Ew, just ew: ‘Family values’ Republican: Men should be allowed to grab breastfeeding women’s nipples

[catbyte]

A self-described “pro-family” conservative said on Facebook he should be allowed to grab the nipples of breastfeeding mothers if a law banning women exposing breasts in public didn’t pass. New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore (R) deleted the comment, but it was archived and posted by Slate.

The comment was made in a squabble over proposed legislation that would make it a crime for women to expose their nipples in public. Currently in New Hampshire, both men and women are free to go topless, reports Slate. A bill sponsored solely by Republican men would change that, if it becomes law. A woman could be charged with a misdemeanor if she “purposely exposes the areola or nipple of her breast or breasts in a public place and in the presence of another person with reckless disregard for whether a reasonable person would be offended or alarmed by such act.”

New Hampshire State Rep. Amanda Bouldin (D) took to Facebook to criticize the bill and call out her male, Republican “small government” colleagues. That’s when things got awkward. Here is Moore’s response, including typos and errors.

“Who doesn’t support a mothers right to feed?” Moore responded. “Don’t give me the liberal talking points Amanda. If it’s a woman’s natural inclination to pull her nipple out in public and you support that, than you should have no problem with a mans [inclination] to stare at it and grab it. After all, it’s ALL relative and natural, right?”

If that wasn’t bad enough, Moore’s fellow Republican, State Rep. Al Baldasaro, chimed in to further harass Bouldin.

“Amanada, No disrespect, but your nipple would be the last one I would want to see,” Baldasaro said. “You want to turn our family beach’s into a pervert show. Liberterians want a nude beach, put your money together and buy one, if you want to expose you kids to nudity, go for it. Some of us liberty minded Reps do beleive in family values.” (misspellings his too)

Constituents criticized the law, and also the responses of Moore and Baldasaro.

“I have no words,” one woman wrote. “Unbelievable and discriminatory to women and babies … I’d be proud to be on the sex offenders list for breastfeeding in public and I’d rake the courts through the mud on national television!”

I swear, the Republican party is nothing but bigots and/or perverts...probably both. You can't get much more vile than this cretin.

1. It would be fascinating to see what the NSA has on his porn preferences.

On second thought? No, it would not.

[roguevalley]

22. his facebook page is hilarious

JOSH MOORE:

Lots of door knocking tomorrow! The Brown, Guinta and Walt campaigns are teaming up with each other and the Merrimack state rep candidates to blitz Merrimack! We are going to win this state and country back!

Carolyn SP: And Now, ya lost it, kiddo. Nice job. Back to your "no gurlz" treehouse soon, eh? Future is not looking bright for you...but remember, orange is the new black!

Peg Kneller: You sir are a sick twist and I'm sorry for New Hampshire that you were able to fool them into thinking you are anything but a misogynistic, minimally endowed moron. Now go cover your own nipples before someone touches them!

Lily Marlaina Gaboriault: You are one sick, and twisted idiot!!! How in hell did YOU get elected???!! Let me tell you, touch or grab one of MY breasts and you will be pulling my foot out of your crotch, SURGICALLY!!! Sick jerk!!! I hope the people of New Hampshire wake up and see the real you and haul you out of office!!!!( I know they MUST be ASHAMED!)

JOSH MOORE: Dropped literature off at over 500 homes yesterday. Busy, busy. All the hard work is going to pay off on Tuesday!

Dave Knight: 500 homes, out of those, how many contained women that you sexually assaulted? Sounds like a family values pussyfest!

Ashley Floyd: Here you are, you backwards, sexist fucking pig. You make me sick. Do you realize the rest of the world hears what you say? Being on the same coast is too close. Please move to Saudi Arabia. By the way Josh Moore, "then" and "than" are two different words, love. Go back to high school! How do idiots like you exist in adult workplaces?

EDITED FOR MORE:

Franka Smith: I feel sorry for the poor people, especially women who you say you will sexually assault if they breastfeed. If you can't keep your hands off women and think that women should be punished for breastfeeding by you attacking them, you are a disgusting pervert and should be behind bars, not representing anyone

Curtis Maes: Next time he runs for office there will be nipples drawn on those signs all across the great state of New Hampshire. I guarantee it.

25. Ouch!

[peacebird]

2. Why would anyone be offended or alarmed by a woman breast feeding a baby?

And why would any man feel empowered to take a mothers breast away from a baby's mouth in order to pinch the nipple?

[yardwork]

13. I noticed the word "alarmed" too.

[Nevernose]

3. What would happen if boys found out

...that girls have nipples, too? Chaos, that's what. Anarchy, riots in the street, wholesale death and destruction.



If children see this, then surely God must be dead! The end times are here!

[Initech]

4. Yet another where I sense a bizarre sex scandal in his immediate future.

Creepy. Just... ew. Creepy.

[Turbineguy]

5. No filter.

No shame. No sense.

[HassleCat]

6. At least he stopped at grabbing

I kind of expected him to push the baby away and do a little nursing himself. Guy sounds like a perv.

[leftyladyfrommo]

38. That's what I wondered.

There are guys how like to nurse. Seems just a little odd to me. Probably harmless but odd.

[juxtaposed]

7. LOL! The thing that kills me is this clown is from NH. Breast Feed or Die, is the state moto.

But why would he feel compeled to grab a nipple? I say free the nipple! He needs to move south.

[Ghost in the Machine]

26. "He needs to move south."... No thanks, you can keep him...

He's yours, y'all deal with him! We have enough of our own morons down here to deal with already.

Peace,

Ghost

[AwakeAtLast]

8. But, but, he said, "No disrespect"!

That means you get to spew whatever you want, right?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Yuck. Just ...........I'm speechless. n/t

[icymist]

16. Ever notice that these 'family value' men want breast-feeding women on a sex offender registry?

But no such registry exists for those who offend with guns or knives? And those could actually kill someone?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. WTF is the matter with these "men"?

Maybe they didn't get breastfed.

Besides, breastfeeding does not make the woman a sex offender!

[Egnever]

10. So if I am getting this right

He doesn't want women to breast feed because he is worried he or other males couldn't help but grab those boobs?

Sound like a family values dude to me alright. If family values means if not for clothing all that would be going on is men grabbing womens body parts.

[onecaliberal]

11. But but but what about the Baby?

These asshole go around talking about saving the unborn but they don't give a rip once they're born. Disgusting and pathetic.

[3catwoman3]

17. Exactly!

Excellent point.

[struggle4progress]

12. "We're family-oriented! We don't believe in feeding hungry babies!"

[Fantastic Anarchist]

14. It's okay. Women's nipples have a natural way of shutting down and punch him in the face.

[Blue Owl]

15. I think we know who the real boob is in this story

[3catwoman3]

18. He is multi-tasking.

A boob and an asshole!

[pnwmom]

20. And NH gets to be one of the most influential states in the primaries,

going months before states like California and New Jersey.

[Kalidurga]

21. It's weird

He says he is family values yet he is all for a man grabbing someone else's wife's nipples. Or is he saying as a family values guy he would be up for grabbing some woman's nipples even if that woman wasn't his wife? I am really confused by this as I don't have a perv to English translator.

[Ilsa]

23. gop men like making something sexual and dirty

Out of a baby's best food. They are puerile and disgusting.

[SheilaT]

24. Back when I was a breast feeding mom

I didn't give a flying fuck what anyone thought if I was nursing my baby in public. Lucky me, no one ever complained or tried to get me to go off to some dirty restroom. Not that I'd have done that. But if you're offended by the sight of a mother and baby doing what's natural, then DON'T LOOK. What's so hard about that?

Oh, I keep forgetting. Republican men think they should have the final say in each and every thing any woman ever does.

[phylny]

27. I nursed everywhere.

Even while coaching a church youth volleyball game.

No one gave a shit.

[MuseRider]

29. I did too, multi state nursing at that!

I never had a problem, maybe a look or two before I was able to get the baby to breast because he was crying but that was all. Women would usually walk by and smile or engage me in a short, sweet conversation. Men just avoided making eye contact and I really don't remember any of them even staring at me when I looked up. Apparently they used to be able to deal with this and control themselves.

So if you are feeding you baby and a man grabs your nipple it is your fault because he can't adult well enough to resist this puerile, childish behavior and you get put on the sex offenders list? It might become illegal to feed your baby in the natural and best way for the baby because the men can't look away or just walk by?

So we all have to stop doing natural things because men can't handle it?

I would say something clever and a bit insulting about a state that would elect a guy like this but I live in Kansas. If one of ours reads this or thinks about it I guarantee it will pass without much ado, there are not enough Democrats to even make a squeak.

[The2ndWheel]

28. I hate headlines

What's in the headline, and what's in his quote, aren't the same thing.

[etherealtruth]

30. "... then you should have no problem with a mans [inclination] to stare at it and grab it. "

Actual quote .... not any better

[ronnie624]

34. I think the word he left out is 'right.'

A 'right' to dominate and control women is an obvious underlying assumption in both his words and his worldview as a religious conservative. The headline is accurate, in my opinion.

[The2ndWheel]

35. Doesn't mean it needs to be changed

Men should be allowed to grab breastfeeding women’s nipples

"If it’s a woman’s natural inclination to pull her nipple out in public and you support that, than you should have no problem with a mans to stare at it and grab it. After all, it’s ALL relative and natural, right?”

If a quote is bad enough, there's no reason to make it say what it didn't say to make a point.

[seaglass]

33. Yeah, the guy is an asshole but he was not talking about breast-feeding moms. That was specifically

excluded in the law.

From Slate:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/12/30/new_hampshire_topless_bill_amanda_bouldin_harassed_by_sexists.html

A recently proposed bill, sponsored exclusively by Republican men, would make it illegal for a woman to “purposely expos[e] the areola or nipple of her breast or breasts in a public place.” (The bill makes an exception for breastfeeding.) Men would still be permitted to expose their nipples in public with impunity.

The Raw Story author is either dishonest, can't read or it's clickbait.

[MineralMan]

31. Someone should come up with a working way to

connect such Republican lawmakers' brains to their mouths.

[Renew Deal]

32. New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore and State Rep. Al Baldasaroa are woman hating perverts

I wonder if they asked their mothers about this law, though I bet their mothers are to ashamed of them to talk to them.

New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore and State Rep. Al Baldasaroa are authoritarian freedom haters and are anti-Liberty.

New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore wants to have the right to molest women that nurse babies.

New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore and State Rep. Al Baldasaroa are part of the American Taliban.

They are sick.

[awoke_in_2003]

36. I am an unabashed boob man

That being said, these "men" need to grow the fuck up. My god, it's breastfeeding, not sex acts on the dining room table.

[catbyte]

37. No kidding. How big a perv do you have to be to get off on a woman breastfeeding her kid?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, today's Republican party has attracted the dregs of society, bigots, misogynists, and preverts. I just don't get why people are electing these vile people for public office.

[seabeyond]

39. I was talking about the effects of pornification of our women, 5 yrs ago. Today is an example

of well and truly being there, for so many men.

Trump would be another , on a way different level. We will see so much more of it as Clinton rises.
