Thumbs down censoring breastfeeding

This is a youtube movie. It's about breastfeeding.
Anyway, it's not so much the movie itself but rather some of the comments to which I've replied.
(do CTRL+F - look for 'karl' and you'll find my comments)

it has nothing to do with sex or exhibition if a mother gives her child the breast it's natural
people (=men) that think different are perverted

don't be an idiot, julien16. generally - like it or not - nature has dictated that men find breasts attractive. If you don't, that's fine, but most men do. There is _nothing_ remotely perverted about enjoying a good look at something so pleasing to the eye.
Many women enjoy looking at a man's backside, but it's _correct_ function is for expelling waste from the body. Using your limited logic, any woman who casts her eye over a man's backside is inherently a pervert.
Duh!

Julien16
no
and I'm not an idiot
looking at a breast is one thing
you can find it erotical or not - I don't care
but looking at a mom that gives her child the breast and you think to sex
it's perverted

mathewskarl
and hence, any woman who looks at a man's backside and thinks 'sex' is in your logic, a pervert!
I don't think you're an idiot, but you're acting like one by classing any man a pervert for the crime of seeing sexualised organs and thinking 'sex'.
Perverse is to deviate from the norm. The majority of men seeing an exposed breast will think "sex" as breasts are used by women in a sexual manner. It is you who is deviating from the norm, thereby making *you* the perverse one.

Julien16
I'm not perverted
I'm gay
but I still like breasts
and I think to sex if I see them (without! baby)
but not with a baby on them
that's the pervert fact
the baby on them and you still think to sex
baby - sex - perverted

mathewskarl
Julien16, I take back what I said in my last post.
I now DO think you're an idiot.
When a man sees a baby suckling on it's mother's breast, and a man looks, and then thinks 'sex' - he is not thinking, as you imply "Ah, baby & boob = sex". He is thinking "Ah, nice jugs". The baby is not a part of the sexualised thought process. This clearly classifies you as an idiot.
Please back up your "fact" statement with data instead of personal beliefs.

Julien16
oh it's a fact
why do you think kids getting raped?
they have nothing sexual, they're just kids
but still some people think it
and if you see a baby drinking on a breast and think to sex
or more you wanna have sex with the mom
I'll call you a pervert
cause there is still a baby in your way
and it's perverted to mix kids and sex

mathewskarl
Women also rape, most women get away with it by blaming the child. A 37y/o woman had sex with a FOUR y/o boy and accused him of seducing her!
When men see exposed breasts, the baby does not enter their mind.
U are classifying yourself as a pervert because it is you who has deviated from the norm.
I agree, mixing babies & sex is wrong. OTOH you are making assumptions of men that are simply not typical. Just because UR gay doesn't give you some superiority over other men.

Julien16
I never said women don't rape
and I don't classify myself as a pervert, I just use my brain for thinking
oh and the fact I'm gay gives me superiority XD
it makes women feeling understood and attracted, cause I think like them, but still are a man
it's kinda funny to see guys envy me for that XD

oh and I wanted to tell you:
calling other people idiot because of there opinion doesn't make you more intelligent
and type your words out - adults like to read sentences and no short cuts






mathewskarl
Did you major in "Women's Studies", where misandry is dish of the day?
You think you understand women, but you don't. you don't understand hetero men and I doubt you understand yourself very well. You seem to think "bashing hetero men" = "thinking like women". How sad.
Trust me, I have no envy. I am married, have children and am very happy. What legacy will you leave on this planet other than hate speeches?








Out of the gloom a voice spake unto me. 'Smile and be happy, Things could get worse."
So I smiled and was happy, and behold... Things did get worse.

Re: censoring breastfeeding

Some hag whipped out her teat next to me on an airplane and started to nurse her kid. All the while chomping down a smelly sandwich...

I just think it's very rude... Just hook up to one of those suction pump things, and have bottles of breast milk chilled in a small cooler or something.

Re: censoring breastfeeding

I think it's sad that nursing mothers are expected to make special accommodations to try to avoid offending people, especially since we see a lot of unappealing and/or sexually explicit stuff all around us and on TV every day. If the mother wants to use a pump and bottles that is her choice but sometimes it is impractical, inadvisable or impossible to do so. Throwing a blanket over the baby's head or sitting on the public toilet to feed may be problematic for some also. Somewhere online I've seen a shirt with a picture of a playboy bunny that says, "Silly Rabbit, Tits are for Kids!" but I couldn't find it to post it here. The point is, feeding babies is the primary function of the breast, entertaining men is secondary.

Re: censoring breastfeeding

I'd agree with you there, myce, for the most part. But my wife managed to take a blanket with her all the time just in case our trip lasted longer than the bottles we'd prepared. It's called common sense.
Yes, boobs are designed primarily for feeding but you cannot simply switch off a natural urge to look. So if a mother goes out and flops herself out for the world to see, her own common sense should dictate that some people will look.

Re: censoring breastfeeding

Men!

Do you want to meet an intelligent woman some day?

My ex-wife breastfed my daughters for three years each. (She was really, really excellent at this "work...")

My daughters have genius I.Q.s, university scholarships $40k/year and while I might claim some dad DNA credit, the basic brain synapses were formed while they were nursing.....

My point?

Ask your next date, or prospective honey, how long she was breast fed!
