In the world we live in, even the most natural things are oversexualized. Our human anatomy is made into erotic and taboo discussions not ever intended for the dinner table. Everywhere you go, you hear and see the idea of breastfeeding, but unfortunately, you very rarely see a woman openly breastfeeding due to insecurity, embarrassment, and even fear of harassment.

Breastfeeding is not practiced as openly as it should be because of the anxiety it has caused for many women. While breastfeeding is natural, many people in today's world have drawn a giant, red X on females' bodies, and express ignorant disgust at the pure sight of breastfeeding. Being the modest human that I am, seeing breastfeeding when I was younger confused me because I never understood what it was but really did not care because it was not hurting me or hurting anyone else — I mean, the woman is feeding her child.

I would consider any person who feeds their child, especially in a natural and beneficial way, a good mother.

As a part of most cultures, breasts are considered a sexual organ. Breasts are judged on size, shape, how perky they are, and all that irrelevant criteria. We shouldn't be judging breasts based on their natural function: breastfeeding, which nurses and doctors have to test and assess daily on maternity units. The issue with seeing breasts as sexual organs is when a baby is not being breastfed because a mother is made to feel uncomfortable doing what is only natural and suggested by doctors, family, and friends. As humans, like every other mammal, we feed our children the milk from our bodies.

There are women in America who know it's the best option for their child, but feel uncomfortable doing it because they know they will be approached in public, stared at, and shamed by ignorant people for it.

The people who have problems with breastfeeding in public are the people who sexualize everything. They are the same people who say that a rape victim should not have "worn that dress, drank that much, flirted with him." They are the same exact people who tell women what they can or cannot do with their bodies whether it be tattoos, piercings, or even abortions.

All of this hearsay about breastfeeding causes far more harm in society today than many people ever thought about before. Mothers have a tendency to be pointed at no matter what they do. They breastfeed in public — they get judged. They don't breastfeed in public — they get judged. They aren't able to breastfeed at all —They. Get. Judged.

If a woman breastfeeds, doesn't breastfeed, can't breastfeed, wishes she could breastfeed, tries so hard to breastfeed, could someday hopefully breastfeed, decides she wants to stop breastfeeding ... It is her choice for her child and herself, and not for anyone else to tell her it's right or wrong.

Breasts are for breastfeeding. Whether a girl has B, C, or DD breasts, it is her choice whether or not and where she breastfeeds. It's her choice how she looks at herself.

Are you gonna tell your child they can't eat when they are hungry because some hater is going to make their mother feel uncomfortable about it?

Don't like it? Don't look.
