Would you feel uncomfortable seeing another woman breastfeed in public?

Question

I stand firmly behind women being able to nurse their babies in public! I actually went to a fair some years back when I had my first born. I was 17 years old and the nursery was filled but my boy was screaming and needed to nurse. I sat down on a bench away from the crowds and pulled out my blanket to cover him up but people still started making comments. I was terrified and doing everything possible to not cry right then and there. That's when this god send of a woman came up and sat beside me and said she was going to sit with me until I was done nursing because she saw how I was being treated and how upset I was about it. When people continued to make comments, she picked up her son and started nursing him as well, uncovered. Her husband came by and put his hands on both of our shoulders and no one made comments after that but continued to stare. So he said "Really? You dont agree with breastfeeding a hungry baby in public but you can openly stare at a womans chest no problem?" His wife was beaming with pride and I had never in my life felt as accepted as I did in that moment.

Breastfeeding has always weirded me out. I've never really been exposed to it since everyone in my family was formula fed. I get that it's natural or whatever but something about it just seems too personal to do around other people.

if she's like sitting on her table or park bench or whatever, not making a big deal out of it, that's totally fine.
if they're all about "hey look, i have a baby and i'm feeding it! notice me! i'm a good mom!", taking instagrams and making a conversation piece out of it, then no.

it's just like man spreading. if you're sitting alone on the bus manspreading, you do you. but if you're sitting in a full bus, not giving granny a seat while manspreading, you're a messed up asshole.

not at all and no i wouldn't be just trying to cop a look. its a no because breast feeding is natural and so good for the baby that none of us should make any mother feel uncomfortable for it

Why would anyone be uncomfortable about something so natural and normal?

If nipples must be hidden because they are distracting and guys must also hode their abs.

Who the hell wants to starve a newborn baby? They eat and go to sleep, duh. Eat=sleep=peace and quiet. We should NOT teach girls to be ashamed of their body. A breast should NOT be considered "privates". This whole topic is beyond fucked. Who can tell me any single ONE THING that would offend you about a mother feeding her child the way nature intended? Who is iterally gonna advocate starving a baby? Wtf is wrong with people? Get over yourselves. Shit.

I wouldn't care. I'd just mind my own business and continue on doing what I was doing.

I don't. But unless it's an 'emergency' - I find it pointless. You would be irritated if I'd have a pee right in front of you, right? Why? It's natural... :D
