Mum pointed me at this in a town near her; some total loser had posted a photo of a mum breastfeeding her child in public and labelled it 'tramp'. Very properly annoyed, the mum organized a mass breastfeeding in the market square.

The hypocrisy surrounding breastfeeding in public coupled with things like the Sun's page 3 girl (if they still do that) never ceases to enrage me.

Breasts are sources of sexual pleasure for both genders, yes, but their primary function is to suckle the young. Using them for what they're intended is appropriate in any setting with any audience. I breastfed both my babies in public. I was never criticized or stared at in anything but an 'aww, how cute' way. Guess I was lucky.
