's what has happened with breasts.
They're sexualised because they differ between genders. That's why.
@mikemx55 No... They're sexualised because society has assigned a sexual role to them. Go somewhere cut off from society. The women don't cover their breasts. Go to society, and they're covered. Why? Because World society has sexualised breasts. I really don't know how to make this any clearer for ya...
So, society makes them sexual, but you don't. Is that right? Cause you're better than society.
Poor you. You're missing out.
i have no problem with it, it is considered very sexual by some, but to me, it's just a natural thing, that needs to be allowed anywhere without scrutiny, like Drinking a cup of tea in a public place, i wouldn't expect to be yelled at for picking up my cup and taking a swig of a good old cuppa, so why should a baby (no offense to any women here, i know i essentially compared you to a cup, and i'm sincerely sorry about that, but the point needs to be made)
lol exactly!!! Thank you very much!!
Boobs are basically cups so your point is valid lol!
Don't get it either because it shouldn't be. Society and more important the media has sexualized them so much and want them to stay that way for advertising etc. If boobs are all of the sudden "normal" and not a big deal they can't objectify women anymore, OMG heaven forbid!!
I agree with you all the way!!! Thank you!!!
Societal norm that breasts being exposed is considered naked in public. That's the only reason. If girls being topless was legal there would be no stigma.
But it doesn't really matter. If there were no stigma we'd still find another way to complain. Like "why do guys stare. Control yourself", "why isn't it ok for minors to be topless?", "judgement of girls with saggy tits. What's wrong with people?", "how being topless harms young women's self esteem".
what you said literally made no sense, if a guys chest is bare, he is half naked, if a girls chest is bare she's half naked, stop trying to make this a sexist thing!
plus who the fuck cares about girls going topless? I don't want to see guys topless either, learn how to be discreet about things.
@lacorine197 sorry that you couldn't grasp the subject.
@lacorine197 it did make sense, you're just too ignorant to understand it. Please leave this kind man alone as he's done nothing to you.
Am I just too ignorant to understand? You're just too ignorant to understand anything, or grasp any statement that doesn't have any agreements or synonymical efforts to what you are saying. in other words "OH YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE, WAHH WAHH WAHH" , please if you're going to make an adult conversation, instead of using insults, use rightful points to make meaningful conclusions, otherwise, block me and don't try to reply before blocking me, that's what an ADULT WOULD DO.
@lacorine197 Considering the purpose was to communicate with the asker and she fully understood what the message was... yes. Yes, you simply did not grasp the subject. And the fact you immediately jumped to a concern about being blocked I can safely assume that must happen to you a lot lol. Which I gotta say. Wouldn't be surprising.
There ain't anything wrong with feeding ones kid.
But why must there be something wrong with not wanting to see it?
What, because it's natural? Like so many other natural things that people don't want to see?
Fluids coming out of a person can make some people queasy, regardless of the purpose. The gunk in your eyes when ya wake up, I find kinda gross. Snot, doesn't bother me in the least. Breastfeeding, makes me cringe a bit.
Urine, not bothered at all. I don't want it on me, but it's a meh thing to me.
It's down to each person what bugs them. People are complicated that way.
And I'm workin on it.
So again, feed your kid, you should. Just have some consideration for those who aren't so comfortable with it. That ain't so much to ask, is it?
I'm sure this will not be a popular opinion (lol), but i would try to avoid being somewhere where overweight women were breastfeeding openly, as I would just rather not see that if I have an alternative, say to eat in a different area of a restaurant.
try to put it in the perspective of old men in speedos, it's not the end of the world but you'd rather not see that
If she is fine, then of course no men would mind.
Again, reality, this is not filtered for political correctness but actual true feelings, I am confident many men agree but would not enjoy the unpopularity of this opinion.
What exactly does ones weight have to do with feeding a baby out of curiosity?🤔
@Rocket_Queen the same thing being 70years old has to do with wearing a speedo, vs, say, Matthew mcConahey (sp) wearing a speedo
... that is a ridiculous comparison as a mother feeding her child has absolutely zero to do with parading around in an outfit almost naked. Unless of course she is one of those breastfeeding moms who does it for show in the most inconvenient places while snapping breastfeeding power mom selfies. Only then would your comparison be useful.
Mainly for some fools can't get past sexualising Breasts
I agree
If you see a breast as a feeding machine, then I gotta say that you're missing out man.
I'm sure you don't though
Breasts are there to feel the baby... and there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public... If I had a baby tho... I'd try to sit someplace with where I wouldn't be seen too much... not because I think people would think less of me.. it's because some sick people do sexualize this and I won't be comfortable with that..
Perfectly understandable!!!
feed* silly typo lol..
lol I knew what you meant :)
Respect for you. I also dont get the fuss about it. but i do want to point out some few things:
when in public children like 10-13 years, who are virgin and new to their sexual experiences are prone to see this as sexual act which is wrong. Moreover some adults do that too, maybe because of their libidos.
But women shouldn't should not give damn about them. As you have written , breasts sole purpose is to provide nutrition to the baby and you're doing just that.
That is very true and I agree comlpletely with you. Thank you for the support!
☺☺ xxoo
i think you are definitely right about young teens and some adults seeing it as something sexual. i think in those cases it's a great time, especially for kids, for a learning moment.
@madhatters4 I agree!
