Breastfeeding in Public

You use those breasts to suckle your infant in the morning, unbutton two or three top buttons to get out of a speeding ticket in the afternoon, wear a low-cut dress with a pushup bra to look sexy in the evening and expose to turn on your signicant other at night for, well you know. For some people it is hard to keep up with your state of mind at the time and confuse one activity with another. The whole North American society revolves around women's breasts, way too much in my opinion. The problem with dual purpose organs is that some people do not know where one activity ends and another begins and women's breasts have been highly sexualized. So until we all become nudists, the controversy will continue.

Let me say I am not a prude and really dont care one way or another if you breastfeed in public, as long as it is done discreetly, unlike that woman who stripped to the waist and breastfed poolside, and actually ended up with an apology. It is a non issue to me.
