thoughts on breast feeding
is it an intimate moment, to be shared in veiled secrecy between mother and child? or is it just feeding an animal? i'm certain that bonding on some level does occur, as it can when adults break bread. however, it's not secretive when grown ups do it, and intimate only when romance, or deals, are on the table. no cover-up blankets needed to meet mom for lunch. no embarrassing stares when drinking milk at breakfast with female friends (well, depending on the previous evening's events of course). no laws against sharing one's plate of food with another (provided you're not in a golden corral). its just odd that folks put this kind of importance on such an uneventful event. could there be a connection with body image and all it's devastating distortions? ugly betty? fat tyra? those poor little rich gelflings, the olsen twins? hambone? one wonders. i'm feeling rather hungry now. i wonder if she's still up?

I don't mind looking at boobs, but when they have a baby attached, it becomes less interesting. I think most of the public tit sucking is to be shocking, or to prove some kind of ridiculous point.
we are so messed up. we create problems in our heads that have no basis in reality. nudity...evil or lurid! is it really problematic? not really. happy turkey day!
