This is what happens when we start our discussion with an article that provides almost no information. It says that some women will protest being "harassed," but with no attempt to explain what is meant by harassment. If we google up their web page, we still get very little explanation, but they are demanding to be allowed to breastfeed anywhere they are legally permitted to be.
http://www.breastfeedingmothersunite.com/2.htmlWe might pause here to point out that motherhood doesn't grant a right to trespass on others' property any more than carrying a gun does. But that would only draw the ire of the many gun owners who don't understand how rights work.
So, instead, we'll just note that this conversation will continue to be pointless and silly, until we know what "harassment" is supposed to mean. Are these Rosie O'Donnell wannabes claiming the right to expose themselves, or merely to breastfeed discreetly? Or do they demand private rooms in every "public accommodation"?
Until then, I guess it makes just as much sense to accuse makattak of being anti-breastfeeding, or to say that fistful is waging a war on table-legs. Whatever.
FTR, I have no problem with women breastfeeding in public. But I also don't think mothers get to break laws against public nudity which the rest of us are obliged to obey.
