Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[(Anonymous)]

I've shamed women for breastfeeding in public when I was younger.

I no longer do, because over the years I've learned it's apparently a huge feminist issues and realize I was being an ass either way.

It still grosses me out immensely, but I realize that is my problem, not theirs. I just remove myself from the situation, and avoid places that are actively baby-friendly.

It grosses me out even now, and I'm female. Then again, I'm ace and have no desire to have kids (and if I did, I'd adopt). It just makes me really uncomfortable to see that and I nope out of there as quickly as possible.

I don't outright shame them, but from my body language it's pretty clear I'm uncomfortable (general anxious behavior, nervous laughing, etc.).

ayrt: same-ish. I'm not ace, but I'm childfree and everything to do with pregnancy, birthing, and breastfeeding bothers me on a visceral level.

Frankly I wish it didn't because it's a hassle, but it is what it is.

It's great that you have changed your point of view in this topic. As a mom of a toddler who was breastfed until almost 3 (cue the ewwww) I get that there are people who are uncomfortable with seing breast exposed in this context. Honestly, I think normalizing it would make a lot of peoplesimply never develop that feeling of discomfort. StI'll if someone chooses to remove themselves from a situation like that I wouldn't hold it against them, of course. Unless they are a close friend or relative. Then I'd like some sort of heads up like "I don't mind you breastfeeding. It's just that I feel uncomfortable so i'll be over there until you're done"

As I said above, I don't think in my case it's lack of normalization or an issue with breasts. It IS the actual breastfeeding that sort of makes me uncomfortable on a visceral level. I'm also uncomfortable with pregnancies, to some extent, especially if people discuss the physical aspects.

I haven't really found a *good* way to deal with it. Honestly I hope my friends don't hold it against me if I walk out on breastfeeding, or pregnancy discussion, or diaper changes. It's just that the alternative to it is me being really unpleasant company.

On a logical level I know it's totally normal, and part of human biology and life. On an emotional level, my brain just goes nope. I just realize now that is is my problem.

I'm not too put out by public breast-feeding, but I avoid baby-friendly places as a general rule because I can't stand them. (They're just future people I probably won't like, anyway.)

is it really that common to see? I think I've only seen women breastfeeding in a public place like twice in my life

depends on where you are.
