Another breastfeeding incident.

https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/brea...348786812.html

Quote:
It all started when Hilderman, wearing a breastfeeding tank top, decided to feed her son without a cover, she says. “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?’ My husband replied “Yes…” And then the flight attendant tossed a blanket at him (didn’t even hand it TO him, but tossed it AT him) and said tersely, ‘Then HERE, help her out,’” Hilderman wrote. “I had a blanket under my baby and a blanket draped across my knees and the plane was hot and stuffy… he wanted me to cover myself.”

I do not understand the need of women to breastfeed uncovered and I am in no way attracted to a woman's boobs sexually but I also don't want to see a baby attached to one either.

Seems like people in America get their collective panties in a twist over just about EVERYTHING!

She was just feeding her kid. Most of the rest of the world does not have a problem with this.

I'm a female but I understand it makes others uncomfortable. There's no reason she couldn't simply use a blanket. I didn't read the article but planes aren't "hot and stuffy" unless they're sitting at the gate or Tarmac. Once in air, the ac is always on, otherwise the aircraft wouldn't clear pre-flight maintenance checks.

The article says they still had not taken off yet

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.
