Christian men tempted by breastfeeding in public?

[PsychoSarah]

I think it's creepy that people would call photos like that "beautiful".

Legal doesnt=right.

People do all sorts of things I might not like, but still respect their right to do. It is called tolerance.

 

[Hetta]

No it isnt.

Where did I say that babies werent humans? That sounds like a strawman arguement to me.

When you said that people shouldn't "anthropomorphize" babies. You do know that anthropomorphize means to give human characteristics to something not human, right?

A case of using big words to try to sound smart, perhaps?

I don't think you have been on this forum for very long or have looked around very much, because I have seen many posts about inappropriate contentography, nudity, masturbation, sexuality ... stick around and you'll find that the "pervs" are loud. And so are the prudes.

I haven't, but this forum, just like much of what goes on online provides a great amount of anonymity, hence my point.....pervs will come out because they're behind a huge curtain called the internet and a monitor.

What? When? Where are all these women stripping before and after breastfeeding? In your imagination, maybe.

And what do you think they have on UNDER their towels?

I kind of live in America.

I don't think anyone in high school showers "together". However, there are naked people behind those curtains so SHOCK HORROR. The fact that service men feel "uncomfortable" showering in the same room speaks volumes for everything that is wrong with American culture. Men are comfortable with killing strangers but they are trembling with fear that they may see a naked (same sex) body in a shower. *SMH*

I believe I addressed the stripping before breastfeeding thing a few posts back....it's so hard to stay on top of so many responses. It's easier for me to go back if you don't mind.

And the towel thing....I thought you were talking about people being nude in a sauna....having a towel covering you in a sauna is not nude to me. I guess I'm confused.

When I say "anthromorphize" I mean people attribute characteristics of more mentally developed humans to babies.

Just look away dude. Enough of your crap, we all have to live with some stuff we don't like

That's not what it means though. You need to look up big words before you use them.

Looking away is the right thing to do, but women should also use a blanket to be respectful.

The respect is required on YOUR side. Do not look at breastfeeding women and sexualize them. Period. Just walk on by.

That's true, but why isnt respect also required on THEIR side?

Respect for who?

 

[Sammy-San]

Respect for who?

Respect for the other people around them.

From what I have seen of breastfeeding mothers - and it's only a glimpse because as soon as I see what is happening, I LOOK AWAY to give them their privacy - they are being respectful by finding a quiet place to feed their child. The vast majority are not shaking their breasts around to entertain or amuse pedestrians, but simply doing what their breasts were designed, which is feeding their offspring.

When I nursed, I did the same thing. There were always creeps staring and trying to see more. ugh.

It is, they don't exactly make you look now do they?

Okay, they were being respectful, but what about women who do it in restaurants? There really is no quiet private place to do something like that in a restaurant. I've heard stories on the news where patrons complained about breastfeeding women in restaurants. Those women really were being immodest, and they should have used blankets.

In restaurants (even non formal ones), you are expected to behave and act decently, and not do things that gross out people trying to eat food.

You mean like.. eating food? Which is exactly what the baby in question would be doing.

You know there IS a difference between what the baby is doing and people eating food out of dishes. There's no controversy regarding the latter.

What about the baby?
