Recognizing that this might shade into something off-topic, as it
involves religion, I welcome offlist replies :)

How do you deal with the need to be discreet in women who are part of a
religious group which tells them that public breastfeeding would
encourage men to lust, and therefore is a sin on the part of the woman?

I'm quite stymied by this.  I agree with the previous posters who talk
about changing the cultural perception, but this position is that the
culture is where it is now and we must acknowledge that and avoid making
life more difficult for others.
