One of the things that makes me angry is the women who tell the stories of other people who overcame this and that and still breastfed (the one I personally am sick of seeing quoted is the woman with no arms who breastfed) they're seldom the ones who have had actual real genuine problems. The ones with the problems, generally, understand the temptation to give up, understand the struggle and don't say these things. They may tell their stories, but they don't do it in a "well *I* could, why couldn't you" fashion when people are genuinely struggling (though I know I personally still get pissed off at the ones who don't even try).
