because patriarchy

I think I received more pressure to cover, hide, or not breastfeed at church from women than men (because patriarchy). The only reason that these things did not shorten breastfeeding is because I’m stubborn, but they did cause me to teach my toddlers not to ask for it at church. To convey to them that it was not ok to go there because of my uncomfortableness. And also because who wants to gaze into their sweet babies eyes while smelling someone’s poop!!?!
