As for the rest of your post, BS.
No, you're trying to make my post fit the foolish narrative that you came up with.

Peeing on a plane seat would only be acceptable if no other options were available.

And breastfeeding in public should be acceptable if no other options are available. But as we all know, there are other options. So, unacceptable. If you find breastfeeding natural, you should find peeing in public natural. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.

A glimpse of a female nip is not the same as anyone walking around nude, tho the only thing about that that would bother me is sitting where a strange naked butt just sat, sweat and excretions and such.

It is legal and acceptable for men to go in public topless, what's the difference in seeing a man nip and seeing a woman nip.

Do you find eating in public natural?

From what I can tell, the mother was being discreet. She was sitting in the middle seat in an airplane where it would be very difficult for strangers to see. She was also wearing a nursing tank which does cover some of her skin. The baby's head covers her nipple. I see nothing at all wrong with how she nursed her baby in public. The flight attendant was out of line. Babies need to eat. Not all babies will drink from a bottle or while under a blanket. I would think that people would be happy that this mother fed her baby instead of letting the baby cry. As an adult, I know that if I don't want to see something in public I can simply avert my eyes.

You are off your rocker comparing taking a leak on a plane seat to a woman feeding her child. Not to mention taking a leak in public can get you ticketed and breastfeeding in public cannot.

I have a comment with how the flight attendant handled it. He tosses the blanket and speaks to the man about it? As though the man controls his wife. What century was he born in?

I suspect, given his passive-aggressive hostility, that he's the one with the problem. Woman hater?

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.

Honestly, it wouldn't have bothered me at all. I could care less.

I just wanted to clarify that even "natural" things can make people uncomfortable.

The corollary to breastfeeding is eating. When you tuck into your airline snack while sitting next to me, should I feel free to void my bladder into the seat? I don't think so. You've committed the fallacy of false equivalency.
