let's talk breastfeeding
Steven- make sure you fact check this before commenting . . .

A Georgia woman was told to “cover up and go away” when she started breastfeeding her newborn child during a church service. The pastor ordered Nirvana Jennette to feed her baby in the bathroom, and when she objected he told her that breastfeeding is lewd and compared her to a stripper.
BrianD- yes there is a picture of her.

Its a church for wayward bikers, so he probably has more experience than most.
she kinda looks like a stripper.
I've even had women ask me to photograph them while breast feeding their babies, to add to the memory (mammary?) books along with the newborn pics, maternity pics, etc.
So I think what happened to common courtesy and manners is that they are no longer held in common.
Then again, I haven't gone to church other than for weddings or funerals since I was 8 years old, so what would I know?
Yeah, still the same thing. I have an 8-month old, so I have to deal with the boobs coming out in any clime or place, anytime and anywhere.
Honestly though, if this is your cause du jour, join the peace corps or something, because you definitely have first world problems.
These statements are contradictory. The fact that one knows the action will be offensive is what makes it a statement.
Rather, breastfeeding was/is seen to be something to be encouraged (which makes all sorts of sense from a health standpoint, and for poor women, economically); part of that encouragement is to model the behavior you want to see in the world.
Personally, I really can't understand why anyone would be offended by it.
offensive to bigots doesn't count.
Sometimes though it is reassuring that I have lived long enough to see backlash to the civil rights and equal rights movement of my childhood.
YOU have to deal with it?
Now THAT's a devoted father!
Not to mention a biological anomaly.
It's like making a statement by putting your arm on the back of the pew. If the seat next to you is empty, so what? If the preacher's hot, 18 year-old daughter is sitting there with your arm now around her - brother, you made a statment. Your wife will have a statement of her own when you get home.
I'm guessing an image like this isn't hanging in the church.
Do bikers "make it rain" harder than fake rich guys in Newport Beach?
I agree. Its hard work sometimes, but I'm doing ok.
Now you guys know why I have such a man-crush. Sherbie's got a nice set of A cups. You can push 'em together and they almost touch.

But also she was going to church, a event you plan for, you don't think she couldn't pump out a few squirts into a bottle before she left?
