Why are so many people against breastfeeding?
I’m not a mom yet but I’ve noticed that women who breastfeed in public sometimes get evil looks and nasty comments. I’ve also seen some very hateful remarks about breastfeeding on this forum. So I’m just trying to understand why there is so much negativity towards breastfeeding moms.
I grew up with my mom and aunts who all breastfed in front of me so I guess it never really bothered me. But I want to know what is so offensive about it that people are compelled to verbally assault a woman feeding her baby in a park (I saw this a few weeks ago which has spurred my curiosity in the subject) I want honest answers (and I won’t judge those against breastfeeding) because I really want to understand this. Thank you. 
When you figure it out, please track down an ex-friend and tell her!! She DID verbally assault me for nursing my daughter in public!! 
Mind you, the time she was referring to was when my baby was only 3 months, so I wasn’t a pro at nursing publicly by ANY means. She said she saw my breast, as did the people we were near, and was “horrified” by it. Um, right.
We all have breasts, even some men!! LOL! I would venture a guess that those who are grossed out by breastfeeding have body issues, and view breasts as solely sexual. It’s a major cultural problem! Breasts are ONLY acceptable to sell beer, cars, Doritos, etc….SIGH.
I’ve nursed in public countless times without a blanket, and I never took my top off and shook my boobs in peoples’ faces, so I’m not sure what the fuss is!
