bfing now and someone had the nerve to approach me!!

Ditto for me Barbara, but I think this is the crucial difference -- women
who are breastfeeding and not ashamed of it, not cowering, or covering up,
or hiding, or worrying about what people think -- project an image of strong
mother-woman-ness. People are much less likely to approach them and ask
them to move, because it is clear they are not going to.
