Breast Mystery

[dotinthesky]

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.

When my sister picked me up at the airport there was a woman openly breastfeeding her child, and not only did my sister express disgust on the scene but for days afterward. She just could not get over it.

It didn't bother me at all!

That's strange, considering your sister is a mother!

I know! Her issue with it was that she didn't want to see the breast. She thought the woman should have worn a blanket to hide it. My sister doesn't breastfeed in public at all, though, even with a blanket. It embarrasses her, so that is probably what the issue is. She wouldn't do it herself and she can't understand why anyone else would feel comfortable enough to.
