September 13th, 2007Try to remember that.
Before I deleted everything over at cajo, I got an amusing comment from someone at 66.146.205.10, an IP that resolves to a Chicago-based ISP, on this entry:
Natural, yes. But do we all want to see it? NO. Just because you’re ok with it doesn’t mean everyone else is. Try to remember that.
You know, I had no idea that I was such an exhibitionist. I mean, this anonymous (me@me.com? Brilliant!) poster must have caught one of my acts a local restaurant, where I stood, half naked, on a table, latched Matthew on while squirting everyone in the face with my sexy breastmilk. There I was, nursing my kid, in ZOMG plain view of everyone, their mother and uncle, while sex-crazed patrons screamed and shouted, “MORE! MORE! MORE!”
Insert eye roll here.
I’m not okay with people who don’t have the guts to lay a name to their opinion (what is your opinion worth if you’re too scared to stand behind it? nada!), especially one as oppressive as breastfeeding in public.

Oh, good grief. Having met you for the first time while you were breastfeeding, I can assure you that I never would have known if we weren’t also talking about it. And you were still pretty new at it, then!

You know, I will never understand the whole “OMG breastfeeding is teh ick!!!” thing. What is the big deal?

I will never understand it either - well I think I understand it, in that I think people cannot separate their own feelings about breasts (whatever they may be) with breast *feeding*. I say deal with your own hangups and leave me alone, hater. Sheesh.
