A mother breast feeding her daughter is a tramp?

Sometimes the news can really annoy me, because it shows the idiot's that the internet has given a slight voice to. I of course say this about today's news that a mother breast feeding her daughter has been labelled a tramp (click here to read the story)

To me, breast feeding is fine. Infact, truth be told, i'm actually not botherd about it. I know many nurses will encourage mothers to do it because of all the sciency stuff behind it... but how can mother's be expected to want to do it, when they're going to be subjected to riddicule as we're currently seeing.

Wasn't it only yesterday that it was women's day? A celebration of women and women's right's etc? Yet here we are, slapped back to reality by... well... reality.

Often with arguments like the breast feeding debate, i can see both sides and usually my opinion will fall kind of in the middle, but leaning towards one side. On this topic, i honestly cannot see the objection to breast feeding in a public place. It could just be me being narrow minded or completely missing something, but when i've seen breast feeding in public, i've not felt sick, it's not made me feel awkward... anything. I just don't see the objection to it.

Maybe the objection comes from those who say that women should have some level of modesty. I presume these people are aware that we're all born naked, and maybe i shouldn't find it laughable that these people often complain about women wearing burka's... so erm... what do you want women to do?

Maybe it's those who complain that it's giving men too much to see... pha! May i just at this point add that as a gay man, i went to toronto gay pride in 2012. Gay prides are usually full of mostly naked men, clothing in many cases seems to be optional... did i have to start dry humping them? No. Did i have to take pictures? No. Did i have to do anything i wouldn't have done if naked people hadn't have been there? No!

Look, the truth of it all is... i fail to see what the objection is to it, and i also fail to see why mothers should have to be subjected to such vile comments that i've seen on social media, when all's they're doing is feeding a child.

So, to those who don't like breast feeding in public... i say... don't go out in public.
