But if you're a sexual pervert Boy Scout leader or teacher, male or female, and preying on children, then you have rights.
She is very naive if she thinks that she is going to prevail. She better apply for Swedish citizenship fast and vote with her feet, or be prepared to have her child confiscated and given to some homosexual or lesbian couple. After all, they usually don't have lactating breasts.
Now when her kid goes to a public school and plugs into the school library's ask-alice-anything-about-sex-site and gets images of women having sex with monkeys and horses, she doesn't have to worry because American academia says that it will have no ill effects on his sexual development.
PC madness?
This brings up the argument of culture. While it may be OK to breastfeed longer in other countries, subjecting a child to that cultural pressure/stigma is unfair.
I wouldn't think that a topless native girl from tribal Africa was immodest because it is their culture to dress that way, but the same woman parading down main street would come off to me here as immodest. There is some value to "When in Rome do as the Romans do." At the same time I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing the African girl's native dress, as a visitor to that area. One tries - or should try-- to err on the side of caution or modesty when it comes to cultural issues. When I breastfed my children my husband's family was a little embarrassed about it, so I picked up on that, and didn't force them to tolerate me sitting in the middle of their living room. I went into a private area, respectful of their discomfort. Now this woman, I know, probably nurses this child privately, however the story is out, she has to understand how the conflict about it is going to get to her son.
