I think some people may think BF is 'weird' because breasts are seen as a sexual object, not baby feeding

Something which I don't think a lot of people consider is that, statistically speaking, 1 in 3 women will have experienced some form of sexual abuse. Whether that is rape (whatever the circumstances) or childhood sexual abuse. Obviously if you are talking about a specific age group, then the statistic will change, but there are still way more cases of sexual abuse (particularly childhood) than most people like to think about
And trust me, if your associations with your breasts include pain, humiliation, shame, disgust, and the myriad of other emotions which come along with sexual trauma, then breastfeeding can be a horrendous experience.
Buuuuuut since no-one likes to talk about it (healthcare professionals included), there is practically zero awareness, much less support.
ETA - since many women partially or completely suppress their memories of any kind of abuse (particularly childhood abuse), they can be left not really understanding why they have such overwhelmingly negative responses to breastfeeding, or even the idea of breastfeeding. So they get tagged with this idea of "Oh, you just think of your breasts as being sexual, that's sad..." when it really might not be the case.
Sorry for the OT rant, but it is something I feel quite strongly about.
Back on topic, I just turned 28 but am about 19 in my head
One of my best friends uses cloth (so I blame her for my addiction). I've not had any negativity from my peers, so I guess I'm quite lucky
