inkman Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) So I was at a 1 year old's bday party, and one of the toddler mommies whips out here boob for her baby's chow time. No cover, no warning, just instant boob in my face. I wasn't opposed to this circumstance but I was so shocked it was difficult for me to wrap my head around it. So is this normal and what I should expect in a room full of mommies with babies? Edited December 30, 2017 by Borkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 So I was at a 1 year old's bday party, and one of the toddler mommies whips out here boob for her baby's chow time.

So is this normal and what I should expect in a room full of mommies with babies? Seems more normal every day. I've been surprised by it twice in the last few months from 30's-ish moms that I wouldn't have expected it from. I'm adjusting. Drops boob. *Adjusts some more* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is this normal and what I should expect in a room full of mommies with babies? Babies need to eat. Boobs feed babies. Whimsical note: I live not far from a college campus. This past summer, I saw signs up one of the driveways leading to it advertising free bounce houses and a petting zoo. I thought: “My daughter would enjoy this” and took her up there on a fine Saturday afternoon. We did the petting zoo, went to the bounce house, then started to tour the vendors... at this point I started to register the wierd looks that I, man by myself with a child, was receiving at this thing. The vendors were all maternity gear, clothes for the recently having whelped and so on. Evidently it was a festival meant to celebrate breastfeeding. There was a large lawn area where this was going on. Moms were encouraged to raise placards upon latching. This was being kept track of onstage. Being one of the two guys there, and having no female escort beyond my 6 year old, we went to the cupcake truck and I bought my way out of there...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Apparently, at a couple local colleges, I had a student of mine today tell me that the term "freshman" is now considered sexist.... The appropriate term is now "1st year" Things are getting outta control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can admit I have become one of the worst cynics, it's not a great quality. Some of the things in society need changing, but when is it too much?

Some of the things in society need changing, but when is it too much? Let's take this from a different perspective: why is changing from freshman to first-year a bad thing? Are there any legitimate negative consequences? If not, then why have a "when is it too much" reaction to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) PSA. If you like an artist's work and they offer prints, especially cheap ones, just buy a f*ckin print instead of printing it out yourself. Like, I'm glad you like it, and maybe your print out on sh!tty computer paper will earn me "exposure" (yeah right) but this is my business. And I'm pretty poor. Support your local artists/businesses. It's not the end of the world, but every little sale really makes it so I can eat something besides cereal. Hell, if you're dead set on just printing it out, venmo me like... 5 or 10 bucks. I dunno. Argh. Edited January 2, 2018 by ABBA_älskare_69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
