“Chinese society has long regarded public exposure of one’s body with conservatism and taboos.” Erm what about the kids who have the split trousers that expose their behinds? In Beiijing, I have seen grandparents and parents happily allow their precious little brats urinate and deficate in public: streams of piss flowing across the floors of subways, and to my utter disgust, a child taking an actual sh*t in a take-away box in a train station – and their parents just look on.
Its fine to breastfeed in public. When you gotta go, you gotta go, but one could try to be a little more discreet? As a woman, a bumpy subway, swarming with commuters hardly seems to be a desirable place for such an acitivity. The mother could have gone to one of the subway station’s bathrooms, where she would have more privacy.
