'Selfish', because I don't want to feed? I think this is ridiculous!?

I'm pregnant with twins. I'm having a scheduled c-section really soon. I've got a lot of things going on in my life, and feeding or pumping milk, is the last thing on my mind. I didn't feed my oldest son, and I'm not feeding these two. Today I was at a spouses meeting for my hubby's squadron, and one woman made a comment about non- feeding moms being 'selfish'. I don't think it's selfish. I think that you've got to do what best for mom & baby. Breast feeding & pumping breast milk are not going to be possible for me. I thought it was uncouth, and ridiculous of this woman to make such a blanket about non-breast feeding moms. I held my tongue, and decided to keep my opinions to myself. So what do you think? Do you think that I'm 'selfish' because I don't want to breast feed. Please keep your answers polite. Thanks.
