Breastfeeding Moms Stage 'Nurse-In' Protest at Target Stores Worldwide
FOX NEWS ^ | 12.28.11

Posted on 12/29/2011 3:49:36 AM PST by Recovering_Democrat

Breastfeeding mothers staged a "nurse-in" Wednesday at Target stores nationwide to show solidarity with a Texas woman who said she was ridiculed for breastfeeding her baby at a Houston store.

Michelle Hickman organized a Facebook campaign to call for the "nurse-in," which took place in several US cities including Houston, Knoxville, Tenn., and Decatur, Ill.

About 50 nursing mothers showed up to protest at the Webster, Texas, Target store where Hickman said she was harassed last month, MyFOXhouston reported.

Never mind that Target had apologized. The larger issue is the private property rights of the company. Oh, and the childish behaviour of these supposedly adult women.

Been there, done that. Captain Obvious sez: go into the fitting room or give the kid a bottle. So many women are so full of themselves.

The supposed right to do what you want where you want. I've gotten into some arguments here on FR concerning my assertion that property rights are supreme, with the invited parties alternative being to comply or leave (yes, including speech, 2A, etc.). Nor do I look upon businesses as pseudo common property.

I have never personally witnessed a woman getting harassed merely for breast feeding, but I have seen many nursing mothers who can't seem to feed a baby without also showing their nipples to the world.

‘________without also showing their nipples to the world.’

Yup - have seen it.

And sometimes you don’t even quite know there’s nursing going on.
There are those nursing moms who are discreet and care how they behave/nurse in public.

And there are those who are not and do not.

It’s possible some nursing women have never given a thought as to how to behave while nursing in public - to consider those around them.
Plain clumsy.
And there’s so many cozy baby blankets that can be utilized!

There’s a lot of female shoppers without babies that have the same problem.

Property rights come first, not self-centered breastfeeders.

However, today’s women are far more comfortable showing their bare breasts in public.

I foresee a time in the not-so-distant future where women will be allowed to be topless in the same places as men.

Feminism will be triumphant....because men are not allowed to dissent.

"I foresee a time in the not-so-distant future where women will be allowed to be topless in the same places as men"

Feminism very well was an invention of man, to get women into bed more easily, to ogle without being arrested, and women fell into the trap.

Traditional marriage was destroyed in the quest for "Women's Rights", and men won the battle without much effort. "Free Love" degraded women to being nothing more than sex objects, which is what they supposedly were trying to discourage.

Why buy the cow, when the milk is free?

Exactly correct.

And now the women wonder why no man wants to marry them once they hit 35 or so. Well D'uh, if we can get the bodies of 20 somethings (and we normally can, after all they are "liberated women who can have sex if they want to") who needs to settle for someone older and used up.

Women were well on their way to having the best of both worlds before feminism reared it's ugly head. Now the feminists have destroyed womanhood.

If women walking around topless is the logical conclusion of feminism, what makes you think this isn’t the reason why men have refrained from dissenting?

OR: Go HOME; OR get a pump and make a bottle. Is that so hard to figure out? If you have such a busy lifestyle that you can’t work around your baby’s schedule, use formula.

The larger issue is the modesty of women-—none wanted by Marxists—who pretend there is no difference between the nature of women and the nature of man—they both are the same-—so exposing breasts in public for women is the same as men exposing their breasts. No difference.

It is an attempt for egalitarianism which wants to destroy all differences between the sexes-—to create the “Brave New World”. Redesign human beings so men will have no reaction to a women’s body—or at least a hatred for it—they want homosexuals—children with no biological parents. They want no nurturing mothers—they want selfish mothers who give their kids up to the state—women who hate males-—they want destruction of Natural Law so that Marxists can reshape human desire—includes using children for sex. It gives no morality to sex or sexual issues-—removes all desire from the male and redirects it to whatever—Bareback Mountain—whatever—they would love a people like the Afghanis—who use boys for recreation and females for creating more little boys. Women are hated and disfigured.

Utopia for Marxists is more like the Ancient Greeks or the Samurai. Redirect the desire of men which can be done in early childhood if the state has control over children. Worldview can be shaped-—exactly what Lenin did—take children away from the mothers at 9 mos of age. Created unattached, disloyal, perfect little marxists who had no moral compass. They could kill at command and brutalize even their own relatives.

Marxist females are evil and use children for their own selfish ends. It is evil.
They have no respect for men. None. And they have no respect for their own bodies—and they use their children. They are disgusting-—hide under the guise of “breastfeeding is natural”. So is sex. Modesty and respect for their natures is needed in a world where men and women will grow to respect one another. Can’t have Civil society without respect. Marxists know that—they are trying to create chaos and division and hate.

Breastfeeding is easy to do discretely. No one has any problem with that. I did it—it doesn’t disgust anyone and keeps breastfeeding what it is designed to be-—an intimate interaction and bonding between child and mother. These Marxists women are trying to make it into a circus show to shock and destroy respect for the woman’s body-—exactly what the Vagina Monologues is designed to do—another Marxist production to destroy respect between the sexes and promote homosexuality.

Women at 35 are not used up. Not nearly.

They are just getting broke in.

Who wants a young girl with tattoos, punctures through their tongue, and other places who curses like a sailor, and more than likely is bi-sexual.

I will stick with the older “ladies”, who still look and act like ladies. You might not get as much ,but when you do it’s worth it.

I take it that you agree with Benjamin Franklin’s advice:

I just watched the news segment.

If it was accurate - the women were covered with blankets or wearing maternity shirts that drape over the breasts.

If boobs are covered up - I don’t see what the problem is.

I was in southern France about ten years ago. We went down the Mediterranean coast for an afternoon. There were a lot of women in topless bathing suits, but for the most part, those women who should not have been going topless were going topless and those whose boobs were worth watching kept their tops on. It was frustrating.

Please note that I agree with you. But many older women are going single because the younger girls are loose and many men who were once restrained by social mores have been liberated by feminisim. If the girls can have sex with no strings attached then these cads can chase the younger girls and get away with it.

Feminisism destroyed femininity

Who wants a young girl with tattoos, punctures through their tongue, and other places who curses like a sailor, and more than likely is bi-sexual.

I've always seen the "pierced and tattooed" set as the results of some unfortunate industrial accident.

(And noone is bi-sexual. We are all heterosexual. Some folks are just trapped in (or choose to remain trapped in) perversion)

I will stick with the older “ladies”, who still look and act like ladies. You might not get as much ,but when you do it’s worth it.

Agreed entirely. I am looking for a good woman, not just a slut.
