"A lactation consultant," I provided sullenly from the back row where I was already starting to wilt in my seat out of sheer annoyance. I live in a pretty liberal, with-it town. I'm sure that somewhere in this city exists an LC who could have done this presentation.
That's hysterical, in a very pathetic kind of way.

I think you should do the leg work and find a lactation consultant or maybe a La Leche League leader who's willing to talk next time in the class and give the name and number to the professor.

Not to mention that breastfeeding can help reduce the risk of breast cancer... if that's not women's health related, then I don't know what else is!

Wow, what an awful experience. Maybe you can suggest to your instructor that a better choice for a guest speaker on bf'ing would be a local LLL leader or LC. Wow, that's just sad...
