I don't have any issue with breastfeeding. I don't think it's weird and icky. I don't think it has anything to do with sexual gratification and think the comparison to her being a paedophile is nonsensical. My opinion is that breastfeeding a six year old has more to do with the needs of the mother than the needs of the child.

Often that might be true and arguably in this case it might even seem likely, as she seems to have been seeking exposure of the issue without really considering whether or not her child will want this plastered all over the Internet, which for me is the bigger issue, but really, it's not possible to know for sure and I tend to be wary when stories like this gain mass exposure. Often latched onto by anti-breastfeeders and the formula defence league and used as an example of why no one should breastfeed past 6 months (against every piece of medical literature ever written on the subject which roughly say 6 month minimum but preferably 1 year+).


WHY have I spent half of my day defending breastfeeding? Urgh. Maybe I am a ****ing feminist :(

If she wants to go down to her child's school and squeeze her breast through the school railing at break time, that's up to her. She's made it my business and so I've decided I think it's odd.

Maybe you need a hobby, TS. Maybe this woman needs a hobby too...

I have a hobby, I'm a hardcore gamer 4lyf, but I work ALL THE ****ING TIME and you can't game whilst pretending to make coffee in the back office. All you can do is post the same opinions on the same sorts of threads on TiBB, forever, like a twisted Internet Groundhog day :(

Made me LOL...

tell me the bit about squeezing her breasts through railings again.......

This is the saddest thing I have ever read.

Steph, what do you actually think your breasts are FOR?

I'm going to assume you're trolling, rather than just stupid.

Most ridiculous post I've seen in Serious Debates for a long time. And let's face it, there has been some stiff competition.

surely a non exhibitionist can breast feed with a small blanket covering her breasts...of course the liberals believe one can get ones baps out anywhere and everywhere and to not allow this at all times and places is misogyny.....lets see how the same people react when the nudists turn up in tescos

This thread hasn't at any point been about breastfeeding in public, truth...

Certainly the most ridiculous since the one where arts students were being conscripted and trained by robot dogs, to be futuristic ninja soldiers who defuse nuclear bombs.

No... actually this is more ridiculous.

Power to Stephmonroe - It's high time every woman realised that breasts are exclusively for PARTNERS. :hehe:
