When a cultural shift is underway, it can often come with some awkward stages in which people find themselves in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have laws allowing women to breastfeed in any public or private location.
However, this doesn't mean that breastfeeding women still won't find themselves experiencing shaming and harassment from others who find it indecent. At the same time, mothers who don't breastfeed can experience significant pressure to do so and some report feeling like failures if they can't.
I say all of this to say that breastfeeding remains something of a cultural battleground and one man's story makes it clear that he has recently found himself on the wrong side of it.
