I don’t know where you get that “older men don’t like to see women nursing without cover”.
My grandfather relates that when he was a kid, you saw women nursing in public all the time and no one thought anything of it.
I’ve travelled in many countries and seen women nursing in public in all kinds of settings, no one notices at all. It’s ubiquitous.
It’s our hypersexualized and politicized culture that makes people see breastfeeding in any other light than simply feeding a baby (or a militant act).
Most women are quite modest, and you might actually see nipple for less than a second before it is given to an appreciative baby (if you are looking).
This is a natural and, formerly, ubiquitous act.
How disturbed does your psyche have to be before you think this is an act that the participants should be ashamed of, the sight of which offends you?

Well, maybe it was where he lived. My FIL nearly blew a gasket the day we all went out to eat and there was a lady breastfeeding. She was covered and all of us told him that she could have been exposed so he just looked away. He explained that most men in his group “hate to see that”. He was born in 1921.
My Dad, who was born in 1929, had many a discussion with my sisters about how he was uncomfortable with women breastfeeding. Both of them, and friends who came over, would be shown a bedroom to nurse.
And in fact, my Grandmother in law even stated that nursing disgusted her. She bottle fed her kids as all women of class did. I found that pretty amusing of the old woman who was 97 at the time.
As for it being our culture, well yes, it is. America is a pretty nice place.
