breastfeeding is nasty??

Not judging, just saying. I was talking to my cousin, (I'm 23, she is 28). And I was reeking her that I breastfed my son and I plan to do the same for my daughter. She was like really?? That is so nasty to me. Especially for girls.....??? I was like well it's a natural part of life and it was the only way to feed a newborn for the longest. She was like she would pump if it didn't take so long but she will never latch her baby on her breast because it feels nasty.
Here is my take. This world makes everything so nasty and tabboo. When actually some things are as normal as a plant growing into a tree. I feel like the women and men who find breastfeeding disgusting are so used to a woman's body being overly sexualized by society. Women get plastered all over TV with boob and booty showing, but you rarely see a guy showing some balls or penis. To me, this world is slowly crumbling.
In no way am I bashing anyone who chooses not to breastfed, I'm just appalled by the things we register as  nasty. Anything could happen at any time. And if formula was somehow tainted and could not be used for months until they figured out what was happening to it, some mothers would have NO way to feed their baby because their milk would be gone...when we are equipped to be able to feed baby at the drop of a dime.

And just to add I bf my son for a yr and am very shy about my girls so yes when out in public I am one of those women that fed in the backseat of my car I fed my son in ppls spare bedrooms while visiting or excused myself while I had visitors at my house I have fed my son in a public toilet stall! Because im not comfortable with the world seeing my boobs but doin that is not even a consideration to me when I think of all the benefits of bfing modesty while bfing is a different discussion to me from someone who thinks boobs are only to be used during sex by their partner (and fyi maybe tmi my husband luvs my leaky boobs theyre a good horny scale for him to go off of)

Gigibella, no it was not about you, just one person ticked me off.with her comment like I said formula is bad and moms who don't want to bfeed are bad.... Ugh but no. Not about you.
