And far and away, the huge majority of women who publically breastfeed do so as you suggest, with a high degree of discretion.
It’s the painting of the vast middle with the tiny extreme that bothers me.
I daresay one sees more women showing serious cleavage in church than one sees publically breastfeeding in a month of sundays at Target. And yes, I’m sure not your church. But I think you know what I mean.
It’s amazing to me. Rarely (if ever) will the sight of cavernous cleavage start threads, but put a baby on that boob and off we go. And fashions being what they are, you see more boob with the clothes on than with the baby nursing.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of discretion, but if a woman is discreetly, yet publically, breastfeeding, it likely won’t even register.
Exactly, but that isn't what the militants are doing. It's not about breast-feeding; it's about getting some attention.
