Breast feeding in public? Your views?

[Natsku]

stimulating a womans nipples can result in orgasm, which is why it is used to jump start labor. i agree about sexism when it pertains to work etc, but not when it comes to our bodies. should we all start walking around naked?

What would be wrong with that?

 

[louandivy]

You keep missing my point. I don't think everyone Should start walking around naked, I think women should have the choice to go topless in public just as men do without being made to feel ashamed of their bodies.

 

[louandivy]

And yeah I don't actually think there is anything wrong with nudity except that I'm into fashion and like wearing clothes

You only have to look at the Superbowl which aired sunday at just how badly the female body is sexualised and casually used as commodity. But, dare a woman breasfeed quietly in a corner she is perverting and corrupting minds. This writer sums it up perfectly, https://www.patheos.com/blogs/duffy/2013/02/sex-shame-and-the-superbowl/

If one persons wishes to be "discreet" by covering all or part of the breast then that's their choice but to say everyone should do the same in order for nip to be acceptable is in my opinion very wrong.
The opinion that breasts are sexual first before any other function needs to change before nip is widely accepted.
Men on a caveman level see breast as sexual because it represents the ability to nurture young.

i actually agree with this and the caveman theory is very interesting

i do think breasts are sexual, but in no way think nip is perverting society,

This whole debate has just gotte silly. It's about societal norms and those don't just change over Night. just because you feel one way doesnt mean everyone shoukd or does. The way to make nip normal to people other than nursing moms is not to walk around topless (btw where do you live that men walk around topless all day) or showing no consideration to those who aren't comfortable seeing your breast. Maybe they shouldn't be uncomfortable but lots of people are and that's reason enough for me to not walk around shocking people by showing no concern for their opinions while nip. The point people in here are missing is that you aren't helping the nip cause by only caring about yourself. Look at any cause that has been fought for. Women's right to vote, women didn't just go around demanding to vote or not caring about others opinions in the matter. It took a long time And a Long process.

You don't change societal norms by sticking to them.

Actually, as I said earlier in the thread, women did demand that they got the vote, the suffragettes went a very long way to obtaining the vote for women and did a lot for women's rights and they did it by force pretty much.

a mans chest isnt sexual in the way that, kissing it etc would not result in orgasm( tmi!)

How do you know?

I don't get anything from having my nipples kissed/played with. I've come closer to orgasming by having my neck kissed. So by this logic I should cover my neck but I can let my nipples hang out for all to see.

ok let your nipples out for all to see, but youll get arrested as public nudity is illegal for women AND men.

 

[Natsku]

Men don't get arrested for having their nipples out though

By definition, societal norms are changed by more visibility. They certainly aren't changed by hiding away. the question was asked about gay pride marches and gay people kissing in the street. That is exactly how homosexuality became more accepted in the UK and thank goodness it did. But doing it more often, it becomes a frequent occurrence and therefore a societal norm. Women did indeed fight hard for the right to vote, but even something less extreme. It used to be wholly unacceptable for women to wear trousers.m Do you think that was changed by women only doing that in private, or hiding in a corner? No, it became a societal norm by women going out and wearing trousers. the only thing that took time were the dinosaurs who were so offended by it to die off.

The same is true of breastfeeding, it will only become acceptable when it is seen more often. And if anyone is offended by it, they can choose to look away. Those people will soon see they are in a minority and either shut up, or be berated for their views.

I'm becoming really annoyed with the inference that because I NIP and gave not a second thought for anyone around me who was bothered by it, that I am selfish and inconsiderate. Where it is called for, I am very considerate to others and anyone who knows me knows I am not the type of person who is selfish and nor do I think I have some kind of special status because I have children. But in scenarios where people are being offended because they are refusing to accept they can stop themselves being offended, I'm not going to bend over backwards to pander to them. it's like those kinds of people who will watch an alternative comedian on TV then write to complain they were offended.

But, here's a thought for all those private NIP-ers. Clearly there are a lot of women who are offended by people being so secretive about it. And are being offended by the comments on here and are being labled as selfish for not thinking of others. How come your apparently boundless need not to possibly offend people doesn't extend to them?

She is way more covered up than most people are talking about in here.

Can you not see how that would come off as kind of self centered or selfish to someone?

I don't think choosing not to show your whole breast is secretive. If you wanna see my boob that bad then that isn't you being offended that's you being odd.
