Robin Evans Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 There's a pic getting shared widely on Facebook of a lass playing for Stanningley. She was brought off for a breather, breast fed her nipper before getting stuck back into Oulton. An inspiring pic but for my lack of tech knowledge would upload.

Positive story. Always the same. You have to wait for negative stories if you want to see "League" in the headline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copa Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Excellent. When we visited England with a breastfeeding child we were shocked with the regular negative feedback from strangers when the little one was having a feed in public. Something we never experienced in Canberra (I’m not sure what it’s like in other parts of Australia). This can only help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you visited some parochial backwater which will inevitably have their attitudes changed by old people with sad views dying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely tolerance from the younger people yet again. For the record, it doesn't bother me one bit if a woman breastfeeds in public - I've been in that situation with my OH - but not everyone is comfortable with it. It doesn't make them evil or worthy of dying out. I am a long way from being describe as younger, mate. But thanks. I didn't mean round them up and kill them, o should have been a bit more sensational tbh. What I meant was I assumed these were old boomers moaning and that inevitably they would die of old age at some point and younger people with more progressive attitudes replacing them in the world. I fully accept I might be wrong it might have been a load of millennial women moaning. When people moaned at your OH in the past did you say "fair enough, apologies for offending you, we'll leave" or did you think they were pricks and and told them to mind their own f ing business. That's all I was getting at really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unapologetic pedant Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 6 hours ago, Johnoco said: Nobody moaned or said anything but then she was pretty discrete. If you think these younger people are more tolerant, you're mistaken - they just have different ideas about what is acceptable or not. They will be just as intolerant in a different way. And older people using the term 'boomer' is completely ridiculous. Don't do it, it's something 18 year olds say. You hear "boomer" a lot in American discourse. Apparently the bracket is those born between 1946-1964. Which means almost all of them became teenagers in the 60s or 70s. So why are they assumed to have 1940s attitudes to certain matters?
