Fun Time Breastfeeding Pic on Time Magazine Stirs Debate

[sogs]

If I am uncomfortable with something I look away.

Just as feeding isn't a big deal neither is being uncomfortable as long as you aren't being a dick about it.

I'm uncomfortable with hugs. I don't expect them banned in public. Just no for me.

[Ron_NYC]

Um, who said they were staring? I try my hardest to look away as fast as possible.

Oh my God, I'd dive under something!

[animosity]

i'm really sorry you have to watch your mil pee her pants, wtbb. i wouldn't go back. no way. people peeing themselves is WAY worse than public breast feeding; i think everyone here can agree on that one.

[animosity]

i was looking through a people magazine the other day and there was an article about all the celebs who have peed themselves in public. there were pee spot pictures. it was the most disturbing article i ever saw.

I wanna see!

She wasnt like soaking herself, it's just when she would cough, she would leak a little. One of the oh so great things that a lot of mom's get to learn to live with after having children.

[animosity]

are you lying?

[White trash bitchy blonde]

I wanna see!

You weirdo! BF'ing is icky but urine is awesome? LULZ

[animosity]

mil ≠ child. she should know better.

Yea, I wanna know who wet themselves. That's hysterical.

I used to laugh at my grandma for pissing herself, now every time I cough I have to pull an extreme kegel move .

[animosity]

can't find the article. sorry. fergie peed onstage. so did marie osmond. she laughed and cleaned it up in front of the audience. which is awesome. and paris hilton peed all over the backseat of a cab. i think there was another one, but i forgot.

i don't think it's a laughable offence... it's sad and it sucks. but that's why they make panty liners. it keeps people clean and dry and from smelling like pee. seems like a no brainer.

[McMama]

Oh, honey. A panty liner wouldn't do shit for what I was talking about. Bronchitis pretty much warrants Depends.

Exactly. Who wants to stare at that?

[neenerneener]

You're saying I'm being a bitch, yet you haven't read the entire thread where this has been explained a multitude of times Come on now.

Go back and read the thread and you'll see why I responded the way I did.

you can't expect every single person to read all 26 pages of this shit. get real. but i did go back and read, and no, it wasn't clear at all, at least not to me. you never explained exactly what it was about it that made you uncomfortable.

[neenerneener]

Because seeing bare nipple in public is shocking at first, even if there's a kid in the vicinity. If the baby is attached, it's less likely you'll see it so I'm more uncomfortable when they pull away and the breast is fully exposed.

this is where i don't understand. why is it so shocking if its a female nipple, but not a male nipple? no one bats an eye if a dude is walking around topless. i'm not being obtuse, i am literally trying to understand the difference. is it because you can't desexualize the female nipple?

Yeah, this is my issue, too. Especially when someone said something like how it's strictly breast feeding that weirds them out, not like, flashing boobies at Marti Gras. Really? So as long as a woman is exposing herself publicly in a sexual manner, it's comfortable? I dunno.

[g r ee n ey e s]

Much like I don't want to see the random peen, a topless beefy dude (who is more than likely a douche since he is publicly shirtless), I don't care to see public boobage. It's going to happen, I just don't care for it.

yeah, that makes me give them the side-eye. flashing your titties for beads = awesome, breastfeeding your child = gross? i don't get it.

lies. you want to lick their sweaty man-nipples.

[sogs]

I get it because, going to Mardi Gras is like going to a strip club. It is expected. I am ok with it because of the atmosphere.

If I stare its because I am thinking dirty thoughts.

[bowieluva]

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