The difference

I addressed the topic of baby nursing in public on TV yesterday as follows:

"I don't understand why any lady would risk the slightest possible amount of embarrassment by nursing in public; and of all the places to do it, a restaurant seems to be just the worst choice."

The key word, which the viewers probably overlooked, is "lady." A lady is what my mother was, and your mother is or was. "Lady" is one step above "woman."

A woman is a human being with female genetic material, and with proper upbringing and training, she can aspire to be a lady. A lady is genteel, gentle, loving and completely socially appropriate. A lady is never rude, crude or obnoxious. A lady is the woman that every gentleman seeks as a wife. . . someone to respect and honor.

Who would be embarrassed? There is nothing at all to be ashamed of about breastfeeding in public. Nothing at all. Oh wait. YOU don't like it, therefore anyone who isnt embarrassed by it can't be a lady!

I don't go to a restaurant for the peep show, minor Shakespearean character.

Oh. I see. You always associate breasts with a "peep show", meaning a sexual exhibition. That is your problem. Nobody elses.
