Reply #20: See, here's the thing (and this is from a guy without kids)

Not being a mom, myself (and I never will be) I can't explain the nuances behind a mom feeding her child via human nipple except that naturally, when hungry said kiddo should be fed. Most folks, in threads like that, don't knee jerk their way into a response against breastfeeding without pole vaulting like an Olympic champion over all the facts. You know...facts. Facts like the woman was feeding the child whilst the plane was preparing to leave...meaning that leaving your seat would have been against the rules. It didn't say if the kid was crying because he she was hungry. So, what's worse...screaming kid or breastfeeding (a whole Lounge flamefest could ensue from that one)? Lastly, for the sake of all that has 2 or more brain cells to rub together, it's a frikkin breast. A boob, a pec, a tit...whatever. Are these same folks pissing up a flagpole when "art" shows a naked breast? Yeah, someone go dig up Matisse just so the anti-breastfeeders of the world can give him a punch in the face, would ya?

Tell you what folks that jump ugly (thanks, Redstone!) at the premise of breastfeeding...I better not f'ing see you at a baseball game eating a hot dog. As a vegan, I might find having that within my personal eyeshot to be obscene and toss a hissy right then and there. I'll complain and cry, tantrumating (my word) in the aisle until I crap myself, just like you seem to do over this topic. You don't NEED that hot dog RIGHT THEN AND THERE to maintain life, AND you have the option of eating it in the stadium lavatory. Now, go fuck yourselves and leave the moms and their kids the hell alone.

Rant over.
