Are We Ready for the Breastfeeding Father?
The New York Times ^ | October 18, 2019 | Carl Cederstrom

We are unlikely to stumble upon dads openly suckling their babies anytime soon. The hormones are not without side effects; they inevitably entail some degree of breast growth. But as technology has made it increasingly feasible, the potential impact of male breastfeeding on gender roles — who takes on what sort of parenting duties, and all of the consequences that result from those early first choices — looms larger than ever. And at least one man is excited about the possibilities.

“I just thought, ‘How cool if it would work!’” Mr. Bengtsson said. “Just imagine the extraordinary consequences it could have for our society.”

Disgusting, but one can’t expect anything else from the NYT.

No, but we are desperate for a newspaper with reporters who have common sense.

No.

I think the LGBTQRSTUV fad is nearing its end.

I’m old enough to remember “Disco will never die!”

Which was pretty much supported by the same people.

This sounds odd, but one of the things that gives me hope is the universal success, at least in the United States, of Chick fil-a.

This is something their movement-one of the most politically powerful, lavishly funded, and intimidating lobbies we have-has spent the past few years trying to destroy, and it's only become more popular.

They've shot all of their bullets at a business animated by Christian, Biblical values, and they were all blanks.

I think it illustrates that all of the wokeness displayed by these multinational corporations is a facade, which doesn't reflect the values of the American public at all.

The fact that they are riding the crest of an essentially synthetic, astroturf movement-and don't have the genuine love of the people they claim to speak for is something that can't be underestimated.

One Chick closing soon in England after LGBT complaining.
Other Chicks opening soon in Toronto, Ca.
The outreach continues, albeit at an uneven pace.

Do men actually have “mammary” glands in their breasts??? Aren't these needed to produce human milk?

What is next for these Frankenstein dreamers? Implanted donor uterus? Donor fallopian tubes? Instead of the Feminists’ goal of eliminating the need for men, are men thinking the same about women? God help us!

I wish there were more Chick-fil-a places around here! I don’t do fast food very often but that’s the only place I will go when I do. Consistently good product and great service.

They're opening more in NYC.

It used to be just one small outpost-on the campus of NYU, ironically enough-but they've opened a couple more real Chick Fil-As in Manhattan.

I love it.

I wish them all kinds of luck and good will, but most fried chicken sandwiches give me heartburn. So it’s not necessarily for me. The Waffle Fries I tries once were sort of hard and starchy. But again, to each his own.

I’ve always dreamed of starting a successful business.
I’m still ‘dreaming’ while they have actually done it.
This business model does work when it’s allowed to.

Is this the same paper that had pictures of Elvis Presley’s space alien girlfriend?

Poor infant who is suckled by the “man” consuming that hormone cocktail. The infant’s health and well-being doesn’t matter to these people. Selfish!
