I Don't Want To See Your Breasts...Thank You, Pease...

I was on the internet earlier this morning, as I normally am, checking our insurance companies websites for different stuff and reading the news real quick, when I came across this article:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061117/ap_on_re_us/breast_feeding_passenger

So, go ahead and read it, and then come back to me.

 

 

So, after I got done reading it, one thought came into my mind:

Why didn't you cover it up?

I mean, most everyone gets it that breast milk is best.  That's freaking fantastic.  However, not everyone has to experience the joys along with you.

Some people don't like to see bare breasts in public.  Hell, I don't want to see bare breasts on TV or in real life.  So, why should I be forced to look at it when it's being done in public to feed a child?  It's not like the woman was saying, "You can't do that here, period!"  She offered the lady a blanket and asked to cover up.  It's not that huge of an issue.  Not everyone wants to see your titties.  And, really, most people that *DO* breastfeed, when they know they're going out in public, either pump beforehand or find a private place (like a washroom or something) to do it at.  And, apparently, since you're on an airplane, you had some notice that you were going out of the house.  So, it's official, you're retarded.  Legally.  Put a stamp on your head and send you to crazy camp.

I also found the picture on the left hand side of the "nurse-in" funny with that lady's sign "Don't be a pervert!  Nursing is legal and necessary."  Well, there are a couple of things wrong with your sign, lady.

1)  Nursing is not necessary.  Back in the days before technology and what not, yes it was.  But, I can tell you personally that, no, it's not necessary.  I wasn't breast fed because I wouldn't take to my momma's nipple.  In fact, if there wouldn't have been such a thing as a baby bottle, I would have died.  My mom had to slit open the nipple of the baby bottle and, literally, pour it down my throat and force me to eat.  Strangely, I don't have that type of problem now...

2)  It is legal and it should be!  It's a natural thing.  However, sex is very natural along with body hair on women.  And, being a civilized society, we have to have a balance between what is natural and what is civilized.  And, I don't see you sucking off the baby's daddy (if you know who it is) while letting your armpit/leg/nipple hair grow out while you're protesting.  What your saying makes no logical sense.   If you wanna breast feed, you should do you best to cover yourself up because, again, I don't wanna see boobies.

3)  And this is the biggest one which is hysterical.  "Don't Be a Pervert."  And, my only comment on this is this:  "If you don't want us to look at it, then don't do it!"  It's like, if I whip my penis out for all the world to see (FYI, $5 sent to me and I'll send ya' a couple pics...I'm not bashful...) and then call everyone that looks at it a pervert...well, then I'm pretty fucking stupid, aren't I?

Like I said before, if you're going out on the town and bringing the wee one along, pump prior or throw a blanket over yourself.  Because, strangely, not everyone wants to see your hairy nipples.

But, seriously, $5 and the pictures are yours....

1 - I tend to agree. Although, in this situation, if there wasn't anyone who could see (I don't know, they sort of made it sounds like there was no one who could see, but then sort of acted like the attendant must have thought SOMEONE could see) it shouldn't have been an issue, because it WOULD have been a private place.

They make privacy sheets and stuff for nursing mothers. Come on, it's not that big a deal to use one.

I agree with that. I do. I also think that people SHOULD be allowed to bf in public, because...well, nobody wants to eat in a restroom or whatever, but there should be a reasonable compromise, like the privacy sheets.

I mean, the argument against the sheets is "who wants to put a blanket over their baby's head" but...people do that all the time over carseats and don't bat an eye. Come on.

Oh. And...

You'd totally see pics of your winky for moer like 25 cents. :)

2 - You know, I was thinking the same thing about if people could see it or not. But, I then reasoned the same thing along with you. If the flight attendant noticed, then surely someone else will too. So, cover it up, biootch!

Even though, I do have to edit my comment. She sure did have plenty of notice to pump prior to going on the plane. But, it then struck me that, with the newest restrictions, they may not allow that liquid on the plane. Because, as we all know, breast milk is the new plastic explosive...

And, whatever, people would pay *A LOT* more than $5 to see my winky! I mean, in all of the years that I've been showing it to people, I've received literally 10's of dollars.

Now, don't you feel foolish? hehe (Comment this)

3 - According to the article she said there was nothing showing, she was near the window and had her fella between her and the rest of the plane. So I'm with the breast feeding woman, it is highly unlikely anything would have been seen except the back of the baby's head. I am totally for bf in public, done discreetly of course. I mean please look at what people wear today and tell me you don't see more arse, boob and pubic hair through the current fashion trend. If you don''t like it don't look. The breast has been sexualised but it's basic purpose is to feed offspring. It's all perception. (Comment this)

4 - Well, even while there is nothing being shown at the time, I think that there may have been something peaking out if the stewardess said something. And, irregardless, I think that, even though you think that "people can't see you," you should still cover it up if you're in a public setting. I mean, that may differ if you're around close family and what not and they don't object. But, if you're around strangers, leave it in your shirt or use a towel/blanket/invisibility cloak. (Comment this)
