I find this part of anonymous's response telling...notice he said, "Applebee's has every right to ask her to cover the baby up."

So, obviously, it is the baby, not the boob, that he finds offensive.

There are a few "boobs" I find offensive, like anonymous...would it be against the law if I covered them with a blanket?

EILAT- I totally agree. I would like to know why it's okay for applebees to put on their big screen TV's the HOOTERS girls pageant while I was with my kids trying to eat my dinner. The providing blankets thing is so gross to me. Whose handled the blankets? Who's to say they're clean and who's to say every baby is going to tolerate a blanket on their head?

"NO ONE WANTS TO SEE TITS HANGING OUT.

EVEN IF A BABY IS ATTACHED TO IT..."

More like, ESPECIALLY if a baby is attached to it. I see women with their tits hanging out all over the place. On TV, in magazines, at the mall, everywhere. No one asks these women to cover up with blankets or leave an airplane or any such.

The hypocrisy of the modesty police
annoys me

What a compelling argument. ;)

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with a little thing called "the law."

You don't have to like something for it to be legal.

NO ONE WANTS TO SEE TITS HANGING OUT.

EVEN IF A BABY IS ATTACHED TO IT, IT'S DISGUSTING. PUT IT AWAY.

Applebee's has every right to ask her to cover the baby up. Get over it.

Of course comments must be approved by you. You certinaly wouldn't want a comment that contains ANY common sense to be available to your readers, now would you! Go Applebees!!!!!!

This whole situation makes me wish I still had a nursling. In fact, if our area organizes one, I may go to show my support anyway... it's one thing for a business to do something stupid... something else entirely for corporate to support it!

Isn't it amazing the frustration that can be generated by one disgusted customer and one rude manager? I was holding out hope that Applebees nationwide would not stand with this franchise, but clearly they have gone the wrong road. The saddest part is that they are the ones who broke the law, and they are standing by it. It's truly no wonder lactivism is such a struggle. I just wish I were

LOL, I know!

I feel really bad about that, but I have to remind myself that while lactivism is an important battle, it's not MY job to lead (or assist) with every last battle.

Which is good, because believe me, during the busy lactivist times, there is NO room for that and a real job. Thankfully, most of the time consuming lactivist battles so far have come while my work load

What do you mean you have other things to do rather than keep abreast of EVERYTHING (no pun intended, really).
Seriously, I appreciate the coverage you give and the transparency with which you do it. I suppose I should try to think for myself now :-)
