I spotted this on Twiter earlier today twitter.com/jmc2488/status/516252542385524736

Basically this bloke thinks he has the right to photograph breastfeeding mothers and upload the photos to social media. If I was the mother in question WIBU to break both his phone and his nose?

Twitter obviously, not Twiter. Although in his case Twatter might be a better description.

What is his twitter handle?

Get everyone you know (and twitter users here) to report him.

AnyFucker · 28/09/2014 20:28

Social media won't host them. They will host porn, but not breastfeeding mothers.

He's barking up the wrong tree, like the fucking mongrel he is.

This guy is an immature idiot and am not siding with him at all.

But either breast feeding is obscene and should be done behind closed doors. Or it is a non-issue and you it's fine to do in public with people who may see you.

It can't be normal and just feeding a baby, but suddenly perverted when someone takes a picture.

Cariad007 · 28/09/2014 20:29

One can only hope that the gun in his profile picture is fully loaded...

Bigoldsupermoon · 28/09/2014 20:29

Disgusting little git - and we wonder why women feel paranoid about breast-feeding in public. Angry

Cariad007 · 28/09/2014 20:31

I think the point is more that he is taking a photo of her and her baby without her consent just for the titilation of him and his equally small-dicked friends.

phantomnamechanger · 28/09/2014 20:31

taking a photo of a breastfeeding woman is not pervy, no - plenty of proud dads must have done that! However, what is pervy is him obviously leering. He mentions it is a fairly good looking woman. He is inviting others to leer with him. Creep.

Alisvolatpropiis · 28/09/2014 20:31

So bulb you think it's fine he is taking photographs of women who have no idea they're photographed and then uploading them to social media? Irrespective of the fact they're breastfeeding, you think it is fine he is taking and uploading those photographs without the permission of the subjects?

That is quite frankly, bizarre.

Charitybelle · 28/09/2014 20:33

Urgh, this is why I hated public breast feeding. And for every twatty person who told me 'get over yourself, nobody's looking at your boobs, nobody cares' yeah right. This won't be the only guy thinking pervy things every time a woman gets her breasts out. Not that we should allow bellends like this to dictate how/where we feed our babies, but I resent people insisting that guys like this don't exist. They do...clearly!

Ilovexmastime · 28/09/2014 20:35

YANBU, that's so perverted.

"This guy is an immature idiot and am not siding with him at all." - You came so close, then biffed it on the reading comprehension.

From a moral standpoint of course what he's doing is wrong, I never implied otherwise. Kindly wipe the froth from your mouth.

That said, if you're out in public, you're in the public eye. If I was a photojournalist I'd have every right to take photos of people. If something is happening and people post photos of the event on twitter, it's a bit silly to say we need every person's permission to post a photo.

From a legal and practical stand point, you can't tell people not to take photos of strangers. Unfortunately, not everyone is reasonable and uses common sense about what is and isn't appropriate to photograph. These laws do account for the lowest common denominator, which means that although we have assholes making fun of people on places like peopleofwalmart, we also have instant news when a catastrophe strikes or there's a media blackout in a different country.

Social media is simply a tool.

What an enormous cunt. I wonder if the police wouldn't have a word? It doesn't look like he's anonymous

AnyFucker · 28/09/2014 20:43

With a bit of luck, some poor woman's partner will take offence and punch his fucking stupid mug

It's all these neanderthals understand.

spiritofthetime · 28/09/2014 20:51

What a wanker. Perhaps someone could follow him to the gents then posted a picture of his tiny dick online for us all to laugh at.

Cariad007 · 28/09/2014 21:27

Haha, that sounds like a plan!

Loveloveloveher · 28/09/2014 21:49

What a twat. I hate people who think it's acceptable to take photos of others for a bit of a laugh. Eurghh.

Hatespiders · 28/09/2014 23:37

He ought to go to W Africa. I've been to several countries over there and many women who are breastfeeding don't put their breasts away, they just let them hang out all the time so their babies can help themselves whenever they feel the need. Nobody takes a blind bit of notice. My husband tells me that breasts to an African are not in the least 'sexy', no more so than ears or hands. He finds it very odd, this preoccupation with breasts, cleavage etc. Now legs....!

This chap taking photos is pervy. Children playing on the beach are a natural sight, but a lone man taking photos of them would be stopped at once. Breastfeeding in public is perfectly normal, but taking photos and posting them online is not. As someone said above, an accompanying dad might knock ten bells out of him. I'd hold his coat if so...
