I am unfortunately a very modest person due to certain circumstances in my upbringing (which my blog is about:)) but I would never think twice about a woman who is able to just lift up her shirt and feed her child. Apparently, my mind is able to disassociate the act of breastfeeding from public nudity for everyone but myself, lol.Aurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900095904704264142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-20037018108840662732010-07-19T12:39:37.933-04:002010-07-19T12:39:37.933-04:00I would add, breastfeeding is not gross, either. ...I would add, breastfeeding is not gross, either. People constantly equate public breastfeeding with either pubic defecation or urination, as if the act of feeding my child is synonymous with the act of eliminating waste from my ass. <br /><br />I feel like two things are going on here. First, our society, as you pointed out, views breasts solely as sexual items. It's okay to display them in a low-cut tank (as I do frequently!) but not to feed your child with. I display more in my tanks than I ever did nursing my kids. And there is also, as I pointed out, this lingering notion that nursing a child is disgusting (ewww! milk, from the boobies!) and thus needs to be hidden away in a stall. <br /><br />The only way, IMO, to eradicate the world of this kind of thinking, is to persist on just as we are doing. Nurse in public. Nurse in public. Nurse in public. Know your rights, and nurse in public.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350861069153040567noreply@blogger.com
