Breastfeeding is unfortunately still a very contentious issue for a lot of people. Facebook in particular are very embattled by people who - rightly - believe breastfeeding is something that should be regarded as completely normal and appropriate in any context.

Some countries are better at dealing with this than others, but I don't think Europeans are perfect on the matter either.

I'll agree with that, usually the pictures are a little more discrete though, but I guess the larger issue is, should they have be more discrete? I think it all depends on context.

The irrational fear of breasts is silly enough on its own, but I find it offensive when people take pains to bother babies and mothers with their weird sense of morality.

>should they have be more discrete?

Like how? Do you want mothers to retreat to a disgusting public restroom to feed baby?

Most mothers that I've seen publically breastfeeding have a light cloth that they drape over themselves. Portable, cheap, and effective.

Do you want that to be law? It's what my wife usually did with our children. Our friends' child though, refused to feed under a cloth and would cry or thrash until the cloth was removed.

Oh no, I wasn't weighing in to the argument in that respect!

I was merely pointing out that "going to a disgusting bathroom" is far from the only concealment option.

Not at all, I was merely commenting on the state of the argument I've heard the most, i.e. - "Breast feeding is natural, why should this be censored at all"
