A new mother has received praises after she hit back at a cruel man who lashed out at her and said that he ‘did not consent’ to seeing her breastfeed her baby.
The 26-year-old woman was on a day trip with her friend, her friend’s boyfriend, and his friend, L.
They had a beautiful morning, ate lunch in a nice restaurant, and went to a park where her newborn baby started to cry and needed feeding.
“We were at a park area, so I just sat down on a bench that was relatively out of the way, and started feeding,” the mother explained on Reddit.
“My friend and the others were taking some pictures, so I kept our bags next to me to watch them.
“L decided to come over to grab something from his bag, but when he saw me breastfeeding, he got sooo p***ed. He made a face and demanded I stop feeding because he didn’t consent to seeing my nipples.”
The shocked mom apologized but pointed out that she was sitting out of everyone’s view. But he started insulting her and she got so embarrassed that she was forced to move away to feed her daughter.
“It was a bit awkward after that, and I just told my friend that I was going to go back home and left,” she added.
But she saw the group again in a recent gathering for her friend’s birthday. When she arrived at the party, she saw L who rudely told her: “Urgh, not you again.”
“There was an arm-wrestling contest between the guys, and L lost to my friend’s boyfriend. He started getting a little angry, and asked for a rematch, before ripping his shirt off, and started flexing to prepare,” the mother continued.
“I was honestly grossed out, and when he saw my face he asked me ‘what crawled up your a**?’ I got a little mad and responded, ‘please put your shirt back on. I didn’t consent to seeing your nipples.’”
“He said, ‘that doesn’t work because I’m a guy.’ I asked him how it was different, and he just rolled his eyes. I was getting more angry now and just repeated, ‘please put your shirt back on.’
“It dissolved into an argument that ended with him calling me a b****, crazy feminist, and an uptight a**hole. Later my friend told me that I probably made too much of a fuss over a shirt.”
After her friend’s remarks, the mother-of-one was left wondering if she had done the right thing by confronting L over the issue.
One Reddit user commented: “If I were you I wouldn’t be friends with that group anymore, your friend clearly doesn’t have your back and who hangs out with an a**hole like this L guy anyways? If a guy treated a friend of mine like that he wouldn’t be welcome anymore.”
Another wrote: “Well played on the comeback, many would have not come up with that on the spot. Guy is a jerk, your friends will figure it out or you’ll find better friends.”
A third said: “He sounds like a bitter misogynistic little boy. Good job mama! You handled him well.”
