Breast Double Standards

Ok, I'm sick of it.

I'm a woman

Yes breastfeeding is natural, but so is taking a crap and having sex and you don't see people complaining when they can't do that in public, and yet we're suppose to bend over backwards and give these woman special rooms to do it in, or they just freakin do it wherever they want and we're suppose to "understand".

Its natural, yes, but they get bent out of shape if you look at them when they do it, they get bent out of shape if they give you a room to do it in that they don't approve of, and they get bent out of shape if everyone doesn't freakin bend over backwards and do what they say.

I don't want that happening at the table next to me when I'm trying to eat, I don't want to see it when I'm drinking a coffee, I don't want it near me at all! What about my rights not to see that?

We had yet another case of "breastfeeding rights" at a Victoria's Secret (of all places): Breastfeeding Protest

The best quote ever is from the woman who was offered a bathroom (because all of the dressing rooms were full) which she described as disgusting, and led a breast-feeding protest in front of the store (oh GAWD!)

She says (and I quote) "the nurse-in was meant to make people aware that breasts are not obscene."

Not obscene? Then why was MTV and ABC fined for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"? Why is it that women who work at Hooters (and don't show their breasts) or who wear skimpy clothing, or bathing suits are "demeaned and exploited"?

If breasts aren't obscene, then on a hot day I should be able to run around without a shirt like men do... hey that's natural, we aren't born with clothes!

I'm so sick of women using this double standard to get their way. Breastfeeding is natural, breasts aren't obscene, but don't look at us when we do it, don't expose your breasts for anything other than breastfeeding, and give us what we want or we'll blackmail you by plunking our asses down and breastfeeding our kids.

Next time I hear of one of these protests, I think I'll go pee in front of them. Its natural too, where are my pee rights?
