10/07 The Latest Debates
Quote From: isis59Well, it's obvious that maybe you need to do a little bit more research before making comments. On one hand, it's not OK to breastfeed in public but it's OK if it's going to calm down a 2 year old and his tantrum? Ok... which is it?
And as for the Jerry Springer comment- I won't even make any suggestions. I think it's just very sad the way you think.
I think it's very sad that our society has labeled breasts as sexual objects and made it a "sexual" thing to breastfeed a toddler. Why aren't we focusing more on people that ARE actually out there looking to prey on children and continue to encourage a natural, healthy bond?! Just sad, really. OK OK OK. Let's BACK, BACK, BACK, BACK, BACK UP! All right I don't even want to go there... BUT Let's retrack and clarify. 1st My first comment was that Mother's who breastfeed older children meaning close to Kindergarden might make an interesting discussion which it has. AND YOU ALL HAVE ENLIGHTENED ME and I WOULD GO AS FAR AS TO SAY SHOCKED ME that you include BREASTFEEDING THE ELDERLY in your pursuit. Now I don't have a problem at all with breastfeeding babies and I am ok with comforting toddlers. I don't think it is sexual at all. NOW I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BREASTFEEDING THE ELDERLY and it is kind of Sexual. And I still believe it belongs on the Jerry Springer show with the adults who wear diapers in public. And if it is not sexual to breastfeed the elderly. It is at least WEIRD. At least in my opinion.
