Breastfeeding Social Experiment: Public Perception vs. Sensuality
In a revealing social experiment, content creator Alex Rivers tackled the ongoing issue of public breastfeeding and the mixed reactions it elicits. Last week, he shared a video that has since garnered over 15 million views, showcasing a mother breastfeeding her child in various public settings to reveal how bystanders react.
The results were disheartening. Many people approached the mother, voicing their disapproval and discomfort regarding her choice to breastfeed in public. This highlights a pervasive hypocrisy in our society—while some people are quick to criticize breastfeeding mothers, they often overlook or even celebrate women who display their bodies in a more sexualized manner.
To further illustrate this point, Alex decided to flip the script. He wanted to see how people would respond to women who flaunt their cleavage without any consequences. After all, the argument against public breastfeeding often revolves around the discomfort with exposed breasts. However, women frequently showcase cleavage in everyday scenarios without facing backlash.
It’s fascinating—and a bit sad—how our culture idolizes the female form, but only when it’s sexualized, youthful, and appealing to the male gaze. Heaven forbid a woman’s nipple makes an appearance during breastfeeding; it seems to send some individuals into a frenzy.
As one passerby in the video remarked, “That’s disgusting,” while others echoed similar sentiments. If you’ve ever read comments on articles discussing public breastfeeding, you’d know these opinions are all too common. Unfortunately, many still view breastfeeding as inappropriate, despite it being one of the most natural acts.
So, if the sight of a mother nourishing her child troubles you, maybe it’s best to keep those feelings to yourself—or perhaps seek some help. There are far more pressing issues in the world than a breast feeding a baby.

It reveals a culture that often embraces nudity for entertainment but shuns it for nurturing, highlighting a need for a broader acceptance of natural acts like breastfeeding.
