      To keep people from accidentally walking in?

      You won’t mistake it for a closet if you have to enter a code to get in.

    I recently got to experience this glorious moment, and I feel this is the appropriate post to share it in.

          In all the years I’ve had this car, I never even noticed that. Thank you, I’ll never be able to unsee it now!

          It’s an '05 Monte Carlo, but damn good call!

          It was my grandfather’s car for much of its life. He only ever really drove it like a mile at a time before he was no longer able to drive. When he passed away a few years ago, I got it. For being a car that survived Sandy and sitting in several feet of salt water, it has held up astoundingly well. At the time, all it needed was an electrical harness replacement. Since I got it, other than tires, brakes, and routine maintenance since, I’ve only just had to replace the exhaust line last year. It’s been a damn good car, and I plan to keep it as long as I can!

      Niice.

      I just looked and I’ve got 593kms until I clock over to 80085.

      I will try not to miss it, but there is a solid chance I’ll look at 80086.

    It’s nice that mothers have a place like this, it’s horrible that they are needed.

    Conservatives and religion made this a necessity that mothers have to hide when feeding their children naturally.

      It’s also possible that some women simply want privacy and a calm, quiet environment to feed their baby, or pump breast milk.

      These rooms are more than just a door. They have tables, microwaves, mirrors, outlets and a number of other things that make feeding and pumping easier.

      Also, even in pretty progressive places, a lot of people just want some alone time and a dedicated place to deal with a kid or a clunky pump.

      Do you think? Whether conservative or religious, a lot of it comes down to sexualizing every aspect of a woman’s body, arguing that simply existing as a woman is too much for men to handle, and since men can’t be trusted to control themselves, it falls on the woman to hide her body from the men.

      We’re literally a hop skip and a jump to fucking burqas in Christianity, yet it’s far from just the religious conservatives who take part in this (image screamingly relevant).

        I think without the literal centuries of religious oppression a lot of these problems wouldn’t exist in the 1st place.

        Imagine a world where clothing is optional, where a man could kiss another man without any fear, where we weren’t scolded CONSTANTLY for natural feelings, natural habits, natural desires …

        Sure predation would still exist, after all we’re just animals, but I don’t believe that we would have the problems at the same magnitudes that we do today.

            Well overwhelmingly men were and still are in control of some of the largest oppression machines religions in the world.

            So even though I uNdErStaNd your reply, you’re still correct.

        Where do you think the general fetishization comes from? Cultures that demonize the existence of breasts and shapely asses.

        What cultures demonize breasts? Conservative religions.

        In cultures that do not promote shame over basic sexual attraction, nudity is no big deal. You’re trying to put the cart before the horse, which is just… really, really stupid logic.

      First sentence: wow I absolutely agree. It’s such a shame that mothers have to go back to work so soon after giving birth. We should work toward guaranteeing parental time off for all parents.

      Second sentence: yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah… Um… Nevermind.

      I have galactorrhea, pumping rooms aren’t a natural maternal family matter, for me, it’s a medical procedure.

      Privacy is a lactating person’s choice, and right. public feeding is a choice that I agree needs to be destigmatised. Personally I’m not comfortable with public pumping, because I see my breast milk as medical not nutritional, so I choose privacy for myself.

      It’s also difficult, it’s stressful, it’s uncomfortable. Having comfort, focus, peace and quiet, it’s important.

      I don’t even have a uterus, so getting my leaky chest out in public is even further from being socially acceptable. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had mastitis because I have not been able to expell in a timely manner. Partly that was because I was embarrassed by my condition and didn’t stand up for myself and my need for access to a pumping room at work, and part of it was because my employers didn’t understand my need for a private room, they pointed out that it’s never been a problem for mothers in our office to whip a tit out when baby was hungry, and/or that my need was different because the reason I I had breast milk at all was different.

      No one gets to expect me to be comfortable with nudity. My breast milk, my choice if I have privacy or not.

      I used to do it in the bathroom because I didn’t have anywhere else, but that was a gamble, do I let myself get an infection because I’m letting my ducts clog, or do I risk an infection by pumping milk in the toilets.

    I imagine the person trying to decide whether to use 8008 OR spell it on the keypad with corresponding letters like the meme with the guy choosing between two red buttons.
