Why are people against breastfeeding? Why are people against breastfeeding in public?
I don't get it.
Adults go out in public and eat. That's why we have those things called restaurants and fast food joints. Do some people forget that infants and toddlers are human beings?
Newsflash: Newborns are human beings, and have just as much right to eat food as you or I do.
So if it's not the infant, what is it? The breast?
What do people have against body parts? You use your arm to pick up the fork and shovel food into YOUR mouth. What do you have against a breast?
I can see what you're thinking, reader: But breasts aren't the same as an arm!!
Yes, you're right. Breasts are so much better than arms. Breasts make food of their own accord! They provide all the nurishment that a young human being needs in the first 6 months of their life, if not longer. Breastmilk doesn't go bad, doesn't need to be warmed up, tastes sweet (so I've heard), helps protect young ones against diseases and illnesses and is what our bodies were made to do.
Breastfeeding should be the NORM of our society, not something we have to fight to protect.
There is nothing indecent about breastfeeding.
There is no inappropriate body part "exposed" during breastfeeding.
A breast feeding a child is not a sex object.
Seeing the skin of a breast while a child is being fed is no different than seeing the skin of your arm.
BREASTS ARE PARTS OF OUR BODIES. Get used to it.
