Breastfeeding rights and normalization are one of those less visible aspects of sex/gender discrimination and it's nice to see push-back.

    This reminds me of when I worked in a "natural" grocery store.

    I still can't figure out which would be better, just openly breastfeeding with no covering or having a blanket for "politeness."

    I'm pretty sure I don't have any problems with it, but I'd be on the aisle stocking shelves with my brain pretty much on standby mode and somebody would be breastfeeding their kid but with a towel or blanket casually over their shoulder covering themselves.

    It would always look... just out of the ordinary enough that I would find myself paying attention until my brain could figure out what what going on. I'd like to think that it didn't take more than a few seconds to figure it out not come off like I was being a creep but I sometimes wonder that I might have.
