I'm writing a letter tomorrow to the manager of the Regal Cinema Downtown to tell him what an ass and horrible human being he is for making a mother nursing her baby stop and leave.
Yes, he was within his legal rights, but I find his behavior abhorrent.
The only people who are 'offended' by breastfeeding mothers are uptight prigs with deep-seated mental problems disguised as modesty. We are biological beings. A mother cow feeding her young does not require a closet. Neither should a mother human doing the same thing.
Apparently this also happened at Atomic Burrito. Having nursed my child - with covering, I should add - everywhere from the va art museum to airplanes to restaurants to the downtown mall, etc., I am horrified at the idea that I could be curtailed. And that another mother was.
What is this world coming to, when the smug clients of downtown establishments trump the needs of a baby??? And don't tell me 'do it at home.' You might as well sequester mothers in a harem if you say something as stupid as that.

Based on that information, I may not patronize either of those places again. That's absolutely ridiculous. I thought Charlottesville was smarter, more progressive, better brought up than that.
The matter at Atomic was a young employee that wrongly assumed that such behavior wasn't permissible. He was publicly reprimanded by Atomic's owner as a result.
Then let people change their baby's diaper in the theater. Just because it smells bad doesn't mean somebody should be forced to leave.
