In reply to the discussion: Friendly's Restaurant asks nursing mother to cover up or stop nursing. [View all]badtoworse
(5,957 posts)29. It's about pissing people off by exercising your rights.
My sense from the video was that a number of people in the restaurant were offended. If that is the case, I'll speculate that she wasn't doing it discreetly.
This isn't about comparing breast feeding to open carry; it's about just being considerate. Personally, I wouldn't be offended by open carry or overt breast feeding, but not everyone is as tolerant as I am. If you know you're offending people around you, what does it say about you if you continue doing what you're doing?
