A Surprisingly Sane Blog

Every time I see my maiden name in the search term part of my stats page, I always have to wonder if it’s an ex-boyfriend.

*shivers*

I haven’t had many, but one or two of them were really disgusting.  Not the ones I ended on decent terms with.  They were nice enough, just the wrong guys for me.  It’s the ones that didn’t end gracefully that gross me out.

They don’t really need to know anything about my life, but hey, I guess that’s what I get for having a public blog.  Whatever.

Doesn’t make it less creepy.

In true Surprisingly Sane fashion, I am having one of those damn, I hate [insert random object of my dislike here] days.

Today’s topic?

As always, your answer is anonymous, even to me.

People who think breastfeeding in public is vulgar piss me off in ways I can’t even begin to describe.

Rarely do I feel black or white on an issue, but this is one area in which I will be admit to being a close-minded bitch.  I think moms shouldn’t be forced to “cover up” while they do it.  Period.  Don’t like it?  Don’t watch.

I fail to understand how feeding a baby the way nature and God intended is something that needs to be hidden.  It doesn’t make sense to me, and no amount of debate has ever wavered my position on this topic.

I don’t consider breasts to be dirty or vulgar or sexual in any way, shape, or form when they’re being used to nourish our children.  Did I flaunt them and make a big scene while nursing in public?  No- I was discreet and usually did cover up while doing it.  But I think it’s downright stupid that the reason I did it was because society taught me it was something natural that I had to be ashamed about.

I mean, come on, it’s not like we’re masturbating in public when we’re breastfeeding.  We’re feeding our babies, and there’s nothing disgusting about that.
