Thank you SO much for posting this! I hated breastfeeding (because of all the guilt): I hated pumping, I never had enough supply and so we supplemented with formula.
The "all or nothing" attitude of boob nazis/lactivists is really self-defeating. They're marginalizing themselves as weirdo fanatics. I mentioned as much on an LJ community one time and was met with an icy response.
If I had time to get that master's in Women's studies, this habit of turning on each other in competition that women tend to have is something I'd be interested in writing a thesis on.
