I'm strangely conflicted by all the brouhaha.

First, I'm fascinated by that woman with twins, one on each boob. Wow. It's hard to take your eyes off her.

Second, I'm disgusted that there is a such a thing as a breastfeeding awareness campaign.

(If people are not aware of breast feeding by now, how stupid are they?)

and personally, breast feeding is not something I would do in public.

Not for any awareness campaign or to feed the brats.


Conflicted.






The campaign is in place because so many women won't feed their babies in public, or at all that way.
The stigma of breastfeeding has embarrassed many women into NOT doing it. It's GOOD for the baby, it's the natural way and society has made it wrong.

I feed ALL 3 of my sons whenever they were hungry. I covered myself up as best I could. Anyone who had a problem with it, it's their problem. I wasn't going to make my babies wait to eat because of someone else's issues.

The brats need to eat.




Most of the time breast feeding is healthy. Sometimes mama's milk is no good, and the kid can starve to death. It almost happened to my niece.

The stupid doctors didn't have a clue. My Mother noticed it right away and told my sis to get that kid on some formula.

I still don't think there should be any campaign for breast feeding awareness, and for the most part I don't think it is necessary to do it in public, but if it is, there should be a way to do it with a little modesty and class.











There are rare times when mother has a problem with her milk...
generally it's better for baby and the entire nursing process is also aiding in the mothers healing from pregnancy and birth. The uterus is contracting back "down" with the sucking. There is a reason we women are put together the way we are..

I know women who let their baby cry all the way home because they will not feed in public..that is just silly. As long as women feel this way, then the campaign is needed.


That is totally unnecessary. You can have bottles available anywhere anytime, even with mother's milk in them if you don't want to nurse in public. That is just being lazy if you don't.

I think people should do what they are comfortable with. I personally would not want to do it in public with a bunch of men or women staring. But I would if it was necessary.

This whole controversy just proves that women are only seen as sexual objects in an oversexed society. There is no respect or dignity shown to women as human beings. Women used to be considered unclean during their menstrual cycle and made to stay away from people during her period. This is just another similar situation.

Even if women pumped and put breast milk into bottles, aren't you supposed to keep them cold and heat them up at the time of feeding? That's what I've heard from my friends who are mothers. They've said that can be difficult if you're out in public.

Am I being accused of not respecting women as human, I am oversexed and see them as dirty scum????

How can we, all men, be labeled as women haters?

I have been with women who were oversexed and with some who were icebergs.

Had to run away from the nymphos and lose the iced-boxes.rofl slaphead smokin

Hating women and viewing them as sex objects are two different things.

And, yes, I am making a generalized statement that doe not apply to 100% of the male population. But, it is the way our society views women. Women in our society also see themselves as devalued sex objects.

The article has inaccurate information. The two women in the picture are wearing BDUs, which you are allowed to eat, drink and basically live in.

I see nothing wrong with it, but I do think the woman with the twins could cover up a bit.

EDIT: I really think that the author of the article is trying to create drama, rather than just tell the facts. As stated above, the women didn't break any rules by breast feeding in their BDUs. The article is very vague about who is disturbed by this. I call shenanigans.

You are probably very right. They claim "controversy" and "outrage."

Where is the outrage?

whoa I'm more concerned about the story I heard of the soldier who was killed while texting, and the a**hole who almost ran me off the road today while on his phone.

Pumping and storing milk in general is a pain, was for me.

That's the beautiful thing about this....no money spent, no mixing with water. The baby is hungry, ya plug em in and feed them. It's a shame it has to be turned into a hassle, and embarrassing for women. It's really a very natural process.

You would think society is a bunch of 10 year old boys seeing a boob for the first time. It's breastfeeding for gods sake, not porn.
