what if I said: "seeing people with four and five year old children running around and screaming and throwing their food on the floor bothers me, so keep your kids out of my dining experience and eat at home (or in the bathroom) until your child is 12", or "the color red really makes me sick to my stomach, so anyone wearing red clothes should have to eat in the bathroom"? none of that would fly, sometimes things happen in public places that make us uncomfortable but I kind of have to say: TOO BAD that's why they call it PUBLIC, if you want to moniter and filter out what you see and what you do and how you feel all the time, stay on your property where it's private; that's why it's called PRIVATE. we're not talking about sex on the street, we're not talking about anything sexual at all (which is where this uncomfortablity stems from). When I examine why this would make me uncomfortable I am confronted only with sexual and nudity social norms that teach me that the human body is something to keep covered and shameful. I've seen breastfeeding and it's not noisy, noticable, or gross. Be discreet ladies, and breastfeed where you will. I respect everyone's opinion on this, this is just mine.
