I'd like to see these Betty Betty Friedan wannabes try that in a Saudi Arabian or Iranian Mickey D's.

I can see this post will be ripe for all sorts of jokes about milkshakes, supersize helpings and plain good old fashiioned jokes about 'women's wobbly bits'.

Others are boycotting MickyD's

The sort of people who boycott McDonald are the ones who would never have used them anyway. The regular contented 'apolitical' Macmunchers are never going to be bothered about any boycotts.

I boycott MickyD's. Every time I eat a Big Mac I get a funny feeling !!

The feminine psychology here exhibited is really quite revealing. How often do you see women taking any excuse to exhibit themselves by thrusting their parts on us, on almost any excuse. There they are in picture after picture trying to shock the public, whether from the W.I. or even the church womens guild. Ask for a volunteer for a Lady Godiva and you may well be trodden under foot in the stampede, though they prefer to put on a show of reluctance if possible. How many recent cases of rape have we seen overturned when the woman is caught out in a blatant lie about some poor intimidated bloke? Men are being shamefully treated by "in yer face" chave women, encouraged in their criminal behaviour by a whole coven of female socialist cabinet ministers.

I think you are on very dodgy ground comparing breastfeeding with the issue of so-called provocation in rape cases.

Colm,

Don't they say that if you want others to respect you, you first have to respect yourself!

Obviously these biddies don't think that applies to them...

Ernest

But they don't consider breastfeeding in public to be disrespectfull.

Nor should they feel it to be disrespectful. They are feeding a baby. Which is worse, a woman breastfeeding a child or the child going hungry?

Seamus by logic of your argument - if a baby is not fed by breast in public it starves.
I for one would be offended as it is not necessary for a lady to do that. Some things in human society are best done away from others eyes.
I still know people who believe in modesty.

Colm,

I could accept that, if it wasn't so obvious that they seem to do it more for the shock effect than out of any need for the baby to feed at that instant.

I can understand the pressing need to suckle in public in poorer societies, but in a supposedly civilised and better educated society I would have thought that a degree of modesty might have prevailed.

However!...

Ernest

You can't tar every breastfeeded with the same brush. yes there are some who do it with a certain glaring look at everyone around them as if to say "Go on I dare you to object" but not all. I was on a fairly long train journey yesterday and glancing over at a woman on an adjacent seat I could see she was breastfeeding an obviously fairly new born baby, but it was done very modestly and cautiously , she was looking at her baby the whole time and it was barely noticeable at all. She clearly wasn't doing it as a 'political' act.

Colm,

I agree, it can be done, in certain circumstances, but in McD's? - that was an 'in your face' declaration of defiance - and yes - it was disrespectful to some, if not all of those nearby.

Why do females insist on being as crass and boorish as men - and then think that it is an act of 'equality'? Personally, I think the girls had it all before the feminist (what a misnomer that is) movement got to work.

They used to be treated with far more 'respect', now all they have is a faux equality, - and still they moan!...

"I think the girls had it all before the feminist (what a misnomer that is) movement got to work."

Oh Ernest you're asking for a whirlwind of responses from the 'fairer sex" with that remark :)

Colm,

You may be surprised how many would agree with me!..:-)

I do see to a small degree where Ernest is coming from. I think Dave Chapelle said it best:

"Chivalry is dead. And Women killed it!".

I remember opening the door a for some women down the town about a year ago and she launched into a rant about how she could have opened the door herself.

That being said, while feminism is the root of all evil, they have created some good changes. Not all of them are good, but some of them are.

I still feel though that if it is fine for me to walk into McDonald's with my T-Shirt off, why the fuck isn't it acceptable for a girl to do it?

You think it's fine to go into McD's without a shirt on?

Well I don't, and I wouldn't, but heh! - that's you, and if you want to give everyone a sniff of your b.o. while lining up to order food, well, I guess that's ok with you too!

I knew McD's was rough, I never realised it was that bad!..:-)

Now I was breast fed, but enough about my years at uni! Seriously, are we talking about women being descreet, or just baring all for the little sucker?

That baby was the only one who got any real nutrition.
