I’m sure that David Koch can defend himself adequately without my help, but he’d be better off not to or he will have protesting female pollies and a hundred breast feeding women with banners outside the studio where he works. Actually, I’m sure that he’s already learned his lesson.

It’s not breast feeding that’s discourteous it is doing it without regard to how other people might feel about it, that is discourteous. Koch doesn’t have to be at the pool to have an opinion on the issue. I mean, you weren’t at the pool, were you? It didn’t stop you from slagging old white men or having an opinion on the matter. You’re entitled to dislike, be offended by and not listen to One Direction, but not entitled to badger them into submission and make them toe the politically correct line. I don’t think it’s the same as turning your head.

I'm splitting this response up as I can't seem to do it in one go.
The aim, I know, is to normalise breast feeding in public. I’m sure it will come to pass. I just don’t like the way it’s happening.

I wouldn’t worry too much about ‘the most privileged segment of our society’, Sean.’ Those men are dying out. It’s only the thrashing of the dinosaur’s tail that’s left, just keep out of its way for a little while. The new breed of male is obviously in. It’s either self-interest or self-preservation that keeps them quiet.

All the old white guy said was that this breast feeding lady at the pool should be discreet. 'Go to a quieter area, [not] a high traffic area, on the side of the pool, in the middle of summer on a hot day.' 'Courtesy' is the reason he gave. It was a pretty mild comment as comments go. Last time I looked we were still a two gender species. Regardless of gender Koch is just as entitled to an opinion on this matter as anyone else is. I haven't noticed women holding back on men and what's wrong with them. Perhaps Koch is not keen to witness a bonding thing happening between mother and child. Where are his rights in all this?
This old white broad who breastfed two children wants to point out that there are electric pumps making it easy to either freeze bottles for two months at a time or keep in the fridge for a week for when you go out.
