My Lord!!! are your comparisons sophomoric. Breast feeding a baby is akin to urinating in public??? Sheesh... of all the years I've been on FR, all the posts, all the threads that has to be one of the more asinine comments of all time. But I shouldn't be surprised...FR is attracting a vastly different 'type' now. One of the reasons I no longer posts the hundreds upon hundreds of foreign policy, DOD, defense, advance technology threads as I once did.

'Me thinks' you have many other issues, other hangups not revealed here.

According to the article, the woman was covered. I have been in the presence of women breastfeeding and ALL were very discreet in all their actions. Women's maternal fashions/bras allow breasting feeding in a very nondescript way. Many times the only way you know its going on is the presence of her blanket/cover and the way she is holding her arms. Amazing that bothers people.

Others on this thread have stated about some women 'popping out a boob' well I don't agree with that...but I have never seen that done. Urinating in public is a natural 'thing' for the beasts among us.

Is averting your eyes, (or stare) too much for you? But alas, with your stated position...others should accomodate your sensibilities.

"Breast feeding a baby is akin to urinating in public???"

What's the difference? Both are natural functions of the human body and both can be necessary to satisfy urgent bodily needs.

So, please explain the difference to me.

"According to the article, the woman was covered."

Yep, and in those circumstance, I have no problem with public nursing. Discretion is the key.

But I'd still like an explanation from you as to why nursing in public and urinating in public aren't equally acceptable or objectionable.
