Bill Maher: breastfeeding is like masturbation, public breastfeeding is lazy

bill_maher.jpgNow, I already strongly dislike Bill Maher, but hearing him refer to breast feeding as "an intimate act" and that he doesn't want to have "watch strangers performing an intimate act...at least not for free!" just convinced me that I hate him. OH BILL! You are so funny! What's even funnier? Bill mocks "breastfeeding activists" by saying their argument that breastfeeding should be appropriate everywhere because "it's natural" is wrong because, hey, "so is masturbating".

His next hilarious joke? "Next thing you know women will want to be giving birth at the waterfall at the mall!" And you know, really, he's right. I mean, women really should be ashamed for being "too lazy" to "plan ahead or cover up" if breastfeeding in public. Good god. How is this man allowed on television?

You can watch his entire smug, sexist monologue after the jump.

    Smell? Slurping noise? You clearly have never witnessed a mother breastfeeding her child.

    Bill Mahr is absolutely 100% correct. Breastfeeding should be done in private, especially in a restaurant environment. People are trying to eat, and the last thing they want to see is some mammal pull out a teat and start suckling her puppy. There's the obnoxious slurping noise, the unsightlyness of it, and the smell. It's incredibly rude and obnoxious to perform this in public, just as public urination, defecation, or masturbation is rude and obnoxious.

    Of Course it is inappropriate things to do !!!! It's same as someone masturbating in public........so if u women are raped while breast-feeding don't start crying !!!!

    I cant say how pissed i was when i read this I thought it was a joke but being a young Mum (19) i dont care if someone doesnt want to see me feed my baby hell your eyes and head can move so dont look. Its not hard. Young girls already dont breast feed as it is and ppl like this jackass saying things like this are just gonna stop woman even more. Its insane that ppl think junk like that should be on tv it does nothing but hurt ppl.

    How wonderful. I suggest women in malls hand their screaming babies to him rather than offend him with a swift flash of nipple before silencing their chubby wee dependent.



    Despite being wholly breastfeeding phobic (I am 6 months pregnant and planning to give it a go), and a big ol' fan of lady fun bags, I am yet to see the process be at all arousing :)
