So when do the complaints of a few outweigh the needs of society or 
babies for that matter? Children obviously don't have a voice in this 
matter (except for their heart-wrenching wails), mothers don't seem to 
have much of a voice either. What is the problem with breasts?? Why do 
people find them offensive? Why do women need to cover up when they are 
feeding their children? This seems so puritanical to me. Could someone 
please explain what this society finds so morally wrong about breasts???
