Breastfeeding is Offensive

[LilGirlLost]

 I'm thankful for not having boobs thrown in my face all the time by offensive and indecent breastfeeding mothers like the ones below:

Wait...Well, this is a bad example. Let's try again.


Hmm...Just a minute. I'm sure I can find better ones than these...

Eh, still not offensive enough. I'll check one more time.

That is better. LOOK AT THAT! I see about a half inch of boob. DISGUSTING.

UGH. Look at that indecency! She must be from some third world country to be exposed like that!

Now that's just...There are no words to descripe how inappropriate that is. Something needs to be done!


But why stop at breasfeeding women? There are boobs everywhere. Beware! If you thought the above photos were offensive, you WILL DEFINITELY be offended by the photos below.

Not this one, though. This one was in plain view on news stands and in mail boxes in 19 countries world wide!

Not this one, either. This one actually won an award!

Oh, and I guess this one is fine too. Everyone knows you can't sell jeans without someone being topless.

Or beer, for that matter.

Or sunglasses.

Or movie tickets.

Or CDs...

You know what? Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that someone mixed up some photos here. The first batch are offensive, but the second batch are just fine and dandy???

People who live in glass bras:


Shouldn't throw stones:


If you think women have the right to breastfeed their children no matter where they are, please repost this...comment vote it popular whatever . Support breastfed babies and their right to eat in public!

it kills me that breasts have been reduced to sexual objects instead of the items of nourishment that they are.

I agree you should be able to breastfeed your baby anywhere.  Be decent about it though.  I was in church one sunday in the cry room.  And I looked over and there was this lady breastfeeding her child with nothing over her.  It was out in plain view.  Plus the cry room is glass.  The sad part is there was a bathroom two feet away.

A BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why shoudl a child be forced to eat where people poop and pee but you don't have to? Sorry but the jerk who is chewing with his mouth open and slobbering food everywhere disgusts me, but if I asked him to move to the bathroom, I would be obliterated by the PC police. So why should something natural and clean and lovely and bonding have to take place there?

I am sorry, but you are an ignorant woman, and I rarely outright say things like that. you truly have the wrong view of BF'ing--and no, I only bf for three weeks(medical reasons), so I am not one of those supposedly pyscho hippie moms who do it for years upon years.

Good Lord,Madismom!!! You are part of the reason bf is getting such a bad rap!!! If it offends you,WHY WERE YOU WATCHING/LOOKING?! She was doing NOTHING that those breasts were NOT intended for,whereas...the pics shown above for advertising are NOT what they were intended for.

Ok,so..some women DO let the whole 'kabob' hang out....which the majority of bfing mamas don't do. Her child isn't looking at it as if it were a sex object,but for some reason...you are? Dark ages here we come,and here is your first resident..Madismom!

I voted popular,due to the fact I was also told to 'go elsewhere' to feed my child.And I refused,stating the law allows me to do so,so I will. I am a taxpayer,I don't do drugs/drink,and I should have as much right to feed my child how/when/where I choose since that teen/woman/MOTHER over on the next bench is baring her boobs for the world to oggle.And mine was only uncovered enough for my daughter to latch on.The rest of my 'boobage' was covered by my shirt/blanket.

VOTED POPULAR!!!

This is a great posting!  So true, how breasts can be shown and exposed all over but you have a mother doing the most natural thing for her baby and its 'indecent'...Something truly wrong with our society.  Now if she were running around with it hanging out or purposely sitting there with it unbared, then that is different but feeding her baby no one should be criticized for that!

I breastfed all 3 of my kids and did not hesitate to do it in public if they were hungry.  However I had at least 1 offended party with each child.  The best was at Olive Garden, I was sitting at our table feeding Cody when a man comes to our table and tells me I should go home or to the restroom to feed "that kid".  I looked at my DH then at the man and very calmly told him I would feed my son in the restroom AFTER he took his food in there to eat so nobody would be offended looking at him.  Needless to say he got the manager and the manager told him that he was proud to serve a woman that cared so much for her child and if he did not like it he was welcome to dine elsewhere.  Our meal that night ended up being free as well as our following meal there for having to deal with someone as illmannered as that man was.  Come to find out the manager and his wife had a baby at home that she was breastfeeding.
