This is actually a good topic. At the mall I work security for they had a woman's group, the name escapes me right now, who came into the mall, and purposely breast fed their children in public as a display that they "weren't going to take it anymore". I remember my bosses saying, "Don't do anything. If you see them feeding, let them".
Now, personally. I really have no problem with it. If a woman in an extremely public place wants to pull out her breast and feed her child, than by all means, go for it.
But in this world we live in where there are grown men who want to have sex with little children. And, being a mall security guard you see certain things, men who masterbate in their cars in parking lots and in bathrooms to just get a cheap thrill...
Well, what do you think perverts are going to do in a situation where he sees a mom breast feeding her child out in the open, breast popped out.
Anybody remember that scene in Me, Myself, and Irene? HAHAHA! I do. Do I think people need to lighten up? Yes. Janet Jackson's breast caused more contreversey than George Bush screwing up the war in Iraq and his entire presidency.
But if woman want to expose their breasts out in public places to feed their children, well that's their own risks and if someone is "staring" at them...then they need to realize that there are SOME THINGS that can be done in public and somethings that can't.
I don't pee right out in the open for everyone to see. How would women like it if I just randomly pulled out my penis and took a wiz in a cup because I couldn't make it to the bathroom? But that would be indecent exposure and urinating in a public place.
