I wish people on both sides of this stupidity would take two pieces of advice:

• People uncomfortable with public breastfeeding: Even though it makes you uncomfortable, suck it up and just get through it. That breastfeeding woman is passing through your life and will soon be out of it. If it makes you uncomfortable, just find a way to deal with it until she is done, then go on with your life.

• Breastfeeding mothers: Understand that some people might be uncomfortable because even though it is a normal biological function, there are people in our culture who do view breasts as sexual in nature and have trouble viewing them as instruments of that biological function. Instead of being militant, try to be considerate of that unusual view.

I know both pieces of advice will be ignored on both sides of this.

What’s so special about showing off boobs just because you’re breast feeding? For centuries, women were desecrate and covered up or left the room. This isn’t about breast feeding, its about plopping yourself out in public in hopes of running to FB to throw a tantrum.

I demand equal RIGHTS to show off my boobs in public even without a kid attached. For that matter, I demand my RIGHTS to go pantless and sit my poopy butt down anywhere I wish from a dentist’s chair to a chair in your child’s classroom. Urinating on and mensturating on public chairs is a “body function” so don’t anyone dare tell me no or I’ll throw a hissy and sue them.
