I see your point and agree but to call the cops? They have better things to do than settle minor disputes like this.

I'm not so sure about that....

Having breast-fed my daughters in public, I assumed I would be supportive of this mother. Unfortunately, it appears she was not being discreet about it. I always had a small wrap to toss over my shoulder and the child. I and my child were much more comfortable and relaxed since most onlookers would assume the baby was simply in my arms napping.
Yes, breast feeding is natural...but when out in a diverse public setting, I have found it is more respectful to you and others to be discreet. Changing a diaper is certainly necessary but I am not going to do it while sitting at the table of a restaurant during dinner. Extreme example true, but even at a public poolside would be quite inappropriate.
She was politely asked to cover up or move to the locker room. I think that was a fair request and would have not supported her in this instance.

I seriously have no clue why people are so afraid of breasts, especially when used for their primary purpose. Some people are lost in their own hang-ups.
The tragedy is when women object.

We are objecting to her refusing to respect the establishment's request to breastfeed in the locker room, that is the extent of the objection.

Why do establishments prohibit things like this? That's the question. It's a sign of an immature society, but it'll change given time.

IDK if it's the same in the States but here women have the right to go topless. If it's not an issue of coverage what's the dillio? No one wants to be reminded what boobs are REALLY for?

I'm not from the States I'm from where you are from and how often do you see women going topless? I have never see any women going around topless.
