if you actually read that site, you'd have
read about a tribe of people in africa (i
believe it's africa) where none of the
women can breastfeed, and the men all do
it instead. And they sure don't have any
breast pumps.
And who said this had to take place in the
olde days anyway? It was never stated.
But it is known, men who's wives died in
childbirth back then, and the man brought
the child to his breast because he was too
poor for milk; and after a few days he
began to lactate, and he fed the child.
No horomones or breast pumps their either.
so the men of the old days are evil for
not breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding doesn’t come easy to men,
however, after a woman gives birth she
lactates abundantly, so to suggest that
men are evil for working in coalmines that
are very dangerous as opposed to being
househusbands struggling to breastfeed is
hardly justifiable. Furthermore, to claim
men are evil for not sending women into
coalmines instead and for looking after
the children is a completely unreasonable
and a totally pathetic claim, isn’t it?
Grow up guys.
"so the men of the old days are evil for
not breastfeeding? "
huh? Where does that come from? Did I
say that a modern man is moral because
he breastfeeds? No. Did I even imply
that the man of the past was bad because
he didn't? No. In fact I told a story of
a man from the past who did.
I also mentioned the fact that his wife
died. She can't be
breastfeeding if she's dead. Did you miss
that part?
I didn't say any of that, I didn't imply
any of it, and I certainly couldn't even
conceieve any of that; mostly because none
of it makes sense.
A mother is obviously the one meant to
feed the baby with her breastmilk. It is
what her body is designed for. And men
who breast feed either do so in dire
circumstances, in situations where all the
women are "dry" (african tribe example)
or, in modern day, some men do it
voluntarily to connect with their baby.
That said... Once a baby is old enough to
eat solid foods, either parent can feed
it. So at that point, daddy can be a
househusband, and mum can go to work. Or,
vice versa. Or, they could take turns.
Because women are free now.

you spurred the debate with this
comment.
To which I replied:
or maybe, the system of men working and
women staying at home looking after the
children was the best way, since women
have breasts to feed the babies, and
pregnant women doing manual labour like
felling trees for wood is not such a wise
idea, is it? Furthermore men don’t have
breasts and instant milk was not around
then. So forgive the evil man who, back
in the old days did not send the women out
to work when working conditions where far
worse back then.
Have a bit of gratitude for your
forefathers, whose only jobs where severe
manual labour unlike today when jobs are a
million times easier, thanks to men who
invented computers etc, etc. Now you want
to work so you can earn large sums of
money in cute little offices with air
conditioning and vending machines, why
didn’t you want to work when the jobs
involved digging coal out of holes in the
ground? Or farming in cold fields when
combine harvesters weren’t invented, or
on construction sites where many men died,
all for your benefit.

yet again the sexist speaks. As if
women didn't do severe manual labor in the
old days.
Edit.
either we stopped you working or we
didn’t which one is it?
Make up your mind.

we never stopped working. It is sexists
like you that don't value non paid work
done by
wives/mothers.
i value the work of mothers, that is why I
when as far as saying it is the most
important of all jobs.
