I don't want to see boobs and nipples either and I'm a woman. Manners is the issue, some people don't believe in doing anything they personally don't want to do no matter how much they know it bothers other people. Those people are the worst and deserve to be shamed. Not for the boob, for the bad manners.
When you share your space with others you don't get to do whatever you want. Sorry everyone.
We've been through this. The woman was crammed into the center seat of an airplane with her husband beside her, blocking the view. The indiscreet would be anyone craning his neck to watch.
It is really troubling that you think breastfeeding a child is the same thing as urinating on a plane seat, nothing is being damaged or soiled by free breastfeeding, my fine feathered friend.
I'm simply going by your own logic which is that breastfeeding is natural so should be done openly in public. As I & others have mentioned, there are other actions that are natural as well. According to your logic, they should be done in public no problem. Live by your words.
I don't mind nudeness in general but popping out a boob in public is just bad manners. She could have breastfed and put a little blanket on her breast.
The flight attendant was a jerk, too. He could have handled it better.
Big deal. (Good post, thanks.) More advanced humans
in Europe have so few issues dealing with the human body it's ridiculous. The attendant
should be given a time and pay cut for not treating a passenger nicely and we need to get with it.
Why the heck does this even matter? “A male flight attendant named Keith walked up to our row and said to my husband (loudly, so that everyone around could hear), ‘are you two together?’ What a dope. This is a simple case of don't look and you won't be offended and what the heck can you see aisles back. Power play on the guy's part?
Women should be able to go topless if they feel like it. It wouldn't offend me, and honestly how many men would be? Some religious types, maybe.
The standard is not what offends your sensibilities, but what norms society has put in place.
Anyone man over 16 years old in a tank top offends, men over 70 in tightie whities offend me, obese people in Spandex offend me...... and so on, but the world need not conform to my individual tastes.

Then stay home. When you are in public you are subject to scrutiny.

You mean like not bathing on a regular basis and not knowing what deodorant is?

No, not according to my logic, it is according to your twisted logic, where you reckon urinating on a plane seat is the equivalent to a mother sitting quietly breastfeeding her hungry child.
I say breastfeeding is how hungry children are supposed to eat, do you not understand this? Do you not understand that infants have different feeding requirements than adults do?

You may want to rethink how you post your words if they're going to come back & bite you like this.
