48. It is pretty obvious when a woman is feeding her baby

Even if she has a blanket draped over

When a guy flashes his genitals in public, there are well researched psychological reasons for it. And when a person does a dance as they remove their clothes, there are only a handful of reasons for it. This is not rocket science. Nudity has pretty well established psychological explanations.

Feeding your baby should not be lumped in with getting a thrill from showing underage girls your adult penis. It is not in the same psychological framework.

For profit establishments only have the rights we people give them. They do Not have inherited rights to do anything including setting rules on their property about free speech if we people object to it.

Who died and made the profit industries arbitrators of free speech or rules on feeding babies? They merely exist in a capitalist world to make money for themselves and this is not some sacred responsibility that can only be changed with law suits. Using the court system to arbitrate people's rights is a cumbersome, distorted and slow process evolved to address the numerous failures of capitalism.

But for now you are correct. The only way to really stop a bussiness from establishing arbitrary and unfair rules in the business is to file suit...or apparently to have breastfeeding sit ins.
