Trouble is, the "biological need" argument doesn't fly. Unless, of course, I can now pee on park benches because I have a biological need to urinate and why should I have to go to a special room to do it?

I agree that our society is too hung up over our bodies, but the argument in here should be "can women be topless in public?" The kid has nothing to do with it. Having a kid does not entitle you to special privledges. IMO if it's OK to see a man's chest in public, then adding some fat cells under the nipples should not require the person to put on a shirt.

But there are entirely too many people who say "yes, everyone else has to comply with societal norms, but I have a BABY and that means I'm exempt!" If a woman with a kid can expose her breast in public, then a childless woman should be able to as well.
