But anyway What I ment by you need to stop sniping at men. Im going to finish it. The point of it is becuase men most are never going to stop thinking it is sick. Their is litterly no point in even trying It is the way they are grown up in schools in household And in many other areas of aspect.

What with the blurred brainy bimbos and all. Will have to check it out some time.<BR/><BR/>Hi Sebrina!<BR/>Thanks so much for stopping by. Well, to play devils' advocate for a moment, it it really a huge problem if a group of 13 year old, possibly horny, boy scouts encounter a naked breast in a restaurant and have to learn how to act in a socially appropriate manner despite their curiosity and possible lust? <BR/><BR/>I think one reason for our weird fixation on the sexual in this country is because we don't accept human bodies and their sexuality as a normal part of life. And a glimpse of a naked breast while a mother breast feeds should be something any normal healthy adult or child can tolerate without freaking out. <BR/><BR/>But that's just me, and I know lots of people feel differently.

But consider this, a restaurant full of 13 year old boy scouts watching as a mother switches her child from one breast to the other? Do you seriously believe they are watching her thinking what a beautiful & natural sight it is to see a mother bonding with her child? No, they are thinking a little lower. I spent many years waiting tables & I have seen it with my own eyes. It is easily remedied though. Common courtesy & a receiving blanket. I know one woman who breast feed all 3 of her children till they were almost 2. Her 6 year old would reach down her shirt & pull out her breast in the middle of the restaurant because he wanted to "see it". Yes, it can be a beautiful thing. And yes it can be offensive. A little courtesy goes a long way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-25088324316150318062007-06-22T10:41:00.000-04:002007-06-22T10:41:00.000-04:00You know what cracks me up?There's this show on E!...You know what cracks me up?<BR/><BR/>There's this show on E! called The Girls Next Door.

And not too long ago having a pregnant woman on tv was taboo. This breastfeeding thing is just another hurdle for women.<BR/><BR/>Off topic a little: In NY they passed a law where it is legal for women to go topless because men are allowed to go topless. I don't understand why people differentiate between a man's chest and a woman's chest.

I actually chewed out these 2 old guys in a store because of their behavior towards a woman who was breastfeeding. Mind you this was quite a few years ago, so I don't remember word for word what they were saying, but at the time I was shopping and became aware of these two acting indignant and making comments in regards to a woman who was standing a few feet off nursing her child. She was kinda standing off in the clothing rounders so she was somewhat concealed from the other shoppers, but you could still look and tell what she was doing. The 2 guys were acting all offended and making comments about how she needed to go somewhere else and do "that", and they were certainly trying to embarrass the poor girl. When I realized this, I got angry. I told them that they needed to knock it off and mind their own business. I was like " I bet if she was on a stage in some strip club somewhere shaking her breasts, you would think that's okay, but she's not supposed to use them for what they were intended for? You need to shut your mouths and keep your comments to yourself." They were certainly taken back, and I think the one guy was actually thinking of mouthing off to me, but then he realized that there were a whole bunch of people who were taking interest in the conversation, and were shooting him dirty looks. Especially the women. So they wandered off. The lady who was breastfeeding looks at me and said "Thank you." She had heard all the comments the 2 guys were making about her. I don't understand how anyone can think there's anything wrong with feeding a baby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56466934322923073962007-06-20T20:52:00.000-04:002007-06-20T20:52:00.000-04:00When my daughter was a baby I breast fed her and w...When my daughter was a baby I breast fed her and was told to go hide in the bathroom to feed her because someone was offended.

I needed a breast pump to relieve some of the pressure and the Male nurse FREAKED. This in a hospital that advertisises it's "excelent" OB ward.

I tried it about 4 years ago [for 2 months], and i'm not sure it really helped.<BR/>30% of the fat you eat just goes straight through you. That means that you continuously "leak" fluid that looks, and feels like cooking oil. How much you leak, depends on how much fat was in what you ate.[But you still ALWAYS leak]<BR/>I always felt like a mess. I tried using panty liners, but because it's oil, i didn't feel any cleaner. You still have to change your pants all the time. A few times i was out, and after sitting down, i actualy looked like i'd messed myself when i stood up, because there was a dark patch on my pants crutch!<BR/>It's just a big hygeine issue for me, I always felt dirty.TitanThirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409728436640335599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-41892390979249221972007-06-18T21:26:00.000-04:002007-06-18T21:26:00.000-04:00Psst, Crabby -- I tagged you for a meme too. :DPsst, Crabby -- <A HREF="http://www.chickengirl.net/2007/06/18/getting-to-know-you-getting-to-know-all-about-you/" REL="nofollow">I tagged you for a meme too</A>. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
