Breastfeeding while graduating

I had this argument with some mothers and it appears that the consensus is that women should be able to whip out a tit whenever they want to feed their child, because it's "natural."

So is taking a piss but I get arrested if I just whip my dick out anywhere I want to relieve myself.

What say you?

I'm not a fan of anti-nudity laws but if they must exist they need to be even across the board. If the world doesn't want to see me lift my sack to get a nice deep scratch going then we also need to stop women from whipping out titties to shut their babies up. It's only fair.

If your kid is hungry feed it but don't get in a snit if you catch some stares.

That would have been way more awesome if she was breastfeeding the kid while walking across the stage to get her diploma.  I'd expect something like this at a trade school graduation ceremony.

Cal State Long Beach. Need we say more?

[Broad Street]

It's a baby eating. Grow the f*ck up.

I am grown. I have a 2 month old that's breastfeeding. Its called planning ahead or covering up with a shawl or receiving blanket if you have to do it. If it's too hot, pump before hand or bring a bottle with formula in it. 1 time of using formula isn't going to harm anything.

Did it have to be Long Beach State???

 

Boo!

[Blarg]

Where else? Maybe a Florida State school but it wouldn't be newsworthy with all of the Florida man articles.

Feed away, but please use some discretion. Some women seem to be getting pretty militant about breast feeding any time any place.

Got Milk?

My kids are breastfed, and won't have any part of being covered while eating - they pull the cover right off. If we try to force that issue, the kids scream, which causes a bigger uproar, so no thanks.

Also, California law protects the mothers.

California Civil Code § 43-53.

1997 Section 43.3 of the Civil Code

43.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a mother may breastfeed her child in any location, public or private, except the private home or residence of another, where the mother and the child are otherwise authorized to be present.

How hard is it to go to a restroom and do this?

Do you often eat in the bathroom?

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

No but I also don't shit my pants and require an adult to feed me. There is no logical reason women should insist on doing this in public. Find a restroom or a private area and feed your child.

i agree. not everyone wants or needs to watch. and let's face it, if there's a boob out in public, guys are gonna look. just some discretion and a little more privacy.

 

i was at a little restaurant in college where table space was limited. i was alone at a big table when a couple asked if they could join me. sure, why not. all of a sudden, mom whips out this giant boob and little timmy starts nursing. no warning, no discretion, nothing. it was uncomfortable to say the least.

Congrats, you have more body control than a 1 year old. Should a senior or invalid eat in a bathroom too? Get over yourself and see some free boobs

Did you say something to them, or remain passive aggressive?

Do seniors and invalids require someone to whip out a boob to feed them? In my experience, the women I see doing this are the ones that have truly given up on looking attractive to anyone. They gain 40lbs and chop all their hair off. If that's the case then I'd rather not see their tits.

Touché on a good deal of them. I just don't care that much, because it doesn't affect me negatively. Same reason I don't care if someone expresses their religion in front of me.

[HaloMagic]

Would it negatively affect you if I was sitting in the corner of the bookstore with an iPad beating my meat to midget porn? Is that okay? Since it doesn't negatively affect you at all.

Good on you, I can ignore the same way that I ignore bad boobs. Also, beating off in public is illegal, breast feeding is not.

[m0nkey]

It's not illegal, it's frowned upon

I wasn't confident enough to say anything then. I would say something today.

What would you have done when you were 22?
