Abusive title? Probably. I'm stressed, tired, and my epiphenomenalism exegesis isn't going in the right direction.
About half of Americans (according to this article) and some Australians that I know, are adverse to women breastfeeding their babies in public because a breast is a sexual thing, and the general public shouldn't be exposed to sexual things they don't want to see.
Better take down all those city billboards screaming, "Want longer lasting sex?" not to mention the countless gigantesque half dressed women selling everything from politics to palm pilots to cars to actual sex.
We're happy to accept pictures of half naked women as long as it makes someone money, but if you want to feed your baby we'd prefer you went to the toilet, m'kay?
My tired brain cannot find the words for these uptight people. I can only recommend rectal surgery to remove whatever cleaning implement they rammed up their darker orifices... and tell this short story.
Once upon a time, I prepared to feed my new and hungry daughter at a family gathering. My brother-in-law became a little flustered and betrayed his surprise that I hadn't removed myself from the group by saying, "When a women starts breast-feeding in front of you, you just don't know where to look!" My gorgeous, darling, feminist husband replied, "Look them in the eye, mate, in the eye."
Look at the picture above. Breastfeeding? Or cuddling? You'd have to be up real close to tell the difference. Close enough to know me well enough not to care.
