We are forced to accomodate all the others out there when they flout their morals in our faces, why not the prudish?  I dont think it was unreasonable to ask her to be discrete.  if it was an imposition, that would have been one thing.  But a blanket is an imposition?

Because prudishness is immature. This is the 21st century, not the 19th. As I said, she wasn't displaying her breast for sexual reasons. If someone can't handle the sight of a breast when a baby is feeding, they're the ones with a problem. From what the report says here:


"She said she was seated by the window in the next-to-last row, her husband was seated between her and the aisle and no part of her breast was showing."

I think that was enough discretion.

My mother would disagree with you, as would my grandmother.  Respecting someone's sensibilities is what the 21st century is all about.  Are you saying that it is only ok to respect some sensibilities and not others?  And then who decides which to respect.

BTW:  I dont know how many flights you have been on, but the bathrooms are in the back and you get a full frontal walking down the aisle.

Respecting someone's sensibilities is what the 21st century is all about.

In other words, political correctness. Unfortunantely, a lot of people are de-evolving.

They have the right to their opinion, but if their opinion is outdated, it shouldn't count for shit.

I think I met that woman when I lived in Santa Fe . . . I could almost swear that I did! I even think I have a picture of her somewhere . . .

And if it is who I think it is . . . the flight attendant was just jealous.

At least you are consistent. And very non-PC!

Thanks. I think "outdated" might have been a bad choice of words. Maybe "prudish" is better.

I defend a woman's right to breastfeed in public, but there is NO excuse to display any part of the breast while doing so. I know women who breastfeed in church, in the chapel, and you would have to be looking awful close to even realize she's doing it.

But more to the point. This woman was apparently being discreet. If so, then she has a very strong case against Delta Airlines, and I hope she sues the shirt off their backs!

And don't go throwing that "religion" crap around, it's as tiresome as the whole "should she or shouldn't she" question about discreet breastfeeding.

You're saying there are prudes who don't base their opinions on religion?

I think a woman in her twenties should be able to flop her breasts out anywhere(preferably in my vicinity )....but, that's just me.

Done, Zoomba.

Not only you.

This is about as stupid as the 10 year-old kid that got suspended from school, because he asked his teacher for a hug. Link

It's falling apart at a pretty good rate these days.
