Breast feeding

[purus]

A woman should be allowed to breast feed in public. A 27 year old woman was kicked off of a flight from Burlington to NYC because she refused to cover up with a blanket when she was breast feeding. Why are people offended by a breast feeding mother?

So I learned this week that Mormons have special underwear that they wear below all their clothing. The must wear it all the time. It goes almost to their elbows and knees Some apparently even wear it while they have sex - and really righteous members of the church brag about how they've never even seen their wives naked (even though they have many children). I personally find this creepy - I imagine trying to have sex with someone while we're both in these union suits... like trying not to really touch each other during... I don't know, to me thats more perverse than anything else I can imagine.

Anyway, I think its mostly that people are afraid of their sexuality and nudity in any form is the ultimate symbol of that... I'm sure it was some repressed woman that threw the shit fit about it.... which is partially society's fault because it represses female sexuality.
