Boobies

Heaven help those who can't handle catching a glimpse of a woman's breast in public. In a country where we don't blink an eye at women who flash their breasts for cheap, plastic Mardi Gras beads, or give spring break vacationers a show on London Bridge in Arizona (and even film the events for "Girls Gone Wild", and the commercials shown for it every 10 minutes on Comedy Central), American society's reaction to women who breastfeed in public is quite negative. The fact that it is a controversy at all is bewildering to say the least. As if we're some kind of savages for choosing to use the breast for their intended purpose. There's an uproar over the "Baby Talk" magazine cover that features a close up photo of an infant nursing at an exposed breast. Big flippin' woo! Do you really think the mother is trying to seduce you with her exposed lactating boobie? We're such hypocticial prudes. Society has classified and objectified breasts as sexual and forgotten their designed primary function. If a woman feeding her child at her breast in public offends you so greatly, then I suggest some therapy may be in order. Perhaps you'll get to the root of your discomfort that the sight of breasts gives you...like maybe you didn't spend enough time at your own mother's breast. If that doesn't work then I have another suggestion for you. Don't look.
