I have no problem with what she did or Target defending her. For once Target did something right. Breasts are meant for babies, and breastfeeding is better for them anyway.

Full of anger and hate. Sounds like another Democrat for Hillary.

The mothers should attempt discretion, and the potentially offended (especially) should avert their eyes.

Then everyone goes about their day quite nicely, and the world continues in the grace of G-d.

Why is anybody at Target in the 1st place? That old guy probably just finished peeping over the girls room claiming to be a woman. We’re on strike from Target. Leave.

Sometimes it seems the world around me is coming unhinged. This is a good time to grow ones faith.

For husbands too.

It’s in the Bible.

I saw this on a Facebook post. The guy was an ahole but they should have areas where women can breast feed in private. Maybe in the bathrooms.

I too have no problem whatsoever with a woman breastfeeding a baby in public, but any woman can do it discreetly. I always joke about the fact that I have Catholic friends with very large families who breastfeed their kids right in front of me and I barely notice because they use a small blanket over the shoulder. It’s not hard.

PR stunt designed to redeem Target in the eyes of the public. About as believable as Hillary’s “Iron my shirt” guys.

Do you want to eat your meals in public restroom?

A few years ago, I sat beside a good looking woman in an airport who was breast feeding her baby. I asked her if I could watch as there is nothing more precious than a new born suckling their mother...she treated me as if I was a pervert and quickly moved away. Did I do something wrong?

That pig should cover up. IT’s the law not to walk around topless...a reason why we wear bra’s/shirts. Just because you have a kid sucking on it, doesn’t gives you the right to display your nakedness to kids, parents, mothers, families, men, toddlers, etc. It’s inconsiderate and embarrassing to people. Exhibitionist PIGS. Cover up ...it’s the law.

Both my daughters and my wife did so in public very descretly, never an issue. No one ever went off on them either.

Not in the bathroom. But having a private area would be a nice gesture, families with kids are the biggest part of their customer base.

My first thought as well.

Yes, if that was a serious post.
