SO, my friends and I get our food...and she comes inside and just stares at me for a couple minutes. Doesn't say anything. I'm eating my waffles, enjoying my food, and I have a crack whore staring at me. She wasn't close by, but I'd keep looking and she'd be staring at me. If I didn't look, nothing would change the fact that she's still there looking at me. Looking away from a woman breastfeeding wouldn't do anything. The woman is still there, you acknowledge that she is there breastfeeding...you just continue to look in another direction. That acknowledgment isn't going to change anything, the only difference is that you're not looking at her. If you don't understand, let me put it in another concept:

Suppose you're sitting at a restaurant and you see these two dudes huddled up in a corner. You're pretty sure that they're making out, but you can't tell exactly what they're doing besides kissing. Would you just look away? Probably. Would it be awkward and would you still acknowledge that they are still there, making out and possibly touching each other even if you aren't looking at them? You can't clearly see what they're doing, and they're not doing anything to you, so if you'd be uncomfortable around them, why would you? If you're not used to seeing two dudes make out and touch each other in a restaurant, then it would be awkward and looking away isn't going to solve your problems.

I reeeeaaaaallllyyyy don't see how you can compare a "crack whore" as you so nicely put it, with a woman breastfeeding? I didn't say looking away would make you unaware of what was happening I just meant that if it's so awkward for you then you don't need to look at it.

If I was uncomfortable with two guys making out (which I wouldn't be, it was just a random example that I used earlier) then that's my problem just like it's the mans problem if he is uncomfortable with a woman breastfeeding. Just because I was uncomfortable with them kissing doesn't mean they should have to stop or that they were wrong to be kissing. Just because a man is uncomfortable with a woman breastfeeding doesn't mean she should have to stop or is wrong for doing it.
