Dumbfounded when some people mutter under their breath about someone breastfeeding in public. I can't even *grasp* what in the heck their problem is. And yours are nice, too. ;) I’m pretty much… Dumbfounded when some people mutter under their breath about someone breastfeeding in public. I can’t even *grasp* what in the heck their problem is.

The body is doing what the body is supposed to do with <b>regard to nourishing another human being</b>. I would find it just as offensive if a breastfeeding woman whipped out the ol' boobie and began spraying people with milk as I would if someone decided to whiz on the table. But! If the rumour that peeing on a jellyfish wound will help cure the pain and stop the agony, I'd be absolutely fine with someone whipping out a wang to pee on someone's leg in public. Otherwise, I don't really want wang hanging out in, say, a restaurant. Context. All about the context. :) I should have been more specific.

I'm quite confident that if men were the ones that were biologically equipped to breastfeed this would never be an issue, and guys would be out there breastfeeding in the stands at the Leaf games. Well maybe not the Leaf games, the arena might be a bit too cold, but certainly at the Jays games ;-). But, with your permission, please allow me to play devil's advocate with one of your arguments. "Breastfeeding is natural - a case of the body doing what the body is supposed to do." Replace the word "Breastfeeding" with "Urinating" or "Defecating". Both are also "a case of the body doing what the body is supposed to do". The "sole biological purpose" of the anus is waste disposal. So as long as the waste is disposed of in a suitably safe manner (pls poop and scoop), would you have a problem with somebody voiding their bladder, or moving their bowels in public?

For a slightly different perspective on breasts, have a peek at <a href="http://www.warpfish.com/mrska/gordie/2003/may12-03.html" rel="nofollow">something I wrote (nsfw-ish)</a> four years ago. :) Go breasts!
