But her right to feed her child doesn't trump my right to not want to see it.BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-1309093950835015932015-01-20T07:41:52.526-05:002015-01-20T07:41:52.526-05:00Agreed!

I also don't really care that she chooses to breastfeed or where, it's just hard for me to see it so I don't willingly put myself in a situation where I have to witness it. I honestly think that she was just looking for a fight and didn't expect somebody to give it back to her.

And maybe you had some other reason for leaving when you did?? It's not always all about you/them, right? Good for you for calling her out; I'll bet you made her think. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-62599591597741846572015-01-19T19:09:40.107-05:002015-01-19T19:09:40.107-05:00I don't care if people breastfeed in public bu...I don't care if people breastfeed in public but I can't stand when this holy right to breastfeed is pushed into my face assuming that I should care for some reason. I just don't, and I wouldn't if I had a child. I would've also get up as you did because I would want to give the woman some privacy. It looks like she didn't need the privacy because she was there on a mission. <br />Oh well, to each his own...<br /><br /><br /><br />PerAsperahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384612134241953499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-16916421658718039742015-01-19T06:58:55.841-05:002015-01-19T06:58:55.841-05:00Mali, you made an interesting point.

She made an assumption about you that was wrong (albeit probably because she was feeling very defensive about people who disagree with breastfeeding in public), and was unreasonably aggressive to you. (Another example of hurt people hurting people). I'm glad you explained your actions, because you corrected her assumption (that you were anti-breastfeeding in public), and stood up for yourself at the same time. Well done.
