Do you think? Whether conservative or religious, a lot of it comes down to sexualizing every aspect of a woman’s body, arguing that simply existing as a woman is too much for men to handle, and since men can’t be trusted to control themselves, it falls on the woman to hide her body from the men.
We’re literally a hop skip and a jump to fucking burqas in Christianity.

These rooms are more than just a door. They have tables, microwaves, mirrors, outlets and a number of other things that make feeding and pumping easier.
Also, even in pretty progressive places, a lot of people just want some alone time and a dedicated place to deal with a kid or a clunky pump.

Sometimes they are like that.
Sometimes they are a closet with a dirty diaper can that isn’t emptied frequently. Delightful.

Yeah, shitty places in the US do the bare minimum that the law requires. A door, a sink, and a chair.

As someone who is not familiar with breast milk pumping… what is the microwave for?

Sterilizing equipment, heating a bottle, or just heating up lunch so you can kill two birds with one stone.
