Go ahead and whip your titty out to feed your baby. Where I'm from, they pull titties out for beads.

(28,117 posts)That's a rather raunchy, disrespectful way of expressing it. When I was nursing in public, I never just "whipped" my titties out. Nursing moms aren't usually strippers.
It makes for a cute joke though. 😉
I just don't like giving the anti-nursing, uptight, puritanical crowd anymore potential fodder.

(4,657 posts)and I wouldn't have been allowed to do it in public. Now you wouldn't want to be nearby if this old lady whipped out her tits!
And that's as naughty as I'll ever get. I think I'm emboldened by some of the awful posts here in the lounge. HA
Isn't that exactly what they want? Treating it as "raunchy" or in any way wrong? The only way to defend against the anti-nursing people is to make it clear that there's nothing wrong with a woman's body. Covered or uncovered. And it's not innately sexual to show breasts.
I believe the problem is not women. It's men. It's the same thing with the whole "well she was wearing a very sexy outfit" bullcrap. We (men) literally can't control our thoughts and so we make women feel bad about things that they shouldn't feel bad about. We can't control ourselves so we try to control women.
Women need to make it clear that they will not be controlled. And men need to learn that it's our defect, not a woman's.

they are possibly the same jerks who oppose public breastfeeding. FUCK THEM!
