You realize you just implied that public breastfeeding is "uncivilized"

I didn't. I said some people are uncomfortable with bare breasts.

Truly groundbreaking, progressive, and controversial.

how many single CB'ers are now setting up appts for their 'wife' to rent pump?

I'm very pro breastfeeding and I agree with your general point

Another thing to keep in mind - only mom can breastfeed

A convenience, not a requirement.

Feeding a child does not equate to taking a crap. FYI

Blue Ghost

And there we go - the breastfeeding/peeing analogy.

Good argument. Hyperbolic generalizations always win.

Better analogy is changing a diaper

So it's about how difficult a task is?

StantonMac

5/21/15 11:09am

No.

SoCalCoug

5/21/15 11:44am

The vast majority of women don't cover up because society is "forcing" them to.

StantonMac

5/21/15 11:58am

"inner sense of modesty"

5/21/15 12:12pm

Whatever the cause, you are saying people "force" women to cover up

In many ways I do feel oppressed, but that's another discussion

SoCalCoug

Are you really saying people who want women to cover up do so because they HATE

Holy crap, but people around here have such narrow interpretations of words

SoCalCoug

Epileptic Beagle

5/21/15 4:05pm

Because I know the actual definition of words?

SoCalCoug

5/21/15 7:49pm

Words have a meaning. Misogyny, homophobia, racism, etc. are strong words

jbonita

5/21/15 5:23pm

I think the words fit.

When people read my posts, does an angry voice say the words in their heads?
