it’s interesting to hear different sides of this for sure. I am not against breastfeeding at all, I guess I personally feel slightly uncomfortable with seeing it, and being somewhat modest myself my initial comment was why don’t people just cover? Never having had children I didn’t know there were actual reasons you couldn’t cover, which was definitely interesting to hear.

That being said I feel uncomfortable when women wear tops where their boobs are hanging out as well. Interestingly enough midriff baring doesn’t bother me as much, not quite sure why**.

Conditioning.. There was a dupatta thread in F&B a while back where quite a few people said they wouldn’t feel comfortable not wearing it and found desi clothes “indecent” without yet most would happily wear a western shirt without a scarf.. Likewise some desis are perfectly fine with seeing a bare tummy in a saree but not bare legs or even sleeveless..

In general/all views another poster said something along the lines of “how would you feel if you saw your brother wearing shorts?” to try and illustrate the point of modesty at home but then again many (non desi) Muslims are used to seeing siblings in shorts.. It just depends on the environment you grew up in and what you’re used to.. Of course there’s a massive difference in religious terms between wearing shorts at home in front of your family and uncovering a breast in public though..
