@NorthSideCapone The fact that you get turned on watching a woman breastfeeding a child is *your* problem, not hers. There are people who get sexually aroused by all kinds of nonsexual things; for instance, feet. Should we ask women not to wear sandals so they don't give men erections? Or should we have women wear burqas so men can't be aroused by *any* part of their bodies? Be a man--be responsible for your own erection.

Yeah, this is really stupid. If the store doesn't want you to breastfeed in the store, uhh... too bad - it's the store's rules. If the woman doesn't like it, either don't shop there, breastfeed in the car, or leave the kid at home. It's as simple as that. Are these women looking for laws to be passed? It should be up to each store entirely.

Ha ha ha bet you never ever thought you would see a target spokesperson saying target is ok for Breast feeding

@KhagarBalugrak What a seriously ridiculous statement. It's not even remotely the same thing and the fact that you think so is laughable. Breastfeeding Moms should be allowed (and are legally protected in most states) to feed their babies anywhere it would be acceptable to give a baby a bottle.

@renegade1179 Sorry, but legally in Texas, she has every right to feed her baby wherever she feels appropriate. Target violated her rights. End of story.

Did anyone show up with a camera and start shooting?

@KhagarBalugrak Kagar, my nipple obsessed friend...I promise to keep my shirt on in public only if you promise to keep yours on in public as well. Male nipples are so disgusting...the last time I looked at one, I was in therapy for a month. The issues I had to work through were so traumatic. Why do men have nipples in the first place...for some misguided sense of symmetry? But then again, why are we even discussing this non-issue when the polar ice caps are melting?

@NakedNormaRae Ha, ha, you're so funny... not. It's obvious you just wanna be "loud". Was it that hard to get what I said? This is actually simple: NOTHING in this world will work without rules; if people were pure and honest we wouldn't need lawyers and prisons. That being said, I repeat: if there's a designated area to accommodate you, please respect that. You can only do whatever you want only in the very privacy of your home, not in public. Do you simply run red lights?
