The lady sitting next to me is pumping breast milk in flight. I'm a female, but I'm really grossed out by this (smell is ick). Does this make me a traitor to my sex or is this an appropriate response?

Yeah I feel you. When I was younger, my mom was feeding my sister and the whole roomed smelled milky. The young me did not like it. I think it's a natural response, but agree it's probably polite to be discreet about your repulsion so that it's easier on the poor woman. Also, I think it would be a bit creepy if you liked the smell lol

The best thing to do in these situations is to dig deep for your compassion and empathy. Try to imagine how you would feel (not what you would do) in her situation. I can't imagine she WANTS to be pumping. I would probably feel a little embarassed and vulnerable. It makes it easier to handle. I had a bloody murder screamer on a four hour flight and instead of getting mad at the mom I just told her she was doing great at keeping it together and it must be hard. And I even tried playing with the toddler which worked on and off. Life's hard enough.

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
