Breastfeeding mother kicked off plane, what would you do?
- Thread starter M&M's Mommy
- Start date
This kind of stuff infuriates me! 
I myself am a breastfeeding mother. When are people going to grow up about the issue. If formula was never invented, it would be the only way to feed babies. It's particularly helpful to nurse babies on air planes because it helps keep their ears from popping on take off. I swear, we live in such a prude and tempermental society. I just don't understand what is so offensive to some people. It's the most nutritious method of feeding babies and don't even start the argument on the baby being 22 months old! I plan on nursing my daughter until she's two. In fact, we are the only country in the world that stops nursing as early as we do.
Rant over.

Really buddy, quit while you're ahead. I'm well aware of what contraction's are etc. It appears you don't have quite the grasp on the English language you think you do. I gave you a chance to go over it again, but it's obvious now that you'll never make the connection, so I"ll do it for you.
your quote:
So in the first sentece It's indecent exposure- is refering to breast feeding correct? Since that's what the entire thread is about, I think this logic is of the simple variety you can appreciate.
So then in the second sentence you are substituting it to mean the punishment for indecent exposure?? and then your sentence would go on to say, the punishment for indecent exposure is no different than if I were getting a blowjob in the back row..... Indecent exposure is far too kin to the stuff you see late at night...
Is that what you're trying to get us to believe? If it is, you're high school english teacher would be very disappointed.
You use It's to represent breast feeding, this entire thread is about breast feeding, yet you want us to believe that suddenly means punishment for indecent exposure??
Your concept of law isn't much better. Airlines aren't goverened as personal property such as your yard and my yard. your view is very short sighted.
The incident happened in Vermont, one of the states that allow nursing mothers to breast feed in ANY PUBLIC or PRIVATE location.
Delta is based in Georgia, Georgia law would really have anything to say about it, but they also allow breastfeeding in any public or private location.
Your arguments are weak, and your logic very shortsighted and narrow.
Just accept the fact that you're a Texan with an unhealthy fear of boobs and lacking the self control to look out the window, maybe you could dream about your fantasy in the back row. and i just remembered you remind me of a quote made popluar in two movies.

I cant figure out what the problem is. I breast fed both of my children. I breast fed my daughter on a plane, no one knew, it was discreet. you place the light blanket or sheet over your shoulder and no one sees a thing so what in the world is the big deal? I guess everyone on the plane would much rather a nerve racking bawling baby.
LOL, bubbatd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guess I don't get the argument here. nobody is saying that breastfeeding isn't perfectly natural. women do it in public all the time. BUT, as with everything in life sometimes you have to be considerate of those that don't think exactly like you. so maybe someone wasn't comfortable...that doesn't make them a monster. all they asked her to do was cover up a bit. I don't think that is unreasonable no matter how natural I think breastfeeding is. SHE overreacted to the situation. sounds to me like someone that thinks the planet revolves around them, and their viewpoint of life only. it doesn't, and big deal if you have to bend a little sometimes. good grief. seems silly to me to have such a ruckus over it. and for goodness sakes, you don't smother the baby with a light cloth loosely covering. my last point.......sorry, but some boobs are just plain ugly and I don't want to see them. LOL
oh Debi... I agree about some boobs being ugly. I have to look at boobs all the time at work and let me be the first to say that some of them are down right scary looking :yikes:
Here's a little lesson on BOOBS. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some resemble pancakes, while others resemble oranges or perhaps cantelopes. I guess you could even say some resemble basket balls... but I do not recommend dribbling with them. Some are perky, some are dangling around their knees. Some have areolas the size of pepperoni's and others the size of a slice of salami. Some have nipples that stand at attention while others have ones that crawl back up in their boob to never see the light of day. Some are soft and squishy and bang a right and left when you lay down and you suddenly notice they are under your armpits... while others stay firmly planted on the front and never move. Some have their nipples pointing outward in front of them while others point toward their feet.
Boobs are just boobs. They serve several purposes. They are our built in flotation devices. Our cushions when we lay on our belly. They substitute for a pillow for your hubby or children. I suppose they could be considered a weapon if your target stood too close and you twisted from right to left really fast letting those pendulous breasticles swing around uncontrollably smacking your target silly.
They provide excitement to our hubby during foreplay. But despite the fact that most men think our boobs were created for their pleasure and gawking.... the number one reason we have boobs is because God made us self equipped to be able to provide nourishment to our babies.
They provide nourishment for our babies as well as pacify and soothe them.

I agree, Nancy. and I do think breastfeeding is perfectly natural. all I meant was so are feet........and I don't want to see most people's feet, either. LOL! not that I have a problem with feet, just prefer them covered. do I freak out if I see them...nah. do I think it's a crime if someone whips one out...nah. but if a restaurant prefers you wear shoes, I don't have a problem with that either. simple little rules that don't bear argument.

I LOVE Boobs.
I love MY boobs. I am proud of my boobs, and I couldn't care less who saw them to be honest. And they aint small.
I wouldn't whip them out on the street (unless pushed LOL (joke) ), but I have no worries about getting them out when I need to (bra shopping - I don't care if the assistant sees them), getting undresses etc etc etc.
And if I had a child I would have NOOOO worries about feeding MY baby with MY boobs.
If you don't like MY body, that is YOUR problem not mine.
I don't ask all you vile, ugly people to walk round with a bag on your head to stop offending my eyes do I? No - I accept you warts and all.
Get over it people - start living life with less worries
I walked through the forest naked one summer, because I could - I highly recommend you folk get in touch with your nakedness - it is free, liberating and LOVELY.
I think people are worried about associating BOOBS and nakedness with SEX.
Yes, they ARE sexy, but they are also built in BABY FEEDERS - ahhh the wonders of nature
Nothing to be prudish about - we left the dark ages years ago.

Oh, and the only reason I haven't sunbathed topless yet is because my dad and bro were there and I do find THAT a little weird... but probably will at some point - I may aswell
