- If it were me I would politely tell them that if me feeding my hungry baby bothers them then they should simply look away. I wouldn't be surprised if it created a bigger issue, but that's what I would say. I'm not a mother so I really don't know. All I was trying to say was that I could understand the other side, I am not anti breast-feeding in public.
That sounds like you're pretty pro- breast-feeding in public. Or, at least, when it's you. Since your reply isn't "I see your perspective, I guess this could be construed as really obscene, a mother feeding her hungry baby. Allow me to go do it in a dark room somewhere."
To be frank, your replies/stance remind me of women who say "I wouldn't call myself a feminist" and proceed to agree that women should receive equal pay when they do the same work, not pay more for the same services, and not be blamed for being raped. I can (somewhat) understand the 'taboo' in admitting to feminism (mainly because people - women and men - don't seem to understand what feminism is) but on this issue I don't see the problem in saying exactly what you just did - the part in quote there - and concluding "Yepp, I'm pro-this." Why be ambivalent?
