But what is disrespectful about a freakin' boob? What did boobs ever do to you? If you don't like it so much, look away.

Gosh, no one is asking you to stare.

But thank you for proving my point!!! How dramatic is that, right?


Yeah, I guess I missed the lynch mobs and religious zealots scrambling to cover up women's breasts, since you know, asking for someone to cover up equates to that in your mind.

Have you ever seen someone like Mama June breastfeed? No one wants to see that.

Then don't look.

Do you think people want to see women like Mama June in short-shorts or a bikini? Of course not, but she can wear whatever the heck she wants because it's not her problem to make people like you comfortable with her body.

If her body offends you so much, remove yourself from the situation or look at something more pleasurable.

You're right, she has every right to wear a bikini. That does not, however, give her immunity from social norms and/or disapproving bystanders...nor does it give her the right to tell them how they "should" feel about it.

Listen, if you want to give my boobs some dirty looks, go right ahead. But it doesn't give you the right to harass/confront me for it.

Re-read the post. I was referencing manners and then verbiage like "crimes against humanity" started getting thrown around. As in, "people act like its a crime against humanity to breastfeed in public". gross exaggeration.
