It is the only way out in some situation

Why they can't just see it as a film is what i don't understand. Same thing has been done to some Jesus films and people didn't go out killing other people.

Very immatured mind i tell ya.

Gone are those days of hiroshima and Nagasaki and the rest. I mean one little "fat boy" might have taught them some lesson not to play with Uncle Sam.

RIP to the dead.

I really don't know what to say here. I think women should be given more flexibility at work. Stay home if baby is sick/can't find sitter.
I think she could have rounded up the class. We all like that half day to go chill at Java cafe anyway.

I'm a fan of breastfeeding but can't imagine feeding and teaching college student

Feminist Anthropology Professor Blasted for Breastfeeding During Class

Anthropology professor Adrienne Pine. (Photo: American University)It's a dilemma that many working moms face: What do you do when your child is too sick to go to school but you have a can't-miss obligation at the office?

For Adrienne Pine, a single mom and an assistant professor of anthropology at American University in Washington, D.C., the choice seemed clear. When her infant daughter woke up with a fever on August 28, the first day of Pine's class on Sex, Gender and Culture, Pine decided to bring her baby along.

Everything went smoothly for the first part of the 75-minute long lecture. Little Lee hung out happily for a while, strapped to her mom's back, crawling along on the floor by her feet, and being held and rocked by a teaching assistant, who insisted on helping even after Pine told her that babysitting wasn't part of the job description. But then the baby grew restless. Without stopping the lecture, Pine breastfed her child briefly, and the baby fell asleep.

The next day, Pine discovered that some of her students had complained. And she received an email from a reporter at the school newspaper asking to "discuss what happened in class." What started out as a run-of-the mill working mom's dilemma has since mushroomed into a massive discussion about breastfeeding in the workplace.

Pine, who describes herself as a militant medical anthropologist, says that she wishes the incident wasn't considered "newsworthy." In an essay she posted this week on Counterpunch.org, she writes that she has always tried to distance herself from lactivism, sees the benefits of both breast and bottle feeding, and doesn't think of breastfeeding as "a sacred or delicate feat." She breastfeeds her own child, she explained, "because it's a guaranteed food supply for my baby when I'm traveling, it's free, I can, and I hate cleaning bottles. … it has just been the easiest way (for me) to make sure the baby gets fed."

"I had no intention of making a political statement or shocking students," she says she told a reporter for The Eagle, the school's newspaper. (Pine did not immediately respond to a request for an interview with Yahoo! Shine, and has declined to speak to other news outlets. The Eagle has not yet published their story.)

"If I considered feeding my child to be a "delicate" or sensitive act, I would not have done it in front of my students," Pine wrote. "Nor would I have spent the previous year doing it on buses, trains and airplanes; on busy sidewalks and nice restaurants; in television studios and while giving plenary lectures to large conferences." Pine, who has worked at American University for four years, says that the controversy has created a hostile working environment for her.

Some students were unfazed by the feeding. "She did what she had to do. She's a mother, and she needed to take care of her child," sophomore Nia McCarthy, who was in Pine's class that day, told WJLA-TV. "I don't think anyone was too distracted. She let us know that she was about to do it, so I wasn't too surprised. I think she handled it in the most professional way that she could."

Other students -- male and female -- disagreed.

"I feel like it was really unprofessional of her," Jeff Williams, a senior, told WJLA. "I feel like she should have at least stepped out of the room."

"I think what's inappropriate is that she brought her child to class in the first place," said sophomore Sarah Mireles. "It's very distracting to a lot of the students."

Officials at American University said that the school does not have an official policy about breast-feeding in class, but seemed to weigh in against Pine's decision to do so.

"A faculty member's conduct in the classroom must be professional," the university said in a statement on Tuesday. "Faculty may maintain a focus on professional responsibilities in the classroom by taking advantage of the options the university provides, including reasonable break times, private areas for nursing mothers to express milk, and leave in the case of a sick child."

"We're guided by federal and DC law, which do not prohibit or allow breast-feeding in certain environments," university spokeswoman Camille Lepre said in a second statement. "For the sake of the child and the public health of the campus community, when faced with the challenge of caring for a sick child in the case where backup childcare is not available, a faculty member should take earned leave and arrange for someone else to cover the class, not bring a sick child into the classroom."

In a country where female soldiers are reprimanded for breastfeeding while in uniform, is it fair to assume that breastfeeding at work -- even a feminist anthropology class -- would be OK?

pslms, i love that your thread. I read it though not sure i commented. i read it cuz i'm a crazy fan of medical stuff.

it will be hard, but this too shall pass with time. Time is the only healer.
Not sure what divorce looks like but the thought of it is scary.

ezotik, i agree. that takes a village to raise a child will not work. i mean if you have money, contribute to your society/community.

why must i expect the village to help raise my child?

see as those villager raising the child also molesting the child without parents knowing.

well, odi egwu.

Nice thread. But why must you follow the african way of doing it while living in the West?

I think it is the reason why they get african child so twisted. my culture my culture only for the child to get to college and let loose. go to campus and see the ones their parents try to raise the african way in America sigh .

Raise your child to follow the good of the environment you live in.

African culture is not all that. what culture, the one that pick the boys over girls? one that beat the crap out of you for some minor mistake? one that rap.e girls and film it? the african culture is drawing people back if you ask me.

culture culture is all i hear but i don't see some good thing coming out of it. the West isn't that bad as long as you don't pursue money to the extend of forgetting to smell the roses.

Romaine lettuce
Cucumbers
Cherry tomatoes
Carrots etc
1 can of tuna (either in water or in vegetable oil)

Richvkunt: You like? I know you like IT.
The question is how do you like it?

Frankly speaking,you are begining to sound like a lesbo to me with all this anger and hate for men.

lol, what is bent? you mean bend Johnny? oh Jinx walahi this is funny

dayokanu keep quiet there

papa triplet

dayokanu: Hope she wont bother the husband with the upbringing if it was her sole decision to have a child

wondering how you can be on the offensive with china, a place you shipped American jobs to and empowered them
I sat all through. Really motivating and great speech. Bringing the country back to the glorious days gone by will be hard for either Obama or Romney who works for the big boys.

I don't know if we can blame Obama for the current war. One thing we know is the day we fold our hands, that day the crazy ones will run amok.
The watching eyes of America is why some axis of evil doers are yet to strike big, although they are really trying and working hard, but we are working harder. The military don't sleep, always deploying and our Ships, Submarines and Carriers are all over the world working and watching the 7 Seas. We are working 24hours all year round watching through the pin hole . We know what is going on around the world, the bokos, the terrorists etc but they are little/minor side effect and it is okay.

Obama is the lesser devil if you ask me.

God bless America
God bless our troops.

as long as she has a job, why not.

He made me the lady of the Manor. He gladly gave me access to everything. No secret.

Also make sure either of you use birth control. both of you can manage as you both pursue your dreams.

cook beans and moi moi all the time, add purge to his favorite meal.
anytime he feels like it, the otolo will make him forget.

OP, have a meeting with him. Ask him if he is happy in marriage. If he says no, please free him but make sure he pays child support.
if he says he is happy but his abuna itches him so much, i think there are medication to dis-h.orny him.
if he says he is happy and want the marriage, give him rules to follow .
make sure you have a job and be ready for the final straw/verdict (from you)

Dasparrow, well done.
lol, Africans sold them for mirrors and cloves

lol, which one come concern exorcist with cute readers like moi

i don't know how an adult can starve another adult.

it maybe hard to serve him/her food when you both arguing. But the other person can always go warm food and eat when hungry.
if there is no food at home, the other person can go shop and cook.
also the other person can order take out (resturant is all over the place in 2012).

always look for way to resolve issues and learn to apologize to each other.

interesting ummmm

getting abused (slap, pinches, blow, star studded slap) etc in nigeria setting i can oh well.
but getting the same in obodo oyinbo and still continue to play the good ol' wifey puzzles me.

always call the cops for a violent person. it helps bring their head down/get them humbled and programmed.

OP, i hope your friend knows how to dial the cops number on her cell if the house phone is far off .

african women should get more crash courses plus classes on how to deal with african guy 101 while oversea etc doesn't matter if he is a doctor or cleaner.

i mean the oyinbo police are your friend why wait?.

a course taught to undecided majors/freshman class
first year, a time to eat and sleep and learn just about anything.
