Men are allowed to go around topless without getting cited for public nudity, why is it such a big deal when women do? It's legal in a lot of states anyway, it's just that few women take advantage of that fact.

Also not all babies like to eat under a cover, and they have to eat often. It would be ludicrous to ask nursing mothers to only nurse at home or somewhere gross and cramped like a bathroom stall. Moms can't always duck into a dark corner, and they're going to have to be in public sometimes. Besides, nursing shouldn't be an offensive thing, it's just a baby eating for christ's sake.

I honestly wouldn't give a shit if it were happening at a five star restaurant I was eating at. The adults are eating, baby's gotta eat too if it happens to be its feeding time. It might as well eat at the table. Otherwise mom has to go outside or wherever for a good portion of the meal, and there should be no reason for her to except to appease uptight idiots who wet their panties/boxers just because they might catch a glimpse of a nipple. The only way you would is if you were flat out staring at her anyway.
