Yes, THIS. I went to an LLL orientation, and they really condescended to me for wanting to work. I got the brochures on working and nursing, and they were all "Well, if you HAVE to work, you can do this."
Most of the women I knew at the time agreed that LLL was a cult. A warm, loving, nurturing cult, but not at all supportive of alternate points of view.
