"...breast...child feeding body appendage into a sex object-..."
I think that we women have to understand that men do not see breasts as "child feeding body appendages". Breasts ARE sex objects to them. I think it is perfectly normal for most men to feel uncomfortable when a woman breast feeds in front of them. I'm not saying that breast feeding in public is necessarily wrong, but we should not discount that fact that most men are uncomfortable about it. I chose not to do it in public and had no problem finding a "private" place to feed my babies. Other women may feel otherwise and that's OK too.
Most men might see it that way, but it is nonetheless, silly. Especially since I have never in my life seen ANY woman "flop it out" to feed her child. My husband wasn't uncomfortable with it at all. I had two babies, ten a half months apart, and finding a "secure" place to nurse just wasn't always on the agenda. I think men need to grow up a little.
