51. No need to limit your outburst to the religious.

No need to limit your outburst to the religious.... you're doing yourself a big (and irrational) disservice when you deny the additional demographics who oppose public breast feeding.

DU has its own secular fundamentalists who believe breast feeding in public is "uncivil", "just asking for attention", "disrespectful of those around her."

Heads-up for the future: just keep your eyes open for any breast-feeding thread-- it's chum for the "As a guy I would find it uncomfortable to see a women breastfeeding" crowd.
