Is it ok for me to expose my breast not breastfeeding. NO! I would be arrested for that. What makes woman feel it is ok to expose themselves infront of anyone and everyone and say it is only natural is beyond me. I think a business owner / citizen should have every right to say please stop breastfeeding here. At least cover up!!!! If I exposed my breast to their husband /boyfriend I'm sure they wouldn't be all that impressed. I just heard a story on the internet where a bridesmaid nursed right there at the head table!

Many of these pro-breastfeeding women feel it is the viewers problem to handle discomfort. They also argue that ALL breastfeeding mothers excercise discretion when feeding in public. NOT TRUE. When I was a 13 year old boy, I was riding the bus from the mall. In the seat across from me was a mother with a 3 year old child. I will never forget that day because the toddler lifted her shirt exposing BOTH breasts babbling loudly about wanting something. The woman had very large breasts and I got AROUSED! I had NO IDEA the baby was trying to FEED (sex education at my school did not prepare me for it). I was not a perverted boy. I just got SEXUALLY EXCITED looking at those large nipples and breasts 4 feet in front of me. I tried to look away...but I couldn't help but look everytime the child started yelling and lifted her shirt. My hormones were raging, and I had HONESTLY HAD NO IDEA why this white lady was giving me such a show on the bus. In my uneducated mind, it was a surreal display erotic body parts in a place I would have never imagined seeing large breasts for the first time. In my opinion, either more education on breastfeeding needs to happen or PUBLIC breastfeeding should stop. I could not help myself then. Hopefully my comments won't get deleted because of my honesty. I feel the racial detail of my comment enhances the impact of my experience. I will keep my comments as clean yet HONEST as possible.
