Jail public breastfeeders

Unless She's Got a Nice Pair
I wanted to do a story on this last week, but I've been working like a Hebrew slave at the BGM.

Does it strike anyone else as monumentally unfair that a man can't even pleasure himself in a separate room, but a woman can whip her shit out anywhwere and everywhere and just go for it?

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. Nov 15, 2006 (AP)— About 30 parents and their children sat in front of an airline counter Wednesday to protest the treatment of a passenger who said she was kicked off a plane for breast-feeding her child.

As usual, the issue here is not so much whether or not a woman is allowed to do something, but whether she's allowed to rub it in everyone else's face.

When Emily Gillette, the new Rosa Parks for indecent exposure, whipped out her tit on a plane, the flight attendant handed her a blanket so that everyone else didn't have to see. Gillette objected and was subsequently booted from the flight.

Hence this silly "nurse-in" at the airport where the incident took place.

Though, if you notice, none of the mothers in this picture actually have their titties out. I know it's not an issue of the paper refusing to run a picture of a woman breastfeeding, because they did the last time this issue came up, in '05.
