Not everyone is uncomfortable with watching a woman breastfeed, but some people are, right or wrong.

I don’t think it would take much to be discreet, and it would be considerate of others.

If a woman wants to have her entire breast exposed, it is her right I guess. I just don’t understand why some women feel that is in impingement on their right to breastfeed anywhere they want, and they view a preference for modesty as an attack on their “rights”.

My hippie sister (who had her first baby at a squatter’s commune in Vermont right up near the border of Canada that had no electricity or running water) was especially militant about this kind of thing, almost humorously so...she would, dressed in her hippie garb (mother of Earth skirt and shawl) would stand with her feet apart and put her fist straight up in the air while shouting “BREASTS ARE FOR BABIES, NOT FOR MEN!” which caused me to both laugh and roll my eyes at the same time.

It sounds hilarious, but she was dead serious. She has always been an ultra-lefty, but..I don’t think she has ever voted once in her entire life.

I mean, really.

your sister is right.....God made men and women and gave us the ability to breed and for women to carry children and nurse them......

our western society has attempted to destroy all of God's work and it seems many freepers are against God's plan as well....

sad....but telling...

I always was discreet with my babies and felt I had to be hidden away when I was feeding them.....I am so glad that todays young women don't have to nurse their babies in the womens restroom....

Agreed - they should either cover up, or go sit in the lounge area in the ladies’ restroom, or leave the restaurant.

You’re right - it doesn’t take much to be discreet.

“If a woman wants to have her entire breast exposed, it is her right I guess.”

But not on private property of someone else that objects to the practice. The restaurant manager did the right thing. Then word got out and the national chain decided they didn’t want to offend the vocal crazies.

So the national chain said let it all hang out.

At least the restaurant manager didn’t threaten to have the government drop a nuclear bomb on the offender.

If that’s what she truly believed, then she should have cut off her breasts after her childbearing years.
