Amen, amen, amen! The baby's needs and desires are NOT being centered here. Once again, it is the entitled man who has centered himself and his desires. UGH!

Exactly. Keep it simple. Men don’t breastfeed.

the men who are into this crap are in it for sexual kicks. these men make babies suck their nipples. this is straight forward blatant sexual abuse. it's a pedophilic act. that's the beginning and end of it.

Lucy, brilliantly articulated points. You make very clever arguments, very witty, so you make me laugh...And then I realize again how sad this situation is. You encapsulated this very well when you said, "Many women struggle to breastfeed, so why are we helping men?" And that shows just how stupid this fake "inclusion" is. Women are always last. Children are last. Nothing has changed, has it? We are only moving backwards. Thanks again for your clear voice.

When I gave birth and breastfed, I came to realise how very material are the differences between the sexes. Our power as live-givers and our frailty as the 'weaker' caregiving sex are reality.
