Take a look at this gem:
Last December, the District of Columbia Council passed The Child's Right to Nurse Act. It gave women the right to breast feed, covered or not, in any place where women had a right to be. The ordinance also required employers to provide female employees with a private, clean space, outside a restroom, to express milk. Some employers have provided lactation suites. But many others are struggling to comply because of space limitations. (The Washington Post, 13-May-2008, p. F1).
One has to wonder, at least this one, why any government entity feels compelled to become involved in a child’s nursing habits, but alas there appear to be boobs everywhere. In Washington, D.C. you can now walk into the Lincoln Memorial, the National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery or an office and be greeted at a reception desk by a women and her child while one enjoys a cup of coffee and the other is cupping breakfast. :rolleyes:
And, if you accept the literal intent of this law you will find lactation action in the cafeteria, the conference room, the copy room, the supply room, and the boss’s office at work. That is, unless it is still legal to bar a woman from the cafeteria and on second thought, she may well be the boss.
I showed this article to a young woman whose reaction was, “it’s a natural act.
Yes, it is a natural act, but so is, well, here is a list that comes to mind:
Cutting ones toenails, applying deodorant, clipping ear hair, shaving ones legs, and I suppose there are others that shall remain unmentioned. I don’t want to see any of that in public and I suspect that some people would like to limit their viewing of a woman’s anatomy to more refined settings, perhaps curled up with a copy of Playboy or sneaking a peek watching Dancing with the Stars.
