Get your tits out for the TDs

Donald Trump

That Australian senator lady has been whipping out the baps again. This time while proposing some sort of motion.

So, good citizens of AH, not getting into debate about breastfeeding in public etc.. Feel free to start another thread on that angle.

My question for you is, are there any TDs that you would like to see getting their boobs out? Do we have any that wouldn't turn your stomach? Who would tempt you to switch over from Bangbabes to the late night Oireachtas Report?

I reckon Mick Wallace probably has gotten his moobs out already a few times but you can't count him. I'm only talking about the ladiezzzz.

People can be tough on female politicians. I remember how, for example, Mary Harney or Mary O'Rourke used to get a lot of hassle for their looks. I'd go so far as to say that no matter how much or how little they did for for the country, they always had their knockers*

As for who has the biggest tits in the Dail....that would probably be the AAA alliance or whatever they are calling themselves.

What an attention seeking idiot.If she wants to feed her child (regardless of how she feeds it) she shouldn't be doing it while she is in the middle of work.

I have a huge issue with breast feeding in public...the child's head always gets in the way so you can't get a good look at the diddy.

You're spot on, it just reeks of attention seeking. Poor kid will be mortified in years to come.

I don't think that lady in Austrailia was exactly 'whipping out the baps' and as for AAA...they would be very small tits indeed.

Really don't care where people feed their babies in public. It's a baby. It doesn't give a flying about social conventions, it wants dinner. Having said that, there were more private places to go, and it seems like a bit of a stunt (unless Australia is more relaxed than most of the rest of the anglophone world regarding breastfeeding).

But stepping back for a moment from the breastfeeding, which seems to be causing the majority of knicker-knotting in the press, why is there a very tiny baby in Parliament? Think of the example the poor mite is being set!

Why won't someone think of the children? :O

We all know the reason why they call it a waist is because you could've got an extra pair in there.

Mary has seen the gap in the market.

How many mistakes were there in that 30 second clip.

I knew Australian's were pretty slow, but the boob out is as you said attention seeking and as for the rest of them, reminds me of the Dail.

How are these people in charge?

Anybody that objects to women breastfeeding in public needs to grow up. And they're hardly 'whipping them out'.

For all that, doing it as a stunt in your workplace /parliamentary motion is a tiny bit cringeworthy, although I obviously wouldn't be 'offended' by it.

It's the woman in that video who needs to grow up. I have no problem with a woman breastfeeding in public, but I do have a problem with a woman who does it for media attention.

It amazes me that people (usually men) constantly make this "attention seeking" claim, when anyone who's ever actually looked after a baby knows they don't eat at regular intervals. If a woman is going to breastfeed her baby apparently she has to remain housebound so as not to attract criticism. Or feed her baby in public toilets.

Meanwhile, those who think a baby should eat in the toilet or that feeding it is equivalent to defecating in public are out in force again. No wonder Ireland has one of the lowest rates in the world for babies being breastfed.

Having done it myself, it's fine for outings, but it would be physically impossible to have a big enough stock built up to allow you to go out to work regularly.
Speaking personally, the hours involved in expressing sufficient amounts of milk would make that a non-option.

Also, the baby gets hungrier as it gets older, and the milk production adapts in both quality and quantity. With expressed milk you're using your painstakingly-gathered collection of milk from when the baby was some weeks younger, so not ideal for its current age, and quite likely not entirely satisfying for it.

It's hard to see what the point in breast feeding is, in that case. Just stick a bottle in its mouth, and get criticized for that too, eh? :rolleyes:

Totally agree that breastfeeding shouldnt be in toilets, gross but when babies are hungry they cry, should everyone be allowed bring their crying babies to work? Or parliament?

You understand how a parliament works right? Your allocated time to raise your issue or bill. If the member isn't there to raise their bill they move on to the next issue. The baby wasn't crying so you're just begging the question here.

If you want to talk lack of decorum in the national assembly just look at what Wallace wears in the Dáil

Why would the child be mortified? "Oh my god ... when you were a baby ... your mother used to FEED YOU!!!!"

As the messiest squirtiest leakiest breastfeeder in the world, I was actually watching that thinking I wish I could've done it so discreetly and naturally (for the brief period I attempted it for!) I think it's actually a lovely example for expectant mothers of how handy and normal it can be, when it works out.

It doesn't look like attention-seeking, we don't know her reasons for having to be there on that day. Fair play to her for not compromising either her career or her parenting, even with a child that small.

I've no issue with women breast feeding in public..

But a place of work is just that and children have no business being there..

I don't care how good she is at multitasking..

You can't give 100% to your job while also trying to give 100% to a baby..

And this just reeks of attention seeking..

Far far worse than anyone's clothes IMO is the inebriated state of several TDs that can sometimes be observed when late voting actually means coming back to the Chamber after a night of drinking at the Dáil Bar.

Remember when a married TD forced another (female) TD onto his lap in front of the TV cameras. Drink was the excuse given, which shows just how divorced from normal rules of professionalism our elected representatives are.

But yes, your point is correct. Is it a good thing for society in general to effectively force women to choose between motherhood and any demanding profession?

What, in practice, should an elected representative do when she has a baby?
Give up work and cause a by-election? Or give the baby to a full time carer?
I mean it's not a 9 to 5 job, right?

Same as everyone else has to do.. Hire a nanny..

I've always been led to believe by stay at home mums (and Dads) that it's a full time job and having raised 2 kids myself I wouldn't disagree.

How do you successfully manage 2 full time jobs and give your best to both at the same time ?

You can't..

So you don't think that particular politician was attention seeking?

You can't..

You may have missed my last sentence : being an elected representative is not a normal 9 to 5 job, and IMO limiting it to men and childless women is not a good thing for society as a whole.

There are late night sittings, witness the Dail Bar incident I mentioned earlier, and people are required to be present for important votes irrespective of other commitments. MPs have actually been brought into Westminster by ambulance to vote in some cases. So it's nothing like just hiring a nanny for a normal job, unless your nanny is a slave who is available 24/7 as and when you need her.

If however your point is that no woman can be a good parent and practise anything other than a pocket money job, as you seem to imply, well we'll just have to agree to differ.

So what ? Who said anything about limiting it to men and childless women ?

Lots of us don't have normal 9-5 jobs. We find workable solutions to manage both parenting and job.. Bringing a baby to work is not a workable solution. You can't mind a baby and work at the same time.

Well you can try but something has to give somewhere..

I know nothing about her except that she's an elected representative and she has a small baby.

Your two sentences seem entirely contradictory to me though. Could you explain?

Is someone who breastfeeds in a restaurant attention seeking, an allegation which is also par for the course? Are you saying people are wrong to call that attention seeking but that you're right to do so, and if so, what makes you sure you're right about her but they're all wrong about other women?

Either breastfeeding is acceptable in public and people should mind their own damn business or it's not.

Calm your tits('scuse the pun). There's lots of things that people do in public that may not be practical or appropriate to do everywhere at any time.

You've such an obvious chip on your shoulder about this and are shooting so instantly to straw manning and shoving words in peoples mouths that it's not worth debating with you.

Good job she's not based here.
You'd have all the old men giving out that she should stay at home and feed the baby.
Other people would be calling her an attention seeking whore.
Then if she did stay at home and take 6 months off for maternity etc you'll have everyone screaming that she's not doing her job and she needs to be let go and replaced by a man who will do it without any of the dramatics.
