NIP Article - reader's comments
| Sun, 09-09-2007 - 10:53pm |
Here's an seemingly innocent article on a nurse-in at an Applebees. However, if you read the reader comments...boy oh boy! Talk about some ignorant remarks. One of them even equated NIP to smoking! Unbelievable. I thought it would be a good thing to discuss on here, especially since our resident FF/anti-NIP'ers are feeling underrepresented.

BF'ers, be prepared to be astounded.

Don't feel bad, at the end of my pregnancy I had dreams I was nursing my dog.

"I do not think that she is advertizing it although I could be wrong.
"So, let me try again, hypothetically, if their were a religion/culture in the U.S. that expected women to cover their ears, and you found yourself on an elevator or out to dinner, and the people from the other religion/culture were obviously uncomfortable with your ears showing, would you cover them? Why or why not?"
@@ Yeah, that analogy is sooo much more apt than the Islam one.
As far as I know, there are two sexually charged areas of a womans body according to North American culture. The genitals and the breasts, or in more modern terms, anything covered by a bikini. Ears do not fit that description. Ears are not sexualized in general terms. It would be extremely difficult or perhaps impossible to perform a sexual act with ones ears. (I can't believe I actually had to type that). So if there were a hypothetical sub culture with an aversion to ears, they are SOL.
Both breasts and genitals are dual purpose organs....you can feed a baby w/breasts and you can birth a baby w/genitals....both serve sexual purposes as well. Why is it that you(NIPers in general)
" but would balk(I hope!) at exposing your genitals to give birth in public?"
As a general, I'll agree with you.
