Comments on: I may not be a feminist, but I do get a kick out of antagonizing irrational men http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/10/08/i-may-not-be-a-feminist-but-i-do-get-a-kick-out-of-antagonizing-irrational-men/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

Gorgeous montage. I'd daresay you're a feminist but didn't know it. How else can you fight for a woman's basic right to feed her baby and not be one? I agree 100%. Gorgeous montage.

Wish I had seen it the day you posted (my 42nd birthday) as it would have been a nice little gift to myself. Your words & your hubby's slide show are fab!!! I have a 5mo that I'm nursing now and a 2yo that I nursed until he self-weaned at about 18 months. I had no idea the s***storm I was stepping into when I first nursed him in public, didn't know about any kind of controversies, just knew that my poor little babe that had heart defects and Down syndrome needed every leg up I can give him. What I got was guys coming out of the kitchens at restaurants to peek at us. I just thought they were sad dorks. Never was asked to leave or cover up at any time. Which is good because as mama bears go I'm a just-woke-from-hibernation-and-you-look-tasty grizzly. Fun reading! Just getting caught up at OMSH and found her link to this.

I've nursed both my kids in public, and have another onthe way. I do still feel self-concious, but my baby's hunger comes first. I also feel that 'NIP' encourages other moms to do so, as well as teaches a new generation exactly what breasts are REALLY for! Great post!

The arguments that some pinheads have used comparing a breastfeeding woman to someone who walks into a bank/restaurant/store completely naked just chaps my ass. And?

And may I just add that when I can't tear my eyes away from watching you (a general you) feed your baby, I'm not trying to be a voyeur. I just really miss feeling that special closeness with my baby and am enjoying watching you enjoy the same closeness. I love this!

It's just not a big deal. Like you said, bfing women are trying to show off their goods. Great video. I just can’t wrap my brain around why bfing is such a hot button issue for some.
