Well, obviously they have more than one purpose, one of which is for male oggling..and she is an exceptionally beautiful woman. I think if an average woman had done the same thing there would be less reaction, because people do ogle when given the opportunity, and then they feel guilty, and then people try to make them feel that is not normal and the only possible function is that of lactation.

Now, really..why is every woman practically on TV, fashionable or not, attractive or not, displaying her charms? Is it because she is lactating? Probably not. What about half-dressed teenagers? This is a multi-purposed organ or two, which is why there is so much fuss.

So modesty is recommended, while still allowing nursing to go on. Men should be respectful of a woman's privacy and women should be respectful of the discomfort that this can cause and try to be modest when they can be. But the health of the babies must be the priority. mg
