My mom brought to my attention an article that went viral today about the Nurse-In scheduled for this Saturday. (here is the link for those who haven't heard). I think there is a general distaste for breasts in this country that I do not understand. I will be attending Nurse-in in support for these women. I do not have a child but I was breastfed when I was a child and I think it is within every women's right to feed their child in public. I understand the Hirshhorn was not responsible for these two contractors that asked the women to leave, but that is not the point. What's more important is that they thought this was wrong, and in fact they were breaking the law asking her to leave. Women and mothers need to know their rights and I think the protest needs to take place for awareness.
On a side note, I want to visit the Hirshhorn and the Smithsonian anyway! So it's all good!
