That's rather a stretched analogy.

How about conceiving a baby in public? That's another natural thing...

Women are entitled to feed their babies when they need to but I just don't understand what the problem is with being a little discreet about it.

It's no more a stretched analogy than comparing breastfeeding to sexual intercourse, is it? I suppose the most accurate comparison would be eating. After all, breastfeeding is just a baby eating. It is in no way sexual. If someone can't separate breasts from sex, that is THEIR issue.

And to further the comparison: I often find people eating in public to be an issue for me. Like when people have a sandwich and take a bite, and you can see their drool all over the bitten bit, and the bread is all moist and sometimes there's a string of dribble to their mouth. yuck! I find it utterly repulsive.

You know what I don't do? Expect them to put a napkin over their head while they eat. It would certainly make things more "comfortable" for me, but it would also be... Well... a ****ing ridiculous request borne purely of my own personal distaste. I'd fully expect to be told to piss off. I wouldn't then call that person "inconsiderate" for not complying with my petty and ultimately pointless demands.
