I believe that breastfeeding in public is frowned upon here because breasts are seen, more and more, as nothing but sexual objects. Women are made to feel ashamed if they expose them, though the entire function of a breast is to feed a baby.
The reason certain men who go to strip clubs get disgusted when seeing a woman breastfeed in public is because they’re forced to see breasts as something other than a sexual object – and it pisses them off and disgusts them. Unfortunately, I know a lot of women (younger generations, especially) that feel the exact same way.
The entire thing, in my opinion, ties into how much sexual control men have over women. They want it how they want it, period. Until more women stand up and say, “Fuck off, asshole”, things will never change. Women can’t take their shirts off when it’s hot in the summer or feed their baby in public, but it’s perfectly okay to expose them and get paid to do so, where and when a lot of men deem acceptable? Fuck that!
Bottle-feed your baby in public, just because you’re around other people who don’t like it? Fuck that. Cover your boob up when breastfeeding in public because other people don’t have the ability to view breasts as anything other than sexual objects? Fuck. That.
