Gillette said she was seated in the second-to-last row, next to the window, when she began to breast-feed her daughter. Breast-feeding helps babies with the altitude changes through takeoff and landings, Gillette said. She said she was being discreet -- her husband was seated between her and the aisle -- and no part of her breast was showing.

Gillette said that's when a flight attendant approached her, trying to hand her a blanket and directing her to cover up. Gillette said she told the attendant she was exercising her legal right to breast-feed, declining the blanket. That's when Gillette alleges the attendant told her, "You are offending me," and told her to cover up her daughter's head with the blanket.From here.

Well. The flight attendant was offended. She/he was probably the only one to see it but she/he was so offended she/he had a mother and her daughter removed from the flight.

I suspect the flight attendant was a man but they don't say. In my experience only men are offended by a baby breasfeeding. Why? I have no idea.

Just assume something and run with it. While you're at it, assume a whole lot more. Why not?

I'll go you one further and make the supposition that the flight attendant was male...perhaps overly so...such as Trevor Ayliss.

Flight attendants have discovered that they are now one of the most powerful groups of people on the planet.

They can cause people to be arrested, incarcerated, prosecuted, and their net worth confiscated on a whim.

Not too long ago, their job was to make people feel comfortable and be pleasing to the eye.

Are there any STRAIGHT male flight attendents?
