Breastfeeding a societal hypocrisy?

Question

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. It has been proven that mother's milk is better for the baby. Specially in virus and germ fighting abilities. And it has shown to forge a special bond between child and mother. Yet when you see a woman breastfeed in public or semipublic, you have complainers. And those commenting under their breath as to why she don;t retire to her car to do that. Or excuse herself to the ladies room, maybe cover up with a wrap. I wondered, why? Im many cultures it is no big deal. After all, it IS natural for a mother and baby to do. I figured, it is the chance that open exposed nipple would be seen. As much as society and women specially, who obsess over breast; those who are AA cups feel like theyhave "boy bodies", those with B cups want more, those with DD or Es want less because they feel too many people stare.

Answer 1

This is a cultural response to our on repressed sexuality, we see this woman as a sex object, just because there is a baby attached to that breast does not mean that the person does not perceive the breast as a sexual object any more. Because in United Statesian society this arousal is considered tabu it provokes a negative reaction. It is not the breastfeeding that is the problem, is our reactions to it.
