Well said
I stumbled onto Political Dogs blog they posted on Breastfeeding here is part of the post from 06/16/05…
Barbara Walters Embarrassed By Breast Feeding?
O’Reilly smugly says he isn’t against breast feeding - he just wants
all such women to carry around shawls and cover their breasts when they
feed. All I have to say to Bill is go ahead and try the exercises
listed above. As far as public decorum goes, I want to remind Bill that
it is OK for women to wear lipstick whose primary function is to
simulate the blood flowing to a woman’s lips during sexual arousal. It
is also OK for women to wear scents created with substances taken from
animals’ anal glands in order to supplement the natural smells emitted
when a woman is ovulating. It is also OK for women to get "breast jobs"
whose purpose is essentially to make a woman look as if she is just
coming into child bearing age so as to attract men sexually. These
things are OK and do not offend ordinary public decorum but a woman
feeding her baby does?
There are times when mothers cannot ‘cover up’ when they are nursing. my daughter is over two years old. I have heard all types of ignorant statements based on our nursing relationships. At times it is downright annoying. You know I have been in these situations a few times. I have forgetten my maya wrap sling or Aiyana was just not happy with something tossed over her head, well duh! so *gasps* I let her nurse while I was exposed. My god I should be ashamed of myself! You know what in our society when we have our priorities screwed up! There are people who make mothers in these situations feel uncomfortable. I know a few women who have not nursed based on the discomfort their family members and friends expressed. How selfish is that?
