PB actually deleted a picture of me bf'ing. There's been huge debate over this. Interestingly, they left a pic in there of my cat with a willnot. Anyone care to see?

IN!

Wow

The key is: the baby. Totally changes the context. Where babies are, expect to see breasts for feeding. Don't like it? Go to a pub. I would expect to see penis if I walked into a men's washroom.

I agree with JCW. Cover, but don't feel you have to because some people feel weird about sexulaizing your breasts when there is a baby attached.

Exactly, it's their problem, not yours.

Its not about sexualizing the breast its about personal space.We are taught to respect each others and the exposed bare breast of a stranger is certainly a ingrained awkward situation even with the baby.If I looked at you on the beach while a wave knocked your top off I'd feel like a pig.Somehow the presence of a baby allows me to stare at something that I would be in trouble for looking at any other day.The main thing is I didnt ask for that to happen but its being forced upon me.If you have to do it because the baby is starving and you have no other place to go fine but some how I doubt thats the case most times.Mothers (and my sisters are prime examples of this) take mothering so seriously that they are sometimes in your face about it.Great you had a kid, you and 70 billion other people.Way to go.Not saying go in hiding but be more discreet.

I actually mostly agree with Bird's post. I agree with covering up, but think it's rude for someone to ask you to.

i did not read this thread in its entirety.

I think its rude both ways but only one side gets peoples sympathy.

[CT280]

nope. guess not.

[BIRD33]

what is a willnot?

[CT280]

[Pickle]

[BIRD33]

Horrible.Thanks for that.

[CT280]

SHUT UP

Cuz the law's on our side on this one, I would guess...

Yeah, only the side of people who don't want to view breastfeeding. See also: photos of such being deleted on PB and FB. Very few people nurse while exposed, so it's almost a non issue. But, if I did and someone was rude to me, I think you'd find more people on his side.

Legally, yes. But, morally, there's still so much censorship of it.

[JCW]

I wonder if it's a male vs. female perspective issue. Or a parent vs. non-parent perspective issue maybe...

I definitely do NOT agree with deleting photos from FB or PB, by the way. Same with the stores who get all offended by printing pix of kids in the tub. Way too fucking PC for my liking, I'm sorry. Westerners are waaaay too hung up on nudity being "bad".

In a crowded mall more people are going to side with the crotchety old man over the woman holding the baby?

I think the photobucket thing has more to do with where to draw the line on pictures of peoples body parts.If they have a no nipple policy or something I don't see how involving the baby circumvents that rule.Kind of another example of mothers thinking they are somehow above the rules because they've created life.
