Eyeful of breast-feeding mom sparks outrage
Magazine cover blasted by public squeamish over sight of nursing breast

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14065706/

"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine," one person wrote. "I immediately turned the magazine face down," wrote another. "Gross," said a third.


"I shredded it," said Gayle Ash, of Belton, Texas, in a telephone interview. "A breast is a breast — it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that."

"I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see."



God help us when the most natural thing in the world becomes offensive.

3. "I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't..
"...want to see."

Like there's a breast her husband or son wouldn't want to see.

7. But they are perfectly comfortable exposing what morons (moran)
they are.

Personally I would rather see an exposed body of any sort than have this type of bigotry and hatred foisted on me.

12. What in the world do these morons think breasts are for??
Breast feeding a baby is the most beautiful, natural act that a woman can do. Sure they're sexual, but primarily women have breasts to feed their babies.

These pretentious pricks are always projecting.

Imagine. Anatomical parts doing what they are designed to do.........

28. It almost looks like
the side of an elbow or arm bent upward. That was my first thought at seeing the picture, anyway.

25. At my church, women breastfeed, and nobody says anything.
Most people don't care, and those who do care wouldn't dare say anything.

29. I think it's a lovely picture...
Edited on Thu Jul-27-06 10:47 PM by TwoSparkles
When I look at the picture, I see a sweet infant looking into her mother's eyes.

The breast really is secondary.

I love this picture. It shows the amazing bond between mother and child. The breasts in this picture are not sexual. This is ridiculous.

The mothers who read this magazine need to examine their own bizarre reaction to a woman's body. After all, the women reading this magazine, presumably have babies/young children. Why would they see this picture and get so hoity toity?

Weird.

30. Gee, I wonder what these folks
would think of this:


And as for "'I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see.'," trust me on this one: there are no straight guys that see a breast they don't want to see. I know I certainly never have. ;-)

31. Did I land in 1955 or something?
OOOOH, SHIT THE BED IT'S A BREAST!!! NOW WE'RE ALL GONNA GET BONERS!!!11!!!

How fucking stupid. It's a nursing mom and not sexual. I think it says far more about the person's problems of thinking a cover of a nursing baby is "sexual" and "shocking". Normal people stopped being shocked or aroused at seeing bare breasts around 1989.

My wife is breastfeeding now. I love the response of one woman that her husband didn't want her breastfeeding in public because he didn't want other people to see her breast. Here's some advice, lady. Your husband is an asshole. That'll be all.
