My guess is that the boob nazis are the way they are because the majority of women in the U.S. do not breastfeed. A recent stat I saw was that only 14% of U.S. mothers were nursing at six months. So combine a feeling of being a oppressed minority and an overwhelming sense of self-righteousness, and voila! you've got yourself a boob nazi. (And why on earth they feel pride in such a title, I have no idea.)

It's really hard to let go of cherished expectations. Be proud of yourself for recognizing, under incredible stress, that your expectations were only that--not goals that had to be met at any cost.
