We're so entitled it makes me sick

Saw a headline on CNN that said 'breastfeeding moms were mad at Target'.

/sigh

You know, what gets me the most about this is having to bow down to what 'you' want because 'you' deserve extra this or that. I'm so tired of it. I'm certainly not against breastfeeding but I am against doing it in public places. I think it's tacky. When I fed my babies in public it was because I'd taken the time to prepare a bottle ahead of time so if they were hungry, I'd be ready. Why can't breastfeeding moms do the same thing? Use a pump. It's not rocket science. In this video story the woman who'd been asked to move to a fitting room went on Facebook about what happened and, as a result, a group of breastfeeding moms took to Target to voice their displeasure over the situation.

I find it mind boggling.

And it makes me angry that they, like so many other groups, are trying to force what they want down everyone elses throats because the rest of 'us' (that's a general 'us') don't matter. Since when does diversity exclude tolerance? (sounds hypocritical, doesn't it? I know.) I feel the same way about the womens groups vying for 'equality'. We're not equal to men in a lot of areas. That's what makes us unique. By the same token, men aren't equal to us on a lot of fronts. I do not understand why we need anyone to declare us 'equal'. It's our differences that make us great. I do think that as people we're all the same, equal, whatever you want to call it. But there's a line between the sexes and it's there for a reason. We're not the same. Some of the race fights, no different. As people we're equal but as a race? Again, it's our differences that make us great.

I'm rambling. Because I'm tired.

I think the more we strive to point out what we deserve or what makes us better the more we blur the line of tolerance. And we're close to blurring it flat out of existence. You want equal rights to feed your child in public then do what we do. Make a bottle in advance. It's not hard.
