In 2013, 81.1 percent of U.S. mothers said they started out breast-feeding their baby. That's up from 75 percent in 2008, and 70 percent in 2000, according to the CDC.
[...] 52 percent of U.S. mothers said they were still breast-feeding their infants when the babies were 6 months old, and 30 percent said they were still breast-feeding when the babies reached 1 year.
How should society handle breastfeeding in public and the workplace? Should there be any restrictions on the age of the child?
Breastfeeding has obvious benefits for a child's development, but breast milk is also a fluid of the body that can carry disease.

I am being serious -- I'm a huge fan of boobs! When they are on display, it's really hard not to look.
I'm not going to go all rapey or anything just because I see boobs, and I wouldn't stand there in front of them with drool running down my chin.

Amen! But for some of us, context matters.

This is an admission of a thought pattern that some parts of society find distasteful, and I think it's healthy for people to feel comfortable talking about those sorts of thoughts. Your last post was also an admission of behavior, and a support of society reshaping itself to allow you to engage in that behavior more. I'm sure that we all sometimes view people in a sexual light when they don't intend to present themselves that way, but the purposeful engagement and pursuit of that experience comes off as verging on voyeuristic. If I found myself drawn to that experience I would like to think that I'd try to stop the thought pattern, not reinforce it by acting out the behavior.
