I'm going to have to disagree with this comparison, on pretty strong terms.
To me, an unasked-for sexual proposition is inherently violent, and I think
it would be to many women. It isn't about "choosing to be offended." It is
a threat, sent from a more powerful person to the less powerful. It's
electronic sexual harassment. That kind of contact has almost nothing in
common with breastfeeding except the physical presence of breasts.
If someone sexted me, whether I knew them or not, I would be shaken and
possibly frightened. Breastfeeding isn't scary, and I can't think of a
context in which it would be.
