Breastfeeding in Public Vent

I've been watching the news where people are getting offended about women breastfeeding in public, it made me so mad. It's so stupid nobody gets offended when anyone else is walking around half naked showing their body parts in public but they just see a women feeding her child & it's offensive to the entire world. Funny thing is most of them were women complaining saying it's "disturbing" & that they should breastfeed in the restroom. Smh... I don't see how it's offensive.

I tried covering. My daughter hated it. She'd get too hot and sweaty and so most of our feeding time was spent fighting over the cover, drawing tons of attention to what I was doing and flashing my nipple every time she managed to pull the cover off. Eventually I just gave up. I nursed discreetly but not covered.
With this one, I don't plan to cover at all, based on my prior experience. Plus I'll have a two year old to watch out for. I won't have time to fight to keep a cover in place. The sad thing is, I covered around my in-laws even after I stopped covering in public. My hubby's family has very little experience with breastfeeding as his mom and grandmas formula fed. But I figure they are family abd they know what I'm doing anyway, covered or not! So this time, no cover. Like that one meme says "ain't nobody got time for that!"

People are stupid. Its because breasts are so sexualized. But when feeding a baby it's completely natural. These women are just insecure when another woman pulls out their breast. Its ridiculous.
