Did you think it was just men who had a problem with women breastfeeding in public? Well, think again. Stupid, Victorian, vulgar prejudice lives in the hearts of women too.

My wife - the mother of our 5 month-old daughter and 4 year-old son - just spent the morning shopping in Sainsbury's with the kids hanging of each arm.

By the end of the agony of the miles of aisles and the trauma of the tills, our baby daughter was going bananas with hunger. Screaming the shop down. And no one likes that, right? That's the kind of thing people hate. So my wife, now burdened with a massive shop of nappies and post-natal paraphernalia, took the chance to sit down at the Sainsbury's cafe and feed our daughter.

With her breast.

Just like this woman.

Foul isn't it? I should mark this post #NSFW or something. My stomach's turning just looking at it. What was my sick bitch of a wife thinking? Fortunately there were people there to set things straight. Fortunately for Broken Britain, at Sainsbury's there were good, decent people there ready to step up and shout at my wife for being so disgusting.

"You're disgusting! You shouldn't be out!" yelled the first voice of righteous opprobrium: an old woman. "Go home! That's disgusting!"

Now, my wife's not only depraved, but also stubborn (barely loveable, I know - I only stay for the sake of the children). So she didn't stop the breastfeeding debacle at this protest. Instead she looked around and probably treated that goodly old woman like an archaic anomaly - a crazy person, if you will.

All the while, my baby daughter continued to suckle like some sick, cannibal porn star.

Luckily, for Sainsbury's cafe; for society; there was another woman there - a younger woman, who looked my wife in the eye and told her clearly that she was indeed "disgusting" and "a disgrace", directing my wife to finish her fucked-up feral affront to civilisation immediately or leave.

By this time, my wife was finally starting to feel some shame. But a young man chipped in to her defense - he suggested that my wife wasn't being so disgusting and that this breastfeeding was a perfectly natural act, and maybe she should be left alone to care for our daughter.

Clearly this guy was a pervert who just wanted to look at my wife's tits. The righteous women gave him short shrift and he fell to silence.

The braying and barracking continued until my wife saw the error of her ways and put her obscene breast back into her clothing - YES CLOTHING - IT'S WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE BEASTS AFTERALL!

My wife left swiftly; my daughter distressed and still hungry; my young son musing silently upon the lessons he had just learned about the foulness of the human body, the need to suppress and oppress the weakness of vile flesh and its needs, and something more of the shameful nature of his degenerate mother.

Here, in a country whose top tabloid newspaper leads its inside pages with a new topless girl every day, we can safely say that there are still corners, pockets, enclaves of decency remaining.

Fuckers.

***Additional note; 13.06.10*** Some Twitter comment has aimed some ire at Sainsbury's. This post is no way a finger-pointing at Sainsbury's or their staff, who had apparently been brilliant helping my wife with the shopping before this incident occured. This was the customers of the cafe who picked upon my wife; sadly there was no one to step in from Sainsbury's, but that's not necessarily their fault. Thank you to everyone who has read this and offered kind words of support. Dan. ***
