It gives me no pleasure to report the latest skirmish in the Mama's Milk and Apple Pie wars.
There’s multitasking, and there’s taking leave of your senses. Last week, Genine Compton, a mother living outside Dayton, Ohio, drove her children to school. Apparently the youngest — who police believe is a little less than two years old — needed to eat. Right away. Compton is still breastfeeding, so she took the girl on her lap in the driver’s seat, and, without stopping the Honda minivan, gave the girl breakfast.Oh, she may also have been talking on her cell phone.
This is NOT a feminist issue. Had this interaction gone sour - multiple vehicle collisions, fatalities, and so forth - this woman would be a statistic and a contender for a Darwin Award.
Should there be a traffic violation category for people who drive under the influence of stupidity?

I'm all for a woman breast-feeding her infant in public, just as long as it's in a safe place. If a child is that hungry, is it that hard to pull over to the side of the road or find a parking lot so mother and child can do their business? Stupidity is an understatement in this case.
A feminist issue? Wow! If the woman was stopped for painting her toe nails while driving and chatting on her cell phone, would that also be a feminist issue?
What of a teenager pulled over for driving while getting a blow job and chatting on his cell phone? What left wing conspiracy gets credit for that?
