ROFLOL!!!!
My word, that was funny! I can't wait to pass it on!
One of us mentioned something about not liking the joke (which is fine, not
everyone likes the same type of humor) and also said we should be
professional. OK, I see your point, but I kind of relate this to Drs on the
front lines doing meatball surgery joking with each other to ease the
tension. SOme might say the joking is unprofessional, but I say (as do
others) that the joking keeps us going. It helps us put things back in
perspective. We get so bogged down with all the stupid reasons to "Not" BF
that to put those dumb reasons into a different light (using penis size, tee
hee!) makes you see how stupid those reasons really are. I think that humor
is a great way to get a point across. Besides, we are a private (more or
less) group, and we need some funnies too!
SOmeone else (sorry don't remember who) also wondered why the preocupation
with the male anatomy. I have my own thought on that one...Think about
it...society is preoccupied with the woman's breast being a sexual object
used only for male pleasure and not for its original purpose (to feed a
baby). THus, women are looked at as sexual objects and not as nurturers
(sp?) for their young. Society places a great value on the "looks" and
"proportions" of the female breast, and its many uses as a sexual plaything
(or selling tool). So let's turn it around and put it back in the laps of
society. Let's use the male anatomy (which everyone knows is ONLY for the
pleasure of women, and not good for any other natural function) and treat it
as society treats the breast. Speaking of the breast: If it is too large it
is no good. If it is too small it is no good. If the nipples are the
"wrong" size (what is the "right" size???) they will not function and are
therefore no good. If they are just the right size (again, what is the
right size??) they are worth money but please don't "ruin" them by BF,
you'll make them sag! If the breast has inverted/flat/pointy/large/small
nipples, you can't BF with them. If there is too much fat in the breast
then you obviously can't BF...the list goes on and on. So lets just put all
that garbage onto the male anatomy : the Penis (AKA "The Thing") and we see
just how silly society is being. Now I have known men with amazingly small
penises (the kind you don't feel when having sex...), and yet, they end up
(if they have good self esteems and a great wife) haveing perfectly
functional sex lives and their wives are happy. Men with amazingly large
penises...same thing. Men with the "right" length (what is "right"?) and
the right diameter (what is "right")... all can have perfectly happy sex
lives. It is all about perspective, and quite frankly, I think our society
(the developed world, in general since that is all I know about) tends to
lack proper perspective when it comes to women and babies and the purpose of
the breast.
Sorry, off this soapbox...
I went to the state fair the other night. I was BF Patrick on a bench when
a woman sat down next to me, saw what I was "doing" and frankly told me I
should be doing "THAT"" in the bathroom. I saw she was eating a corndog and
fries and asked her if she would care to join me in the bathroom...we could
each sit on a toilet and chat while I fed PJ and she ate. She said that was
disgusting (her eating her food in the bathroom). I told her so was her
comment about me BF in the bathroom. I said all of this with a smile and
while she got up and left in disgust, the gal next to me burst out laughing!
She said she would have to remember that comeback with her next baby!
Hugs to all!
