You were probably correct about them being Bangladeshi. Though ironically Sudan, Bangladesh, and Malaysia are all Muslim majority countries, which makes me think that those types of social norms came into place because of the repressed sexual tension from the religious laws.

It's best not to blow your nose in front of others right across the East from China to Malaysia - especially at mealtimes. Spitting is much more acceptable. In China, people happily spit out bones on the tablecloth during meals.
I for one don’t want to see some chick breastfeeding next to me in a restaurant. It’s just disrespectful.

Oh so you are one of those yeah?
It's okay for you to eat in public but a mother cannot feed her child.
#ing dinosaur, wake up it's the 21st century ffs.
The sexualization of the breast, already underway by the 19th century, was accelerated by the World War II pinup girl poster, postwar soft porn such as Playboy magazine, and the popularity of such Hollywood icons as Marilyn Monroe. The result created an incongruity of the breast as a source of infant nutrition.
As breasts became more sexualized, they became less functional: more the purview of men as sexual objects and less the domain of infants and as a source of food. As this transformation continued, breast-feeding, especially in public, became less normal and more taboo, and by midcentury most Americans attached a vague sense of disgust to the practice.
Now that breasts were primarily sexual the idea of women breast-feeding infants, especially in public but even in private, felt abnormal and destabilizing. Modernity apparently did not include breast-feeding women; by implication breasts were for men and sex.

I personally think they should have blurred the dude's out and let the women's be, no one wants to see a guy's hairy nips.

In today’s age I don’t even agree with even having children. I think it’s selfish to bring more humans into an already strained ecosystem.

I think all nipples are acceptable, there is nothing more beautiful than the human body. Blurring them outranks painting fig leaves on paintings and sculptures.
