Why is there any controversy? Nursing a child as nature intended has been tainted by the Euro-American patriarchy and their obsession with the mammaries. One sees it here with the posting of women's mammaries on various sexy groups. But nursing is controversial?
When I was in Mexico, indigenous women would nurse their babies under a sarape`. Very private, but in a public space, as they attended their wares for sale. We now have nursing stations in large venues. I empathize with your dismay at public display of everything. I get that folks who could never be out about their particular predilection can do that now, & that is the price we pay for freedom to express ones-self. Vulgarity is the zeitgeist. Not a fan. I have a strong stomach from having had a life. How as something so natural, so bonding of a little life to its source become something repelling? I believe the sexualization by straight Euro American men have perverted a biological nutritional source, the breast. They ruin everything for me. As I never know my place. Altho I am straight, I am better off without a man in my life. And I remain child free by CHOICE.
