I hope that fitting room is Transgender friendly. I wouldn't want this to become a serious issue.
It annoys me when women want a sticky gold star, round of applause and the right to make other women feel shit for not breastfeeding. And yep, it annoys me when it IS done as some kind of "woo hoo look at me tell me I'm fabulous cos I'm doing it" show demanding public approval - which it's perfectly possible to be discrete about things and actually consider that it does make some people feel uncomfortable so a bit of discretion and mutual consideration rather than baps out and bugger the rest of the world for I R MUMMYZILLA!
Can start world war three on most mommy websites by mentioning bottle feeding - they immediately jump into action at the potential for some one-upwomanship about it all. Brings out the worst in women trying to run others down for anything and everything (had my fucking idiot cousin trying that crap on me the other day - the one who chain smoked and drank like a fish all the way through her pregnancy trying to make out I'll be a shit mother cos I didn't sit and read to my bump every night... like yeah, sitting reading the fucking Twilight saga which is the only shit she ever reads is going to do anything other than traumatise the shit outta a foetus).
But yep, incredibly low tolerance for the militant tit mafia. Do it cos you want to, do it cos it's bloody easier or better or whatever - but quit being the police on everyone else in the entire planet - and no, bringing your baby into a job interview to breastfeed it (like someone on another site was proposing to do the other day) is NOT a good idea to win influence on your prospective employers (and they couldn't for the life of them see how doing this, then crying discrimination if they didn't get the job was a tad unreasonable and liable to make them look utterly fucking bonkers)
Please for the love of god people learn the correct spelling is "discreet." I've seen that spelling error at least half a dozen times in this thread and it makes me want to scratch my eyeballs out.
I'll let you start the Facebook page
I was just trying to make a funny, no need to read all into it.
What is it about the internet that makes people feel so wronged by the results of procreation
what is it about brown people that makes them feel so wronged by the results of great white men

babies are such attention whores
And there ARE some right fucking obnoxious attention whores out there who are so desperate for someone to pat them on the head and tell them they're fucking awesome. I've had friends whose lives were made hellish by people tutting cos they had to bottle feed their babies by the fucking tit-mafia. And usually - they're the sort who would roll right into the tits-out protests like this one.
They're also the ones who get really really hilariously upset if you criticise their choice of pushchair - always amusing.
And yep I plan to breast feed - not for brownie points but because if the option is there NOT to be fiddling around making up bottles at 4am I'm bloody well going to hope I can take it - but doing it to prove fucking points and for attention pisses me off.
Knew this would come in handy some day.
i don't understand the equating breast feeding to sex.
