I agree with her points, BUT it does make me feel awkward / uncomfortable when I see a mother breastfeeding in public. Not because I don't think they should be doing it. Maybe more because I don't want to be seen as caught looking.

I tried breast feeding in pub once. got weird looks.

I really don't think twice when I see an African lady breastfeeding her child in some documentary, but agree it seems awkward to see white women breastfeeding in cities. Although I notice more and more public places and office buildings are getting breastfeeding rooms adjacent to the public bathrooms, not sure about UK though.

Are all public womens bathrooms in the UK cramped and smelling of piss?

Bravo. Well said Ms. McNish.

People need to work through their uncomfortabilities with breast feeding and realize how beautiful it is that a child is getting their nourishment while also bonding with their mother in the most natural way possible.

I guess that's one of her key points. If you saw breastfeeding as much as you saw billboards covered in tits, you might not even notice it anymore.

Excellent delivery, great message. Bravo, Hollie.

And you didn't get kicked out?

Getting kicked out of a place for breast feeding is bullshit. Being kicked off a bus, also bullshit. But being embarrassed - I don't see that going away.

Unfortunately, we have sexualized breasts. In other societies, this isn't even remotely an issue...

I support women being able to breastfeed in public - but unless we figure out a way to remove the sexualization of breasts from our society, the awkwardness will not go away. Men will still feel awkward, because they are trying hard not to look or accidentally catch a glimpse of titty and women will feel awkward because they know people around them are feeling awkward.

If anyone knows how to not feel awkward when a woman is breastfeeding in front of you and you're trying to have a conversation with them, please let me know. Cause I've tried. I've tried hard. And I haven't progressed much further than the "forced eye contact" awkwardness that makes me neck ache with stiffness.

The problem isn't the sexual aspect of breasts, that's perfectly fine, it's our unability to perceive anything but. Before evolution made breasts the bouncy fondling fun we like to enjoy, they were a source of nourishment.
It's awkward and embarrassing because of our limited view, our lack to subconsciously process the whole concept behind it.
Imagine everytime we'd saw a hand, we'd think "Masturbation!"
Handshakes would be sooo awkward.
