Conflating the two makes you look like either an unpleasant misogynist or someone ignorant of basic biological functions.
Now where's that petition? Will try and get the missus to sign it - the hospital kept her and baby in for four days until they got breastfeeding working, and damn good thing too.

don't try to read behind the asterisks. It was pee pee i said, not poo poo.
of course there should be nothing against feeding a baby in a fast food "restaurant" like mcdonalds. It would be stupid to suggest otherwise, but thanks again for putting words into my mouth. I just think there should be rules on where you can and can't do it, and at the end of the day it should be down to the proprietor, not the government.
I think i'll plump for "unpleasant misogynist" though. My girlfriend would be torn between the two terms, i'm sure.
Having thought about this, there should be places babies, and indeed children, can't go. Internet cafes, for one. My girlfriend works in an internet cafe, and i often pick her up from work. On the odd occasions i'm early, if she's busy i'll just jump on a computer. There's nothing more distracting than a baby screaming away in your ear. Perfectly natural again, but still undesirable in that particular setting. You wouldn't get away with it in a cinema, nor should you in plenty of other places. Note, this isn't an anti-baby or anti-woman stance, as i'm sure you'll accuse me of, it's an anti-anti-social stance. Smelly people, junkies, people with loud mobile phones, and even that bloody jamster chick for a ringtone, EVEN IF ON SILENT, should all be barred from internet cafes.
