I was just watching The Morning Show on 7 & there was a pretty interesting discussion.
This topic came up of course, it’d be weird if I suddenly thought about it.
So, there was guy who complained through the newspaper saying that he was in a café having tea, and then this woman came along, it was all fine until she started breastfeeding. he commented that it grossed him out and told her to be more sensible to go to a parents room to do it or just go somewhere else.
There goes the conflict.
The Morning Show invited this really pretty commentator to comment on that topic. She mentioned that HE should be sensible to move away if he wasn’t comfortable with it. Quoting that “you’ve seen more gigantic boobs on Bondi Beach topless and even more cleavages on Hollywood carpets. so what’s the difference seeing one that is natural?”
Well, I totally agree with her. Men these days don’t mind seeing breasts anywhere, even on sites. So why complain about one that is perfectly harmless? Its just breastfeeding to a child. I find it is just a natural process. And what if it really hurts and what if the baby needs it there and then? and what if she can’t move because her food is coming and she has other children to take care of? Inconsiderate much. “Move mate’, you should be the one moving, not her..”
But then there’s another part to the argument. A man commentator said that it is a natural thing for men to look at boobs and they want to look at them. Weird enough I agree to that. Men are born that way unfortunately. But still, it doesn’t give them the rights to complain about breastfeeding right?
Well, that man mentioned that it is just a sexual thing when encountered with breasts. And suddenly out pops the baby out of nowhere and it just ruins the whole sexual vibe or whatever. I’m not laughing, I find it rather interesting to see the different views.
I’m not sure who I agree with. But I’m pretty sure that it isn’t the woman’s fault for breastfeeding in public. So there you go. I agree both ways but I think its just sensible that if you don’t like the sight of it, move? or don’t look. Just the same when encountered with lovey dovey couples. All the PDA and stuff, I guess people can stare, or if you’re not comfortable with it, look away and move away. That’s all.
…
Then, there’s another issue that popped out. About sperm donation. There’s a ‘dad’ that wants to claim his son/daughter back. Apparently he donated his sperm to this woman and told her that he would want to see his child some time, and she allowed. but it continued for 3 years and he is often there, probably 3 days a week? and when she suddenly said no to child visiting, he wanted custody.
Its pure insanity. I think the whole part of sperm donation is that you donate anonymously. Right? I don’t particularly agree with sperm donating but even by saying so, its just not reasonable to suddenly pop out and say “hey, that’s my kid. I want him/her back.”.
…
The Morning Show can be a pretty interesting show to watch, especially with quite significant topics and discussion. What bores me is the promoting of products and advertisements. But for the discussions, it is not bad at all. :)
