The Breastfeeding Conspiracy?

First of all, I'm not a conspiracy advocate but I am a thinker. Yesterday, I got into a discussion with some women about a woman publically breastfeeding in a restaurant with an exposed breast and the impropriety of it (for various reasons discussed).

Today, I kept getting this "message" regarding those who do this are very similar to an exhibitionist: a person who behaves in ways intended to attract attention or display her (his) powers, personality, etc. In looking up this word, I noticed that psychology also associated it with narcissistic behavior: tending to derive erotic gratification from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes.

I would have thought that this might be extreme, except I was also reminded of something I read, back in the eighties, about women climaxing while breastfeeding. Yes, it's true, Google it; one site said there were six million results. Since I never breastfed, I couldn't attest to it, but many women did in this article that I read, and apparently still do today. This, it was claimed in the article, also attributed to men and their fascination with women's breast. It wasn't just nurturing, it was also sexual, and a reason for being exploited. In fact, many women stated that they enjoyed breastfeeding because of it. The things one learns.

Now, this brings me to today and more women publically breastfeeding. Yes, you know where I'm going with this. Is it only logical that others also know about this and may not wish to participate in this possibly and publically occurring? Whereas, others may feel they don't mind "Sally" publically climaxing while they or others eat? And if people choose to participate, by watching, and not be uncomfortable with what may occur, wouldn't psychology agree to this as being similar to voyeurism? Similar only due to it being subconsciously permitted and because it's not actually done in secret.

Now, science comes along and states: go back to breastfeeding; it's good for mom and baby (some dispute this claim, of course). However, we do know that science isn't always perfect. They have flawed many times. Makes me wonder why many were so willing to participate in this. Makes me wonder why some women choose to breastfeed for longer than necessary. I enjoyed my freedom and flexibility, yet I still nurtured my babies. My mom did the same. Why the guilt trip? Was it a time period where women's breasts could come out of the closet? What would be another purpose other than breastfeeding? Hmmm...

Does anyone truly wonder who's really behind many of our rules/laws that are made and why? I know I do.
