Lactose Intolerant

Barbara Walters, a talk show host in the US, recently commented on-air that she had recently had the misfortune of sitting next to a woman on a plane who was breastfeeding her baby.

"It made me very nervous," Walters said on the May 17 show. "She didn't cover the baby with a blanket. It made us uncomfortable."

This disgraceful comment resulted in lactating mothers in multiple cities organising a synchronised feed.

Another sterling example of how repressed some people here are, when someone can say that another woman breastfeeding makes her "nervous".

I've never liked her, now I have a reason. Yay!
