I was a nursing mother when my 93 year old grandmother died. During the visitation time at the funeral home, I spent about 20 minutes sitting in a secluded alcove to breastfeed my 2 month old infant. During that 20 minute period a number of elderly to ancient people, male and female alike, sought me out to have a chat. They found me by asking my mother where I was. She said, "Over there, she's nursing." I don't think it is a generational issue.

Any kind of behavior or activity can be carried out in an obnoxious manner. That doesn't necessarily make the activity itself innately obnoxious or offensive. I have found myself thoroughly disqusted by the way some people eat. That doesn't warrant me wanting to see eating in public banned.
