You can take whiny kids out, breastfeed toddlers on demand wherever they demand it, use your phone on speaker, fart in public, have heavy make outs with your partner wherever you like, spit on the street, and so on. It's a free country.

Some people will find your behavior rude. You can keep going and behaving any way you like, but you don't get to decide that people should not find it rude.

And yet, no one will start a 20 page DCUM thread to clutch their pearls about you for any of the above. Only women, refusing to be policed in public, cause outrage.

Fair enough. I appreciate this point. But, just to be clear, I find all of it outrageous

Exactly. A woman breastfeeding? That definitely deserves outrage from boomers.
