46. I wondered how long it would take....well,
I am not equating rear ends with baby feeding and yours is an expected hysterical response to what I wrote. We cover three areas of our bodies in our civilized society, the breast being one of these areas. Nor did I see the Jackson stunt as a "simulated rape scene" as you write I did. How do you know how I saw it? In fact I saw it as a disgusting, cheap and tawdry stunt that was completely out of place, that is, at a football game in front of a live and very large audience.

I also don't care what Bronze Age peoples did in regard to breastfeeding; I am more concerned with recent history. I suspect Bronze Age people were not too concerned about societal norms in those days as there were probably few norms other than for staying alive. Clothing, if any, was probably for warmth only and we have no idea what they thought as there are no written records. Nor do I care how women breastfeed in current primitive societies as that doesn't apply to a highly civilized society.

And please don't get racism (why not throw in World War II then)in here. It is a red herring argument, absurd namecalling etc., throwing every thing in but the kitchen sink to try to negate my points. Saying that I don't approve of something and I prefer something from a few years back doesn't mean I am for racism, let alone Hitler or George Bush. Remeber that word I used: discretion.
