I don't think anyone is against it, people are however, taking offence to it being done in public, even if done discreetly.
SEMANTICS You know what I meant

No.. But at the same time I wouldnt sit there and tell a woman how "Not" to use them!
How did he not see that comment coming?
Why do we live in such an offended society I don't know. Pretty much everything offends someone these days!
When you grow up, you'll undoubtedly learn a few basic principles in life, one of which is manners, but others which may lead you to not stare, and go back to enjoying the company of the person with whom you are dining, rather than unnecessarily taking offence for something which shouldn't affect your dining experience.
What if you are dining with the woman in question?![]()
Stare creepily at their exposed breast, of course. What else would a normal person do?
Its like chewing gum, I hope you brought enough for all of us..
Actually, My wife bottle fed all three of our girls, all are tall for their age, physically fit. Breastfeeding in public is fine by me, in a restaurant where people are eating may be frowned upon by some as offputting when they have paid for a meal, not by me but I can see their side of the story. It wouldnt kill the mother to bring some pre expressed milk with her in a bottle though.
Public breastfeeding is uncomfortable to people around, nobody wants to see saggy hooters while eating thanks. Mum's have a right to feed their children sure but be classy and respectful about it, use a cover or go to your car, nobody wants to see it.
Absolutely - there is no black and white.

Well one would hope you wouldn't be surprised that she has to breastfeed!
But clearly one would stare and drool accordingly?
Some people are right prudes aren't they. It's boobs people, she's not flashing her nether regions! How people can be offended by a piece of flesh I will never know. [..]
Do you think that nudity should be a right in all places? Would you have any objection to a man strolling down the high street stark naked? You have said that you will never understand how people can be offended by flesh, so if you mean what you say you should have no issues with a man walking down the high street with his penis flapping about. Just a piece of flesh, right? Or did you not really mean what you wrote?
She knew she was going out for a meal (and a meal at a posh place), why did she not prepare a bottle of breast milk for the baby in the restaurant?
And you would be an expert on expressing and know that it is trivially easy for everyone?
My wife did it for a time when one of our girls was in hospital and nobody we knew found it easy. All would rather have breastfed.
Like sticking an angry vacuum cleaner on your boob was one of the descriptions.
Not to mention you then need build up your stash of EBM while feeding normally, use it up within a couple of days (lots of babies don't like frozen milk), then on the day you have to keep the milk cool and then bring it up to body temperature, you get more washing up to do (there's quite enough, thanks). Not nearly so convenient as simply breastfeeding. Then throw in health visitors grumbling about nipple confusion, maybe colic and other things and bottles become a lot less appealing.
Boobs > bottles

Would be a little odd but it's only society that says being naked is frowned upon. Also that argument has nowt to do with the topic of breastfeeding.
