In reply to the discussion: NASCAR star no longer felt like shopping or eating after seeing "nasty" breastfeeding [View all]Tsiyu

Progressive, decent American women have become increasingly disgusted with the prudery surrounding breastfeeding. We can go anywhere in the world and feed our infants but here at home.
He should have said: "Saw a woman feeding her baby, providing the baby with antibodies, bonding with her child, offering the perfect food, protecting her child and herself from disease, helping her body heal after labor and reducing her chances of getting breast cancer. What a great sight!"
Instead, his ignorance won out. I'll be calling all of his sponsors tomorrow.
We have such a difficult time getting women to nurse, just watched a "daugher" go through this and basically she gave up because it was too tough of a fight for her against society. Her baby has a lot of issues because of this, mainly gastrointestinal because he has a hard time with the formula. Guys like him just made it even more difficult for young mothers with his stigmatizing this very healthy. wholesome thing.
A shitstorm indeed!

They have the same right to nurse their baby that a bottle-feeding mom has to feed hers.

The black lesbian couple I met at Atlanta last year would certainly agree

Yeah, he probably made a beeline for the nearest Hooters to drown his distaste. n/t
