The most shocking part of the article is some of her students complained.

Adrienne Pine
Assistant Professor
Department of Anthropology

Adrienne Pine is a militant medical anthropologist who has worked in Honduras, Mexico, Korea, the United States, and Egypt. In her book, Working Hard, Drinking Hard: On Violence and Survival in Honduras, she argues that the symbolic violence resulting from Hondurans’ embodied obsession with certain forms of 'real' violence is a necessary condition for the acceptance of violent forms of modernity and capitalism. Dr. Pine has worked both outside and inside the academy to effect a more just world. Prior to and following the June 2009 military coup in Honduras, she has collaborated with numerous organizations and individuals to bring international attention to the Honduran struggle to halt the state violence (in its multiple forms). She has also conducted extensive research on the impact of corporate health-care and health-care technologies on labor practices in the U.S.

Reminds me the scene from Me, Myself, and Irene.

This woman sounds like a real fruitcake, as one might expect of someone who teaches a university class on “sex, gender, and culture” these days.

On the other hand, I don’t see anything wrong with breastfeeding in public, as long as it is done discreetly. There’s nothing sexy about breastfeeding—it’s a normal human thing to do.

This article fails to mention, as an earlier article I read somewhere did, that many of the students objected to her bringing a sick baby with a fever to class with her and letting it run around and probably spread the disease.

That’s the thing that I would object to. I don’t know how many times my grandchildren have come down with various bugs, which then spread to their parents and to us, because some inconsiderate parent dropped their sick child off at school. At least wait until the fever is gone.

I'll give the militant idiot one thing... Feeding baby is a normal human function, and should be done where required.

The problem is having women in academia in the first place. No need to freak out the class if she is consigned to ironing her husband's pants and cooking his dinner. And, of course, taking care of the kids.

Do you think she is giving her class her undivided attention? I think they deserve her undivided attention considering the outrageous sums they are paying for the privilege of listening to her precious wisdom.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Good lord, woman, just cancel class.

The world will keep spinning without hearing about your brilliant thoughts on some topic no one gives a damn about.

[papertyger]

Sorry, as far as I’m concerned nursing moms get carte blanche when feeding the young’in.

Being offended by a nursing boob is on par with being offended by the consumption of meat.

Her timing SUCKS.
(so does the kid...ha)

If she had done this 2 weeks earlier she would have been given a speaking slot at the Dopey Nonsensical Competion in Charlotteville NC.

That would have gotten some attention - whip it out and yell come and get it and prop her kid up.....

Course then the idiots would have called it a wardrobe malfunction.

[wardaddy]

this woman is a nut...folks should read about her

a Jewish progressive feminist fruitbat who of course...sympathizes with Israel's enemies

hates America and it's male power structure

thinks Conservative Christians are Gnatzees and the rest of the usual progressive buffet

I got one question...how do you get “up” for the occasion to give her that baby?

I don't think I could with a bucket of Cialis and a gun to my head

I cannot imagine she actually has a real husband...

Humans are "mammals".

The classification basis is "mammaries".

Seems pretty basic to me. What is those little studirats' gripe?
