Feeding babies, breasts, planes, cameras, and discrimination

Feeding babies, breasts, planes, cameras, and discrimination

My baby and I are going on a plane this week and one writer thinks I can expect to feed my baby without someone wanting to take a picture of my breast. Are breastfeeding moms asking for leers and jeers or for people to photograph them and their feeding child when they are out in public? On a plane? Why do some consider it acceptable to treat breastfeeding mothers this way when any other group of people would call it discrimination? Is there any hope that society will finally grow up about breastfeeding?
