perhaps those people want milk too? (▰˘◡˘▰)
I mean we have no right to say what others can and cannot do but if a mother wants to feed her baby. Let her feed the fucking thing
I think they're mainly arguments about modesty and the health aspects of breast feeding randomly, germs and stuff. Personal preference, I still hear my older sister complain about when my mom was breast feeding me, then again we're at that age of "to make a baby or to not make a baby" her discomfort is unexplainable it's just an emotion of surprise I guess. My mom was the more "anal" type and was quite sanitary when we were growing up so I think she was the type to encourage breastfeeding safety in a room. Modesty aspect, we're also Asian so there's this weird enigma that cleavage is a no-no, but those Korean ass shorts are fine. Attempting to make it look like you have legs for days is ok I guess (?) but shun thy boobies heathen.
It really doesn't matter how it's done. Discomfort or not it only matter is someone's gonna be a pansy and complain audaciously.
All in all I'm just saying it's fine to be comfortable or uncomfortable about it, people though shouldn't try to socially correct someone who doesn't give a fuck.
Aw, very nice of you, I feel sorry for the mother. I can say people nowadays have no empathy, selfish and so rude. Their view of life is so narrow. If there's a public breastfeeding room, maybe the mother can breastfeeding her child in there. But the mom is kinda wrong tho' for open her aurat in public even if she's breastfeeding, she should cover it so people didn't pay attention for it.
Breastfeeding is natural. Women should be able to feed their hungry children wherever. People should learn how to mind their business and look away if they find it disturbing.
I've seen plenty of mothers breastfeed in public before. Those people that were making fun of the mother are dumb as fuck because she can't just 'wait till she gets home' cause the baby will cry and starve. PS gj for spilling the coke (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
What kind of "people nowadays" are you hanging around with? Middleschoolers?
The second half of the message was fine, but the first part... I've worked retail for years but I still wouldn't give the general public a bad generalization because then that's just hypocritical.
Where do u live bruh? The world is filled with parasitic beings. Also good people, but the trend is ....
I'm assuming you're in America since your English reads a lot like American English. With that said, Americans can't tell the difference between nudity and sex. Meaning, to them, any part of the human body is synonymous with sex. They see sex when exposed to bare skin instead of human body parts. That's one of the reasons why people shame mothers for breast feeding in public. Breasts exist mainly to feed children but American media has brainwashed their viewers to see breasts as only sexual organs and nothing else. It's quite sad when you think of it.
I somewhat agree with you. But I wouldn't say it dumb of people to think of the human body as a giant walking sex organ. In the last three decades, since the sex revolution with the hippies, American media has been bombarding people with sexualized images of women and men. The old trick: "sex sells" is still in use. A lot of kids are growing up with the message that their bodies exist solely for sex and it leads them to see nothing but sex. You now have three generations of Americans who have grown up with this kind of media and thinks it's ok because it's all they've ever seen on TV, ads, and social media. Just look at Disney, they have little preteens acting out romance plot lines and kissing on screen. Some of the things Disney does is almost borderline child porn but parents still let their kids watch and Disney makes a shit ton of money.
I am completely bias here. I personally believe that the mother can breastfeed her baby in public. She used her jacket to warm the baby so she couldn't cover up, but breastfeeding in public is more or less like the people who wear short skirts or topless. Another thing, breastfeeding is very beneficial for the young children as it developed a bond between the mother and the child in which will allow the child to be more mentally developed; hence, breastfeeding should not be shamed or look down upon.
And I shall be speaking assuming those three are young girls? I do see why religion may play a role in this, but mostly arrogant. They shouldn't see breastfeeding in public as a sinful thing, be as a model. If they (the girls) shame that woman, what are they seeing themselves in the future with their own kids or hear that some young people did it to their daughters? Maybe the mother couldn't afford milk and have to breastfeed the baby or it could've been a number of causes for her to breastfeed her child in public. And also, when a baby is hungry, the baby is hungry. Would you rather have a crying baby or a mother simply breastfeed? I personally choose breastfeeding bc crying would be more awkward and mentally stressful.
I am grateful that you where able to help out the woman and even offered your jacket, it was very kind of you. We need more people like you. Bc I am a woman, I would love to have someone like you looking out for me and my fellow women.
The funny thing is that it's only in American media. You hardly see this kind of aggresive sexual advertising in Europe, Asia, Africa, and other parts of the world. Europeans even complain that Americans can't separate the two. That's what led me to analyzing American media instead of just accepting it. A European classmate made a comment about how obsessed our culture is with sex and started pointing things out whenever he saw a sexualized ad or something. It was rather annoying but it was also a really big eye opener.
I was on my way to a bus stop when I noticed a mother sitting by herself with her baby, and decided to keep her company while I waited for the bus to arrive. (I'm a 16 yr old male, a loner at that, and have no experience socializing let alone with people with children so it was awkward af). I noticed people were giving the mother glares and awkward gestures which I tried ignoring until it became too far and a trio came humiliating her. I understand that people may be uncomfortable about the fact that she's breastfeeding in public, but the part that you have to go as far as humiliating her and shaming her is ridiculous. A mother is doing her role on keeping her child healthy. It's okay to feel disgusted/uncomfortable about it (emotions is what makes us human). I just don't understand why people promote humiliation and shame for something so little. I mean, put yourself in the mother's shoes, the baby is hungry it's not her fault, I bet if she had options she would choose to do it at home or away from the public. Idk, how do you guys feel about this? I just wanna see some opinions.
(As revenge for humiliating the mother, I spilt my coke on one of the girls. :D and gave the mother my sweater to help cover up because it was cold and she already used her jacket for her baby. That mom was really nice)
