Uhm... No. What gives a baby the best start in life is a trust fund.

Because of the noisy, smelly, drooling homunculus, covered in its own filth, obscuring the best part of the breast.

Yeah, sure. Because children know best what they need...

Meh. I'd much prefer witnessing a woman breastfeeding, than - say - a man...

There is no debate, there are just assholes living in the dark ages. Babies need to eat when they need to eat. Fuck any asshole who cant handle it.

Not a problem for me. Little buggers want to eat. It kinda reminds me to go grab something to eat.

If this is black propaganda against public breast feeding it is obviously doomed to fail.

And who says that only babies should be breastfed in public? I think a woman should be allowed to make the most of her potential as a food-source...

I don't really have strong feelings about it one way or another.
On one hand, a woman can easily cover herself up with a blanket or something while breastfeeding, so as not to be openly exposing their breast to everyone.
On the other, it's just a breast and, at least here in the US, we're way too uptight about nudity and sex. It's kinda like, who cares?
A baby's gotta eat when a baby's gotta eat, so I wouldn't really say we can tell women NOT to do it. I just don't see what's so hard about covering up a bit. I also don't care about seeing a breast if a woman decides not to cover up. I guess I don't really give a crap either way.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

I alway covered myself, but some people still gave me dirty looks. I think it’s fine and a woman can cover herself or not and it shouldn’t matter. I mean...it’s fucking hot, who wants to be under a blanket? My comfort level says 3 is the oldest acceptable age to breastfeed, but some people would disagree with me. Tbh, I don’t really care how, when, where, or for how long other women choose to breastfeed their kids. I have my kids to worry about and they can worry about theirs.

Bolding mine. If only they would, the world would be a little bit better place.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
