Breast Mystery

Yesterday, on Bank station's busy platform, a baby begins to cry. The mother, to my right, picks up the baby, sits down, and gives her tit to the baby for a feed. Incongruous looks from some commuters (it doesn't bother me).

To my left, a 17-year-old blonde builder opens his copy of The Sun, right on the page 3 girl, and stares at her breasts as if his life depends on it.

Welcome to my world :-/

What gets me particularly is that over Christmas The Sun ran a "fashion" article predicting breastfeeding in public would be "out" this year, and to put it away. It was written by a woman as well.

Hah... classic. Well, I guess it's written largely by reptiles so you can't expect them to be keen on lactation.

Yeah, they'd probably prefer a baby to cry as it helps them locate their prey better!
