What I have is the balls to say out loud what everyone else is thinking: the person who complained about the userpic and prompted this whole post, the people who complained to the police about someone breastfeeding in Norwich city centre and made the regional news a few months back, the vast number of people who think it's deeply unpleasant but are far too polite to mention it. Or indeed too cowed by the rabid feminist rhetoric the practise seems to inspire in its supporters.
The history of my life is that I am the person who says what nobody else will, and I don't think this is any different. I'd have said it's the militant breastfeeders who have an issue, in that they appear to be expecting the whole world to change itself to suit them as opposed to working within the constraints of normality and thoughtfully managing their impact on other people.
