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.

A recent story in the news, over here, highlighted the problem of how many mothers at work are discriminated. Article here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/gender/story/0,,2023867,00.html).

In London, everyone has a story of witnessing a pregnant mother get into a bus or train and not be offered a seat. People look up, then go back to their books or newspapers.
