"You both call this exhibitionism. So could either of you point out any photo above where a mother has "flipped out" her breast?

You clearly didn't read the story. At the end (of course!) it notes that the protest started when a Delta stewardess asked a breastfeeding mother to cover her breast while she breastfed, not to stop breastfeeding.

"If you bother to read the threads following the original incident, you'll see that the article states that (a) the mother was nursing discreetly, (b) no flesh was exposed and (c) the baby's father was sitting between the mother and the aisle, also helping to screen off mother and child."

O spare me: Sitting aboard a New York-bound plane three hours late departing, Gillette was handed a blanket by the female flight attendant but removed from the plane - along with her husband and child - when she refused it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15833953/

Let's be clear. This is a bunch of whiners, not mothers. "No passengers had complained -- it was simply an officious stew...er, "flight attendant," who decided to throw his or her weight around."

Airlines (or any other business for that matter) do not need complaints in order to have corporate-wide standards.

" I nursed four babies, so I know it can be done discreetly. And it usually is."

And the airlines are fine with you breastfeeding so long as you do it discreetly. What part of this are you missing?

"(And btw, those four babies I nursed are all grown up now."

Blah blah blah...I'm totally FOR breastfeeding (my oldest was) I'm just against you or any other woman doing it indiscreetly. HELLO?

And look at the moms at the protest. They didn't even bother to cover themselves up.

One of my cousin is breastfeeding. Should have her give these idiots pointers on how to do it.

Show me any evidence that I "didn't read the story."

Clearly, you didn't comprehend my reply.

My challenge to you was to point out a photo above, on this thread, where a nursing mom had --as you crudely put it-- "flipped out" her breast.

The mom who originated the complaint WAS nursing discreetly. You have produced ZERO evidence she was not.

And no, it is not necessary to have a suffocating blanket thrown over the baby, as this officious flight attendant demanded, to be able to nurse discreetly.

Additionally, it does not appear to be a "standard" or a policy of Delta Airlines to demand a blanket on top of the baby, either.

Other articles mention that the pilot himself got off the plane to apologize to the mother for the attendant's behavior, and to beg the mother to get back on board.

Some people have an emotional problem that makes them irrational on this topic. I suspect you're one of them.

So this is my last post to you.
