Question of the Week
Ok people. You know the drill. It's the Question of the Week/Month whatever. You might have heard about the woman from Sante Fe, NM who got kicked off a Delta airlines flight this week for breastfeeding her child. She was asked once to cover up with a blanket. When she declined the blanket offer they kicked her off the plane.
Fair or Unfair? Tell me what you think?
This was actually a discussion on sports talk radio this morning. The entire story is that it was a 10pm flight, they were seated in the next to last row, her near the window, husband the aisle, her shirt pulled over everything, and it was the flight attendant who was "uncomfortable" and complaining, not another passenger. Are you kidding me? Who cares? Yes I and the hosts of the sexist, right winged, fart joke telling sports radio are in support of a women's right to pull out her boobs when ever she wants, even if it is just to feed a hungry baby. I hope she sues and wins big.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the basic question I was angry... then I read the detailed explanation and I am now furious. I can imagine that there have been far more graphic acts performed on a plane - and the flight attendant is giving this woman crap for feeding her child? This is ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note - I still need to get you a copy of the oob Feminism & Motherhood issue.

feed her child; what bullshit.
