Here we go again. Breast-feeding women are organizing a nurse-in protest, this time at a Denver water park, because one of them was asked not to nurse her baby in the kiddie pool. Seriously. And she thinks she’s the offended party! I don’t care what the law says; it’s rude and inconsiderate to continue doing something when you’ve been politely asked to stop because those around you are complaining.

Today’s ridiculous Target ‘nurse-in’
Is she planning on serving everyone in the kiddie pool 1%? What’s so wrong with getting out of the water first?
I dunno. I think she’s got a screw loose, but what do I know? I’m just an uptight old prude.
Common sense must be on vacation. (or “I’m so special I can do what I want”)
And these women wonder why people get hostile.
Really, lady. Grow up. Your child is not a ticket to being on TV.
The way the local media are covering this story, she’s bound to be on TV sooner or later — probably during coverage of her planned demonstration.
I’m going to have to disagree here, my friend. A water park? Where there are boobs out all over the place? Oh, the irony! It’s kind of like this:
The link didn’t show. Try this. George Takei had it on his FB page. http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww34/pandionna/boobirony.jpg
Somebody made a similar comment on the Denver Post site. But even in a brief bikini, boobs have some semblance of cover. Besides, a mom nursing a baby gives an impression quite different from a bikini-clad swimmer — one that I think does not belong in the communal kiddie pool.
Heh, yes. Bikini boobs say, “Look at me, I’m so sexy! Jugs! Teets! Rack! Knockers! SEX!” Nursing boobs say, “This is how babies eat.” I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. 😉
Oh, and sorry if now you get every horny 13-year-old coming to your page looking for knockers. Heh!
LOL. I’ll let you know if it starts showing up in my search terms.
I just wrote a full page reply and somehow it got lost. Can you find it? Word press is driving me crazy. How can I get rid of wordpress and write
Sorry, sondrac. I checked my spam filter and my comments and it’s not there. I know how frustrating it can be to lose something you’ve spent a long time writing.
yes, the reply to your last opinion came out great. It was almost a complete page. I learned my lesson, the hard way, I have to always save as soon as I finish writing and before I submit. I could never write it the same way. It was in response to your last message.
Yep, I do the same thing. If I’ve written a comment that’s taken a lot of time and thought, I save it somewhere before I try to submit it, because as sure as I don’t, something happens to it and poof! It’s gone forever. Even when I rewrite it immediately, it’s never quite as good. So sorry this happened to you. Please don’t let it discourage you from commenting in the future.
Oh, jeez. Here we go again. This was the topic you posted on that drew my attention to your site. I still agree with you… this is something which should be a special bonding moment between mother and child which is done in private – not a public viewing which pretty much makes everyone uncomfortable. Finding privacy is simply courteous.
I hate to think this may be the face of women’s lib in the 21st Century, because I can’t go along with it. My generation did its part with abortion rights. Women far less conservative than I will have to carry the flag for breastfeeding rights.
