10/07 The Latest Debates

Quote From: siap1213

Please tell me... When was the last time you saw a woman "openly and flagrantly breastfeeding in public without covering her nude body"?  Give me a break!  Do you think we just take off our clothes and latch the baby on?  An intelligent woman would not expose herself for more than a brief second, and that's usually the baby's doing.  And in my experience with talking with other breastfeeding moms, unintelligent women usually aren't the ones breastfeeding.  PLEASE stare at me when I'm breastfeeding!  That's a perfect opportunity for me to give you a smile and strike up a conversation to try to rid you of your so obvious ignorance on this subject! 

I think that there are many women who use breastfeeding as a tool. By that I mean they use them to get attention. You have got to realize that there are women "pop them out" to get a reaction almost daring someone to speak. I breastfed my kids and I had enough respect for them and pride in myself to cover coverup. Some women do not.

I think you're taking this personal and what he/she said wasn't really meant in that way. The lady on the show said she didn't cover up at all and she felt she shouldn't have too. I'm sure the person you replied to was addressing that and not attacking the mothers who are respectful enough to cover up.
