<p>Not just any breastfeeding, <em>sexual breastfeeding. </em>You get some pretty marginal types in the nursing ranks sometimes, but it's not very PC these days. I love how the newspaper dredge up sexy selfies because that has anything to do with it</p> -

Mum ordered to stop 'sexual' breastfeeding, told to go behind hospital curtain

<p>A young mother was told to stop publicly breastfeeding her four-month-old son while in hospital as it was deemed to be "sexual".</p>
<p>Darcie Pennington, 18, was visiting her grandmother at the Royal Liverpool Hospital when she started feeding her son Vincent.</p>
<p>She was approached by a female nurse who told her to move to a private room so as not to make other hospital visitors "uncomfortable".</p>
<p>"I went to sit down with my nan and feed my son, shaking and very upset," Darcie wrote in a Facebook post.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"The nurse then came over and slammed the curtains shut, telling me that I couldn't feed him as there were males I would make feel uncomfortable.</p>
<p>"I asked her why I was being targeted and why she wasn't promoting breastfeeding as a nurse I thought was strange, she told me she was protecting my dignity.</p>
<p>"I then asked her if I was feeding him a bottle would I receive the same treatment - she went on to say, 'bottle feeding isn't sexual.'</p>
<p>"Appalled by this comment I asked her what she found sexual about a baby having something to eat from his mum.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"I then had another nurse come over to me and felt very confronted and harassed.</p>
<p>"Me and my mum quickly got our belongings and left."</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deputy chief nurse Colin Hont apologised on the hospital's behalf saying: "We are aware of a complaint made by Ms Pennington in relation to visiting her relative who was recovering on a ward that is primarily used for recovery from breast and eye surgery.</p>
<p>"We have apologised for the distress that has been caused and we are currently looking into the matter and would be happy to discuss this further with Ms Pennington.</p>
<p>"We fully support breastfeeding and visitors to our hospitals are welcome to breast- feed where they choose to and feel most comfortable," he added.</p>
<p>"We also offer private spaces for mothers who wish for privacy when breastfeeding. We work to maintain the privacy and dignity of all our patients and visitors."</p>

He's been rejected a couple of times - hasn't spent enough time in Australia because he films outside regularly. -

<p>I remember living in Sydney in 2003 and Rars did a "homecoming" tour with his ( awful ) band "Thirty odd foot of Grunts"....anyway you can imagine what some creative graffiti artists changed the last name to with a black marker. Someone did it to ten posters all beside eachother on the top of oxford st. Talk about dedication.</p> -

<p>Its more people tend to follow sport that they have been born into, or that suits them in their ability to pick up & play. Pre 1990 basketball was non exisitant in NZ, and we are, you know, not genetically pre-disposed to playing it, and not watching it & thinking "they are just like me!!". So its odd how its become so huge. If you look at soccer in NZ it was tiny, then we had a big wave of Poms come in and try to coach it & its still not that big. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the states there is a long term following, they pretty much invented it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not saying its a disaster that people love it, I'm just trying to get the reason for the rise. It'll probably track back to Sky NZ or Channel 3 or someone fishhing round for cheap filler in the early 90's & getting offered the NBA on the cheap because they wanted to hit more markets. So they promoted the fuck out of it, Nike did a huge Air Jordan push & viola. </p> -

<p>Still not sure I buy that, I mean what exactly makes us genetically more adept at playing rugby than other nations ?</p>

<p>Soccer argument is tenuous as well, more people play that than Rugby in NZ.</p> -

<p>My point on that was that soccer was nowhere till we had a big influx of poms. Almost all our senior coaches were pom immigrants in the 80's. Same in Aussie where a big Greek migrant popualtion in the 60's & 70's formed the basis for their soccer community. Much of the last 30 years half the soccer-roos were Popadopalous's.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Genetically? You mix the sort of genetic stock that could survive 6 months on a boat, farming, a high % of manual labour style jobs, Maori genes, and Islander genes you end up with a pretty good rugby template.</p> -

<p>Islander genes have only been a factor relatively recently, I don't see that as a major factor personally. Every single race on earth did it tough with "manual labour" type jobs so NZ is hardly unique there either and the farming example is a bit poor too. Lots of farms all over the world in countries that suck at Rugby......</p> -

<p>In most countries the hard labour of clearing & fencing an entire country was done 2000 years ago. And NZ was predominantly farming / manual labour until pretty recently, mopst other nations thats not the case. Its the same reason white SA works for rugby. You have a genetic group based on people who did that work & could survive it.</p>

<p>"Lots of farms all over the world in countries that suck at Rugby"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You are missing the % of the popualtion bit. Its like saying "lots of countries have beaches, why do beaches make Aussies good at water sports!" and ignoring the % of the population living near beaches. </p> -

Diet helps enormously. You're not going to make many rugby players on rice or lentils.<br><br>

<p>This is about the way Samoa has become an NFL production line, cause they are, you know, sort of perfect. Same deal.</p>
