Example #1: If a man urinates on the sidewalk he creates an offensive puddle of bodily effluent which people can smell, which they can step in, and which presents a potential health hazard. I'm not only not "comfortable" with it, I think it's disgusting and I will make and obejection.
(BTW, I'm not talking about a male, shielded from view, urinating at the side of the Interstate. Sometimes that's a necessity, especially but not only for children, and it doesn't present any of the problems listed in #1.)
Example #2: If a man has a urinary catheter, quite hidden from view, and urinates into a little baggie strapped to his leg--- whether at a restaurant, walking out in public, or at the family Thanksgiving dinner--- I have no problem with that at all.
Modest breast-feeding, which is the only sort which has been defended on this thread, is comparable to Example #2.
Reductio ad adsurdum: if the woman wants to take a breast out while she's walking down a city street and milk it into the gutter, OK, I object to that, too. But sheesh. That's not what we're talking about.
I don 't trust the people who are concerned about the modesty of breast feeding women.Have any of you prudes considered what it is like to be a little baby wrapped up in a blanket on a day when the temperature has hit 110 degrees?
Oh , and your toilet analogy does not work either.Most restrooms are crowded and dirty. It is cruel of you to expect a little baby to eat in one. Go eat in one yourself.
I hardly consider this a reasonable amount of modesty.
