Fun Time Breastfeeding Pic on Time Magazine Stirs Debate

But I guess I am just failing to see how that's the other person's problem/responsibility.

It's not. Everyone of us has said that we would never expect a mother to try to convenience us.

[g r ee n ey e s]

I can only see one person responsible and that would be me, when I pop out a mini I will probably hide myself from public eyes.

this and same for me as greens said.

[bowieluva]

I guess it's impossible for me to get because I really don't give much of a fuck if someone gets a glance at my boob or whatever and I'm super jaded to other people unless they're like, trying to offend (IE dudes jerking off through holes in fences, NEW YORK)

I guess that's what I don't get- how it possibly inconveniences you. At all.

[sogs]

So post your boobies for me :)

This would be inconvenient for me as I am currently in full view of passersby at an airport and do not have a baby to attach to them. A Mormon airport, no less.

[bowieluva]

I'm not an exhibitionist but that doesn't mean I'm uncomfortable or ashamed of my body. If a boob falls out, I won't die.

at work today, people were talking about when breast feeding should be cut off and they were so freaking passionate about it being cut off at 1 year. "thats when it SHOULD be cut off,... any more than that and that kid is gonna have issues!!" and i was the only voice of reason. Like what the hell do i care when a mom chooses to stop breastfeeding. I dont even understand why its a big deal.
i just dont give a shit about outher people's business that doesnt directly effect me.

It effects you when you yell 'snack time' to your five-year-old and her friend and her friend shimmies up your leg and puts your tit in their mouth.

Wrong use of the word....? That's what everyone else seems to be using so I was using it in response to Bowie's post.

this. maybe its because i'm in the neenerverse half the time, i don't know. but i'm not shy about my boobs. i mean, i've had to have so many EKGs and cardiac monitors because of my potassium issue, that i've had about a billion people lift up my shirt and stick electrodes to my titties that i'm just totally *meh* about it. like, the tech will try to be all delicate and say *ok, now i'm going to have to lift up your shirt and lift up your bra...* and i'll interrupt them and pull up my shirt and say, *have at 'em* BOOBS.

[neenerneener]

THIS WOMAN GREW A NIPPLE ON HER FOOT. ON HER FOOT. is anyone offended?

this. maybe its because i'm in the neenerverse half the time, i don't know. but i'm not shy about my boobs. i mean, i've had to have so many EKGs and cardiac monitors because of my potassium issue, that i've had about a billion people lift up my shirt and stick electrodes to my titties that i'm just totally *meh* about it. like, the tech will try to be all delicate and say *ok, now i'm going to have to lift up your shirt and lift up your bra...* and i'll interrupt them and pull up my shirt and say, *have at 'em* BOOBS.

I'm like that at the doctor too.

"You didn't have to disrobe you know."

"Oh, it's no problem"

"But aren't you here for a blood draw?"

"Correct. Well, blood draw results, actually."

[McMama]

I am, but only slightly. She couldn't have taken 15 seconds to pluck around the perimeter before she took a picture?

if you've had enough medical stuff done, you get to the point where you just don't give a fuck. the only time i cringe is when i have a gyno appointment, and thats because theres a speculum involved. *shudders*

omg, right?! i can understand that she was quite possibly in shock, finding out that the growth was indeed a nipple, but come on. nipple hair is unattractive on a woman, even if its on the bottom of your foot.

Wow. When I run stress ECG's I say "now pop your top off" or something to that effect. No delicacy involved. Granted they're medics and firefighters, so they're used to that. Nah, even when we do the executives, I don't baby them. We have an agenda!

[White trash bitchy blonde]

Ok well I am def be upset if I see a woman nursing her baby with that foot titty. I don't give no fucks about the age. That's just ewww.

[Creature Feature]

Does it tickle when she walks? Feeding with that would be awesome because it looks like you are kicking babies in the face

[Artemis]

What I 'just don't get' is why so many of you are bothered that we're bothered by seeing a baby on a tit. None of us has stated any desire to discourage public displays of BF'ing moms or proposition any laws/prohibitions. Who cares. Why does it matter? Everyone has a thing. I 'just don't get' why most of you guys are repelled by flip-flops. Unless you petition to outlaw them, I give no fucks. I'm not hellbent on getting you to not be disgusted by them.

OMG!!! THEY ARE JUST TOES!!! OMG. CHANGE YOUR MINDS OR WE'LL ALL DIE. EVERYONE. has. toes...

[okac]

Well I do think that it was stated a few times that some people think breast-feeders should cover their babies...
I think if it was more like "yeah I'm uncomfortable with it but that is my issue more power to them" it would have been different.

It appears to have changed into that though.

[Artemis]

Gotcha. I don't think they should have to cover either.
