why must everything be ad absurdum?
...I think the breastfeeding/infant discussion is completely ridiculous, though. YOU CAN'T BRING YOUR BABIES EVERYWHERE. Just wait a year or two, for fuck's sake. I mean, choosing to breastfeed only and without pumping is an awesome choice, but it's a CHOICE that you make that has CONSEQUENCES. You can't bring your baby to a fucking bar, either.
clarification: I am 1000% in favor of breastfeeding in public and I think it should be allowed in every place babies are allowed. I just don't think everywhere in the entire world needs to allow babies.

Sorry, having a little bitterness, here. I stayed home the year my kid was born because my six-week-old was not ready to be away from me for a whole weekend, nor I from her, and I wasn't actually breastfeeding. The idea that it would have been okay to let a breastfeeding mother bring her baby but not allow me to bring mine...brings up a whole lot of issues for me that I thought were gone when I finally accepted that my body wasn't going to produce milk. Apparently not.
