First, I would like to start with a disclaimer: I'm not writing this to spite people. I'm simply writing an unpopular view that I have and why I have it. Every day on Facebook I see posts of people whipping out their tatas and feeding their babies and taking photos. They do it in restaurants, stores, public transport, etc. I am not opposed to breastfeeding. Whether you chose to breastfeed or bottle feed is your choice. However, I shouldn't have to look at your breasts because you chose to breastfeed.
Yes, breasts shouldn't be sexualized. Guess what? They are anyway so you have to get over it. If a guy whipped out his downtown appendage in the middle of public are you OK with that? Would you want your children seeing that? The answer, I would hope, is no. I didn't ask to see your boobs while I'm just trying to buy a pair of jeans or eat dinner. There are ways to breastfeed in public other than just whipping out your boob and sticking your kid's face on it. My mom breast fed me and my two younger siblings. However, she did it in a way that didn't ruin other people's day or publicly embarrass herself. She would have a special light cloth to drape over her breast and whichever child's head. It's so simple, yet you're not offending people and you're not forcing people to see your body. You can do whatever you want with your own body as long as it's not negatively affecting others, because that is just straight up rude and selfish.
I realize some people say, "But men get to walk around shirtless!" OK? Do men have prominent breasts like women? Those that do generally don't break them out in public. Your argument is silly. Yes, it's an unfair double standard. Life is unfair.
Another argument is that your baby can't be denied food. This makes sense! Why should we be allowed to eat in restaurants, but not babies? You can. Just use something simple like the cloth I mentioned before. It's discreet, polite, and really not that tough. Don't be immature and rude to push your own values on others. Just because you feel like breastfeeding and exposing yourself in public shouldn't be an issue probably doesn't mean that everyone else around you feels the exact same way.
Your tatas are your and your baby's affair. However, I shouldn't have to see your twins in public. If you wouldn't show everyone your breasts in public, then how is it OK to breastfeed without covering up at all in public? Should all public nudity be allowed? Just take into consideration those around you when breastfeeding because not everyone wants to have to see your boobs while they're eating dinner out.
