Comments on: Breastfeeding and the man who told me that I was appalling http://www.ovolina.com/lang/it/breastfeeding-and-the-man-who-told-me-that-i-was-appalling news and life with an Italian twist Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:54:20 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Leah Roberts http://www.ovolina.com/lang/it/breastfeeding-and-the-man-who-told-me-that-i-was-appalling/comment-page-1/#comment-50 Leah Roberts Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:31:50 +0000 http://www.ovolina.com/?p=145#comment-50 Maybe he didn't want you to see his name and rank! Because if he'd done that to me, and I'd seen it, he would definately have heard from his commanding officer! Just wait, someday he may have kids that need to be fed!

I wonder if he believed it himself or if he felt it was his duty to purport that others might be uncomfortable. Whatever his ridiculous reason, this man was wrong. This type of things infuriates me. I'm a breastfeeding mom and have been for all of my children. I've been discriminated against, but my opponents were family members. Insane, right? Anyway, good for you for checking out the laws. I wish folks would wake up and get a clue and start standing up against things that are truly concerning. Seriously, in this day and age, we have more things to be appalled by than a woman breastfeeding her child in public.

I don't know that I would have been able to respond, I would have been so taken aback that he'd even said anything. Which would probably be a good thing, cause I'd probably get mad and yell. And then the blanket would fall off MY shoulder (I did it the same way you do!) and then I'd be showing everything to him anyway. In fact, maybe he was appalled that you WEREN'T showing anything! :0) Gah! I don’t know that I would have been able to respond, I would have been so taken aback that he’d even said anything.

This man obviously had issues and frankly I'm glad to hear that he scuttled away like the little coward he was, rather than you having to engage in a breastfeeding debate with him.... he wasn't worth the breath. you were absolutely right Anita- this A$$H@l&# ’s problem was all about him and his particular brand of lunacy, and had absolutely nothing to do with you. that said- there’s almost no way to stop yourself from feeling badly when someone goes out of their way to say something hurtful, and I’m sorry that happened to you!

These are the same people that won't let their children watch a movie with nudity but are ok with letting them watch one that is full of violence. In Vancouver yesterday a woman who was shopping in clothing store and had to stop to feed her child was told store policy said she could not do it there. There was a huge backlash and now the woman is taking her case to the Human Rights Commission. The store also had to deal with a mob of breast feeding mothers today.
