Last summer this page visited a friend who a few months earlier, had given birth to an adorable baby boy. During that visit, the little guy started to get hungry, and Mom asked me if I was O.K. with her breastfeeding her newborn. This page said no problem because one, it's a baby, two, I had visited another friend who breastfed her son earlier that day, and three, I was in her house.
She shouldn't have had to ask if I'd mind - a baby is not some kind of chubby cute little cigarette that gives off chubby cute little puffs of second hand baby smoke. Why is it disturbing to watch someone breastfeeding? None of us may remember being on the receiving end of the nipple, but almost all of us were there in our early days.
The Granville H&M store had it coming. WestJet, you're next. Babies may not remember being treated like some kind of unnatural disturbance, but their parents will.

Totally agree. I was watching some porn on my laptop on the bus the other day and this woman started freaking out, getting all upset and what not.
I told her that hey, people making love is the most natural thing in the world and hey, it could eventually lead to that other natural event, breastfeeding! I was shocked she couldn't understand my point of view.
So she pulls her young daughter away from the seat next to me and starts getting all huffy about "What's appropriate...". I cut her off and put that neanderthal back in her place by telling her that she needs to get with the times and that sex is a perfectly natural act between two people and that maybe in the future, she could maybe choose you know, TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY! At least until she's evolved enough to deal with it!
I'm really glad that you and others are so supportive of natural acts performed in public.
Here's hoping you'll turn up for our "People Loving Porn Protest" at a local elementary school playground near you.
Keep up the good work!
