I don't see anything here that implies the women in question are "baring it all". Indeed, if you're baring it all, you aren't nursing. The nipple has to be in the mouth for the baby to get food.
And childfree? Last I checked, it was full of hateful people who make the rest of the childfree world look bad. Which is why I never joined it. I'm a member of the quieter childfree comms.
I am a bit mean, I will admit (I'm in that comm and the mean comm.). Personally, I'm fine with women nursing, if they're being polite about it and not screaming about it. Yes, there will be stares. We're raised in a culture that isn't nudity friendly for adults, and it will take time for us to get adjusted. And there are always people who wear hats on their backsides.
What I mean is that, the ones that this article is probably referring to are the mothers that want attention and such just because she had a baby (omg, look at me! I had a baby, I am teh_awesomea). I know exactly what I mean, I really do. it's hard to get across without voice and much hand gesturing (you know the italian stereotype of constant hand movement? it's true.). The loud, obnoxious mothers.
I like childfree because I like reading the stories about bad parents, and the actual bad_parents comm is too depressing for me.
They have gotten less hateful and X-TREEM *guitar riff* as time has gone on, even though there was a nasty spat about the 'mothers-who-support-childfreeness' that was just eyerolly.

And the non-angry posts are very useful.
