Mums win 'right' to get their breasts out in public

Mothers will win the right to breastfeed in public

I don't actually have much of a problem with this, although I think its slightly distasteful that women might be so keen to do something that was - in the past - considered a bit private, in public. But then people are more exhibitionistic these days.

And who can really complain about seeing more breasts on display? As long as they are attractive ones of course!

However, I can just imagine that within a few years it will become an offense for men to look at women while they are breastfeeding. Then it will become an offense for a man to even accidentally see a woman breastfeeding. Then the lawyers will advise men that its probably breast... I mean best for them to keep their eyes on the ground at all times when in public.

Trust me, this cannot be far away now!

So is menstration, urination and defication.; 11:53 pm

The first group is very discreet, carefully covering the breast area while giving the baby the access.

The second group covers the breast while getting the baby in position, then with the baby's mouth covering the nipple, allow some exposure.

The third group openly brings out the breast, and moves the baby to it.

My mother breast fed us all, so when I see a breast with a hungry baby next to it, it has no connotations at all of privacy violation. That same breast without a baby would be rather exciting.

I think this is a case of what we are used to. If you are not used to women breast feeding, it may offend you, but those in a culture where it is normal pay no attention.

I remember a cousin's wife had a new baby. I went to see it, and she happened to be feeding it. She uncovered the baby, which exposed her breast except for the nipple, with no embarrassment at all.

The problem is, instead of being brownish around the nipple,it was BLUE. I was fascinated, and have a strong desire to see that puppy again, heh, heh. I had no idea women had blue around the nipple, apparently that is common in her ancestral tribe.

Breastfeeding is natural (we are mammals after all), as well as beneficial to the child's health and it is disgusting how some jurisdictions have tried to force women in public areas to use restrooms to do it. I'd like to see them suggest that they feed their older (i.e. not breast feeding) children their food in a toilet!

Get over it, Putritanical freaks. They are just breasts.; 7:16 am

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
