three reasons why I'm not attending the local PRIDE activities

That's the thing, though, because that's not all you are saying. You're shaming her for breastfeeding her own child by pointing out that perverts will watch her. You put the onus of perversion on her, as if it's her fault.

I'm not shaming anyone, you're blaming me for pointing out facts.

Except that you are. You're blaming a woman for breastfeeding in public, rather than the pervert who finds it to be a sexual act. You're warning her for his actions, just as a fundamentalist warns a woman wearing a short skirt that if she gets raped, it's because of what she wore. You're putting the blame on her, and not the asshole who can't keep their eyes or hands to themselves.

I'm not warning anyone, I'm making a statement and it's nowhere near the same as saying a girl getting raped did it to herself because she's wearing scantily clothing.

How about perverts that don't need exposed skin, but have really good imaginations?
How do you stop them?
Burkas?
A hamster bubble?

How do you stop any of it? Why am I to blame because some men are perverts?

I thought you were the smartest man on Earth, and you live off air and sunshine, and your body produces no waste, and all other humans are made of poo compared to you.
If you can't solve mankind's problems, who can?

You're using the same mindset. If a woman is breastfeeding, why are you getting involved in the first place? Do you honestly think women don't know there are perverts who twist everything they do into something sexual?

As much as you may think I'm a god, I am but a mere mortal.

I haven't gotten involved. I've seen a total of two or three women breastfeeding in public and every time looked away and let them be.

Of the ass?

Yet you are involved. You offered your opinion. I'm not saying you can't, just that you have to be aware that you are stepping in and speaking your mind on an issue of which you have no personal stake, and on an issue women have had to deal with from jackass legislators who want to criminalize the feeding of their child because they're too insecure to realize boobs aren't just (or primarily) for sexual play.

Ding, ding, ding!

You're on the right track, now you just need to edge on over the finish line and connect those dots. It'll be good practice for your reading comprehension part of the SATs this year!

Well, if you're going to lob insults then I'm no longer going to reply with my honest opinion.

If you lie when you're insulted, what does that mean when so many people insult you all of the time, every day on this board?

What have I lied about, enlighten me?

You re already espoused your "honest opinion" that despite some guys being creeps who objectify women whether they're fully naked or fully covered in a burqa that women ought to be aware that they're gonna get attention from creeps for the entirely non-sexusl act of breastfeeding that shows about as much skin as the typical bikini at the beach.

How the fuck is that *not* enabling the creep culture?

Fuck that.

It's a question that follows a line of logic. You said that if @Anna was going to lob insults, then you weren't going to reply with your honest opinion. The follow-through on that indicates that when someone insults you, you don't reply with your honest opinion. If that is so, and one considers how many times a day you are insulted on this board, then what would that mean when regarding your posts?

Yes you can help it. Call out the creeps, the pervs. Shame them, not their targets. Support women and their right to express themselves and their choice of wardrobe, of their right to breastfeed.

Shut. Up.

If some woman's squalling brat needs to suck a tittie because this woman hasn't yet joined the 21st century by carrying a bottle with formula on her, then the woman can get her ass up and carry the brat into the women's restroom and whip out the tittie there and let the kid go to town.

The woman doesn't whip the tittie out in the middle of the restaurant for every underage child and quivering pervert to gawk at.

Funny thing about that is when women do bottlefeed, they get shamed for daring to use formula. Cuz it's not like people adopt children or breasts don't produce enough milk or Mom may be on PPD medication that will allow her to not strangle the baby.

Can't win either way.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sawk. Eet.

No, you shut up. Clearly you can't keep your need to readjust your pants at bay whenever a woman uses her breast for its intended biological function, like every mammal outside of humans, and so would prefer to inconvenience her and her child for your precious sensitivities. Sir, you are a product of why our society is faltering, your 'Christian' views an indictment against Christianity, and, if you are a mental health counselor as you claim, a disgrace to the mental health profession.
Sir, I bite my thumb at thee. Suck it up, Buttercup.

Right.....

If anyone's getting off on the sight of a tit when there's a screaming infant head chomping on it and probably milk leakage, then we should pity them and at least stump up for some underwear catalogues so they have halfway decent wank material.

I hear Mormon 'holy' underwear is a fetish these days

Uh-oh... better keep the kids away from the Peachtree Road Race.
