God Bless You Selma Blair

We’re huge Selma Blair fans, people … Ever since she made out with Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions she’s been … wait a minute … Cruel Intentions came out in 1999 didn’t it? Holy hell we’re getting old … Anyway, some things remain timeless … Blair, now 40, was…

We’re huge Selma Blair fans, people …

Ever since she made out with Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions she’s been … wait a minute … Cruel Intentions came out in 1999 didn’t it? Holy hell we’re getting old …

Anyway, some things remain timeless …

Blair, now 40, was photographed outside of a Starbucks breastfeeding her two-year-old son Arthur this week – prompting a debate over breastfeeding (and reviving a debate over attachment parenting).

“I’m all for it,” our founding editor’s wife Mrs. Sic said of public breastfeeding. “People should be able to breastfeed wherever they want. You eat wherever you want, why shouldn’t your baby?”

We agree … not only is this a fundamental liberty all women should be able to practice whenever and wherever they want, but boobie juice makes their kids smart.

Now … what about attachment parenting?

“I don’t do it but I don’t care if other people do,” Mrs Sic said.

Exactly. Different strokes for different folks … one reason we are so adamant in support of market-based academic reforms.

Pooping is a natural function, too, but I don’t do it in public. At least I try not to…

The piece doesn’t use the “natural function” argument. That said, most restaurants won’t allow you to consume food in their establishment that you didn’t purchase there, and lots of places forbid eating and drinking. I presume those would also be acceptably off-limits to breastfeeding?

I guess we’ll have to feed our 2 month old a cheeseburger instead of breastfeeding him at McDonald’s.

You should probably avoid McDonald’s in general.

Sorry, I was just getting ahead of the curve- the “natural function” thing is usually where the public breast feeding zealots go first in discussions. It’s no giant deal for me (mainly, I guess, because my possession of testicles precludes me from breastfeeding), but most of the mainstream chics I know have no real interest in busting out a titty in public, where every 6-toothed redneck walking by can ogle the “natural beauty of a mother feeding her child as it’s been done for millennia…” That’s where they go next in the discussion, usually.

Breastfeeding in public is no biggie with me, although I’d rather the women try to go somewhere private to do so for their own sake. There’s plenty of perverts out there nowadays (and in this case, people with cameras who aren’t shy of taking pictures of you).

A woman breast-fed her child at the table next to mine during lunch just yesterday. After noticing, I respected her privacy after that. That is what adults do. Seems to me we need a few more adults and a few less busy bodies in this country. In fact, I appreciated the fact that she stopped the child’s crying.

At least throw a blanket over it.

It’s simply about manners and consideration for others. Just another liberal celeb shouting “look at me push the envelope, I’m edgy!”. Get lost.

Glad I wasn’t there. I would have had to ask her if I could use the one that wasn’t currently occupied.
