Suseonline I hesitate.
Dare I. Poirot. maybe you too, think I am a bit fragile in this area. Well I am ,confused. See some of my honestly held views are selectively liked. The opinion SOME WOMAN, want far too much, may just at times get it wrong gets me in trouble. Found a link, long but informative. It tells my thoughts very well, yet I have to say a few things about it. All my life, like every male and female who has normal feelings,sex has not been dirty for me. I , often, saw both sex,s openly use it as a toy, well guilty too. But always wondered, just how can the male who has had many many sex partners name a women for far less? should not bother but here is food for thought. PS Koshys right to think and say as he wishes has my support. http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/tables-have-turned-on-slut-shamers-20130125-2dbzb.html Posted by Belly, Saturday, 26 January 2013 6:22:26 AM

Yes, well, Belly....as far as I can see it's all a pretty tangled web we've devised for ourselves in modern society - especially as Australia seems to have retreated from any cultural mores that may have defined things a little more clearly between the genders. We appear to have taken on a generic "Western" culture which proclaims that men and women are pretty well androgynous in consumer society...I think that leaves us all a tad confused - so why not everyone get blind drunk to do their courting.
Btw, I'm not against Mr Koch per se, (he seems a nice enough bloke) my opinions were directed at his sort of mindset. I see the point Houellie was making that it's hard, especially for men, to disassociate the sexual aspect of breasts from the non-sexual aspect of breastfeeding. From a woman who has breastfed, though, I'm endeavouring to say that feeding bub that way is just such a utilitarian, ordinary everyday action of nurture. when I hear stories like the one about the mum at the pool or patronisng banter "unnecessarily" attaching tacit censure if certain "standards are not adhered to", it irritates me.

"When I pick my nose, I can do it 'discretely'."
But wouldn't the more accurate comparison be if, when you pick your baby's nose in public, you can do it discretely? But, that quibble aside Houellebecq, yesterday's comments could be regarded as your two nicest hits. Posted by WmTrevor, Saturday, 26 January 2013 10:06:24 AM

Good point, WmTrevor,
What does an act like such as "picking one's nose" - or - runner's comparison with "going to the toilet" have in common with feeding a baby with the female physical attributes that are designed for the task? It seems that such comparisons expose the very attitude I'm railing against - that feeding a baby with breast milk from a breast is somehow ingrained in "some" people's minds as comparable with defecation, urination and picking one's nose (things that are not done in public in civilised and polite society) - a "shameful act" - and something to be kept well and truly hidden.

For goodness sake, I haven't noticed lactating breasts flopped out all over the public spaces around us!
It isn't a crime to breast feed your baby in public, so all the poor, delicate loves that find bare breasts offensive should just avoid ogling them and all girlie magazines and girlie bars as well... Posted by Suseonline, Saturday, 26 January 2013 11:20:28 AM

I should have though that both would have satisfied some of your criteria.
