Really, this is offensive? I see more than that on non breastfeeding women all the time. I don't understand why people think this is a spectacle. Just don't look if it offends you or better yet if thy eye offends thee, pluck it out.

People are offended by it because they hate women and they feel like they should be able to exert control over all aspects of a woman's life. A woman breastfeeding in public is a demonstration of freedom and these authoritarian monsters are scared because it is just another sign that they are loosing control.

Wait a minute. She was on an airplane, right? I've flown quite a bit, and in my experience, I can't see much more than the seat back in front of me and the person sitting next to me. In this case, it would appear that was her husband. I have my doubts that anyone other than the flight attendant, because he was walking the aisle, could see what was going on. Everybody else would have been seated for take-off. The mother was probably using breastfeeding as a means to encourage the child to sleep through the flight. Good for her! The attendant was out of line.

That's naive. It may not change it for everyone but it's very possible feedback would be different if a group was polled

I didn't patronize you --I don't think that word means what you think it means-- I outright insulted your lack of intelligence. And I do agree, you should chew on rusty thumb tacks.
