I'm sorry Shimmer, but breastfeeding or not, I don't want to see your engorged breasts/nipples in public. It has nothing to do with the baby eating and everything to do with showing yourself like that publicly is gross. Just because your lactating doesn't suddenly make it ok to put yourself all out there for everyone. I dont want to be eating in a restaruant as you flash everyone in sight because you have an urgent need to breastfeed at the dinner table. There is no reason that can't wait till after you leave the restaraunt, the baby isn't going to starve if you wait another 15 minutes to feed it.
I'm not saying don't breastfeed. I'm saying, when you do it, take into consideration everyone else around you. Because when you choose to do this, you need to understand that it's NOT a common sight, and it does make a lot of people uncomfortable. So if you are planning on doing it, be discrete, and use a little common sense on the locations you decide to do it in.

Again, hypocrisy.
You're the same person, the very same person, who has time and again stood up in this very site, and said that there's nothing wrong with dressing 'slutty' if it makes you feel good, or with wearing a super short miniskirt and a half top.
You're that person.
You're the person that says "So? If you've got the body flaunt it!!11elventy~!" and "There's nothing wrong with showing some skin!"
You've said that time and again, not only about adults, but about small children as well...saying that there's nothing wrong with a 'prostitot', or a nine year old dressing like a 22 year old club rat.
You're that person.
You.
Yet...when it comes to woman feeding her child in the most natural and God given way possible, you get squeamish, saying "I don't want to see that."
It works both ways, that sword. You can't have qualms about seeing a woman feeding her child yet tell people who don't want to see tits and ass everywhere to deal with it.
That's the hypocrisy, because you're trying to play both sides of the harmonica at the same time.
