Today I witnessed a mother try everything she could to calm her crying baby in a bus(danfo) she was with her husband, who was naturally all caring and protecting, acting like he's some kind of guardian angel or something, well the baby was still crying and the mother somehow knew it was feeding time and knew what she needed to do, only problem was the man wasn't cool with letting the woman bring out her instrument to use in feeding the child in a public place, I really wasn't listening to them but it looks like the woman had motioned the man to help her with her zipper so she can feed their baby, but the man seemed to have objected that caused her to shout, "REMOVE THIS THING NOW, CAN'T YOU SEE THE BABY IS CRYING", and as if responding to a superior officer the angel on guard quickly undid her zipper and watched the little dictator as he drank or sucked.( I wasn't watching, I was only behind them). But the reason why I'm sharing this is because I for one am not so cool with public breastfeeding and have been thinking about it since I was in university, coz I really don't want my wife to be letting her things out like that in public. But what can I do ? What can men like me who don't like scenarios like this do ? What's your take on it.

He directed his gaze downward while Presiding Judge Richard Lussick read the sentencing statement, which began with a horror cabinet of carnage committed in Sierra Leone by rebels from the Revolutionary United Front, which the former president backed. "The accused has been found responsible...
