This is sad. I personally always use a cover but am annoyed when people make a big deal out of these things. The arguments you make for covering are the same arguments Arabs make for burqa and covering your face. Why stop at asking a security guard to accompany you out of the library? Why not just ban girls from public education? After all, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to protect your modesty?
Pumping is painful, time-consuming, and a hassle to always have a bottle of milk around which can go bad if not kept cold and then go bad if not used within 4 hrs of being out and about. This means I can’t have a full day out with my family so as to make sure I have a pumped bottle on hand.
Going out to feed in a car is great during summer but what about when there is 10ft of snow outside? A mother shouldn’t have to bundle up herself, her baby, walk out on ice back to the car in a snowy parking lot, all so that you can avoid having to look the other direction. Same with going to a smelly bathroom etc. and going to the back room with a restaurant manager means the mother misses out on family conversation, time with her husband, etc which was probably the point of her meal.
