No, I don't have a reading comprehension problem. I'm a professional writer. Do you have a root-cause-analysis problem?
The legislation was passed why? Because screaming-faced women demanded it. Because their lives are so "horribly oppressed" not being able to whip out whenever they want.
Women who just want to 'whip it out' don't have to go through the whole process of pregnancy, childbirth and diaper changing just for the thrill of showing boob. By mischaracterizing the motivation, you miss the point. She breastfeeds because she is a mom with a child to care for. To make that into an unnatural and shameful thing is to completely pervert our purpose on this planet.
Good grief. We are in fact mammals, and only really confused ideas about sexuality turns nursing into something obscene. Prudish attitudes about it are the natural result of a people who have long left a world that resembles a natural one. Our food comes in plastic containers and we hide behind clothes that might display we are mammals with genitals and mammary glands. We worry about breastfeeding moms in the corners of restaurants, but for entertainment, we watch women in bikinis bounce around on football fields and erotic music videos.
I don't have kids, nor have I have seen nursing moms do anything but try to be as discreet as they can. Most are not the type to want to show skin soon after birthing, and I've walked right up to friends without noticing they were feeding. They shroud from modesty, not from shame.
The legislation was passed because people saw a need for it and lobbied for it?? Oh, the horror!
As a mom who has occasionally run into the need to breastfeed in public, I'm pretty happy about being able to do it without being harrassed. I have also always been discreet, and I doubt that anyone has noticed what I was doing.
I sincerely disagree with your choice to characterize all women who have done this on occasion as "screaming-faced" people who are just looking to flash their breasts, because this is just clearly not true.
Do I agree that there are some breast-feeding women who do it in public just to get in people's faces? Yes. Is this the majority of breast-feeding women? Definitely not.
