This is the tale of one city, two sets of breasts, and two very different reactions.
Case One:
A topless barber shop has recently opened in Cairns, in an attempt to delight the city’s male population. The owner of the business, Emma Gelling said, in the Townsville Bulletin, that the store was “designed as a bit of innocent fun for the city’s single men.”
Case two:
A young mother breastfeeding her child in a department store was asked to leave the store as an employee allegedly told her it was against company policy to breastfeed in the store as it was offensive.
Onlookers claimed the breastfeeding mother was wearing a green cloth over her shoulder and thus her breasts were not visible. The woman in question declared on social media that she was and continues to be “pretty upset” by the ordeal.

I saw a man sporting a very decent bra-worthy set of breasts at the pool the other day. Why is there no problem with him wandering about parading this impressive set of mammary glands and a woman using hers for what they're designed is a problem???
I must have been very lucky, I breastfed two babies and never once had an issue. We just need to keep on educating and informing people that mothers should be supported to feed their babies... breast or bottle.
