    here's something that's back-asswards: 2 words we use in a negative context-

    - you suck! (but babies do it in such a sweet way!)
    -fuck you (but f'ing is so nice & it makes the sweet babies!)

    why have we made these words suck & fuck profane? Back-asswards I say!

    Another thing... I think it's because we sexualized the breast, after all, it's only a modified sweat gland at best and it's to serve a purpose.. to feed the world, what a superpower!

    It's funny how up tight people can be over a natural event. :eek: Babies have been breast feed from the beginning of time. It is the way nature meant it to be. ;) I blame this on religion and the small minded perverts that believe in this mythology. :rolleyes:

    i personally think it's alright if you don't make a point of it. i never had any problem with it before but then i went to the park and there was a woman sitting on a bench breastfeeding her baby and it was alright, until one person looked up, then away from her (because some people find it embaressing to get caught looking at a mama feeding her baby) and then she flipped out! she started screaming at her saying that it's her right to publicly breast feed and throwing handfuls of sand at the person.... i have to say i was shocked, this other person is just sitting there intimidated, they didn't do anything. so now i think that as long as it's not a big production that your feeding your baby it's cool, it's fine ect. it's natural

    and this is one fucked up world we live in if everybody doesn't mind 2/3 naked women in pop culture, but anything as natural as feeding another life is frowned upon
