Well, there is the problem, Terabithia - you indirectly compare a woman's breasts to a man's "peckers", or genitalia if you wish.
The sexualizing of the nipple, good as it might be for a lot of people in bed, brings with it a whole lot of bad things. Such as the hysteric focus on "nip slips" or whether or not nipples are visible through clothes. It just makes me even more self-aware, for instance if I am out in cold weather or if I am doing my run, I suddenly start fearing my nipples are visible through my clothes because of the temperature change. Is it one more look-related thing for women to worry about and I am fed up.
And even though breats have a sexual meaning to you, doesn't mean they shouldn't be "natural" - any woman who has swum without a bikini top, alone or with others, know how liberating it can feel. Most women take off their bra when going to sleep, some even do it the moment they get home (I know several) because they find it so uncomfortable. It is awful that society makes the nipple so scandalous and mysterious all at once. Personally I think breast feeding in public is completely normal, and I don't really see what the fuzz is about when people react to it, but I don't have a need to walk around flashing my nipples all the time. I just think it's another way to scandalize/shame women's bodies if such a natural thing as feeding your baby, a beautiful act, nurturting life, should be something hidden.
