Amy asks for responses about public breastfeeding.
Dear Amy: I was glad to see someone else write to you mentioning how inappropriate it is for women to breast-feed in public.Women use the excuse that it is "natural," but many bodily functions are natural and we don't care to watch people doing these other "natural" things.Women also now seem to have the attitude that pregnancy should be "celebrated" with tight clothes and bare bellies. The Hollywood crowd is most at fault. Sorry, mothers-to-be, but I think you look tacky.- Bugged in Boston
Dear Bugged: I wonder what it is about the sight of breast-feeding or pregnant women that makes some people so uncomfortable. Women have babies. Then they feed said babies. I really don't understand what it is about that simple fact of life that is so offensive.
