— -- Bring it, breastfeeding shamers.

A Florida dad recently took on naysayers in a video posted to Facebook that calls attention to the hypocrisy and absurdity of their requests.

The video shows the father of two, Brock Smith, sympathizing with his 9-week-old daughter by attempting to eat his lunch under the cover of a blanket. “I wish I didn’t have to eat with a blanket over my head,” he says, reaching around the table.

"As a dad and a husband ... I’ve had enough of this asinine argument," he captioned the video.

The video, which was then posted to the popular page Breastfeeding Mama Talks, has since been viewed more than 147,000 times.

“We just think it’s ridiculous that people have an issue with something women were created to do,” Smith told ABC News.

“We can't imagine having to eat underneath a covering,” he added. “The day the video was taken, it was 104 degrees. So for people who do have an issue, put yourself in the baby's shoes.”
