This is supposedly for real.

This is really gross. I can’t help but feel that a man breastfeeding is pedophilic. And to those men that get depressed because they can’t put their infant to their nipple, they need to talk to a psychiatrist. A guy who is that obsessed with offering his nipple to his baby has a screw or two loose and probably has some pretty incriminating images on his hard-drive.

I know the breastfeeding dictators of the world will be divided on this issue, either they will be over-excited at the possibility of having help thwarting the big, bad formula companies or they will feel dis-empowered and angry that they are no longer the only one that can nourish their baby and take of him/her proprietarily. I think the promotion of male breastfeeding is an extension of the zealotry that wishes to force women to breastfeed. How will their political tentacles use male lactation to further divide mothers? Perhaps if a woman doesn’t want to breastfeed, the breastfeeding dictators will try to mandate that the father breastfeeds in lieu of that decision or inability to breastfeed. I say, bring it on!!! I love to watch breastfeeding fanatics get even loonier. It only helps the sane of our society, for the breastfeeding mandate supporters to praise male lactation. Perhaps people will wake up and understand that this fanatic obsession [to force women to breastfeed], to subsitute a mother’s role and welcome men to do use their breasts to feed babies if the woman doesn’t want to, is circumventing her rights to safely feed her child how she wishes.

Male breastfeeding is the stuff of whack-jobs and ideological imposition. Even if the documentary is true and accurate, it doesn’t mean that you should do something to a baby just because you can. An emotionally retarded father’s desires should not supersede what is morally right for the child, as much as the ultra left (read breastfeeding fanatics) seek to protect and stick up for those who violate children, it doesn’t mean the rest of society has to passively allow it to happen. Again, I see a certain segment of our society seeking to diminish inappropriate behavior between adults and children and that should be unacceptable in a civilized society.

A mother who breastfeeds her baby is perfectly natural and even beautiful, but the suggestion that men lactate too is ideological lunacy.

And for those of you who might be in denial that male lactation is a political ideology against formula feeding moms and formula feeding companies, read this article. Here are some quotes from the webpage:

For those who claim male lactation is “unnatural,” I would have to ask: how natural is canned formula from Nestle’ or pacifiers made from petrolium byproducts? If milk production in men were truly unnatural, it wouldn’t exist. The fact that it does, leads me to believe that perhaps male lactation is simply nature’s back-up system. In any case, it’s an interesting phenomenon.

and…

I am a social anthropologist currently undertaking research into the sexual politics of breastfeeding. I first became aware of men’s capacity to breastfeed upon reading Helen Marieskind’s article entitled ‘Abnormal Lactation’ in the Journal of Tropical Pediatrics and Environmental Child Health. Marieskind establishes the scientific case for men’s capacity to breastfeed and in doing so effectively undermines one of the key premises underlying much feminist literature on breastfeeding i.e. breastfeeding is the exclusive capacity of women. The fact that man’s capacity to breastfeed is left largely unrealised in our society has far-reaching theoretical and practical implications and may be seen to reveal a great deal about our culture. This is a fascinating issue that I am keen to investigate further. I would like to hear from any breastfeeding fathers who are willing to share their experiences with me.All the best,
