"Swedish father Ragnar Bengtsson, 26, has entered into an experiment that he hopes will help him breastfeed his future children.
...
"Anything that doesn't do any harm is worth trying out. And if it works it could prove very important for men's ability to get much closer to their children at an early stage," Bengtsson told The Local.
His efforts are to be documented by Swedish TV8, with the first instalment scheduled to air at 9pm on Wednesday on the Aschberg show. Bengtsson also maintains a blog on the station's website, the title of which translates as: 'The Milkman - One Drop at a Time'.
Bengtsson is preparing to pump his breasts at three-hour intervals every day until the beginning of December. As a full time economics student at Stockholm University, he is not always going to be in a position to pump in private.
"I'm going to have to pull out the pump during lectures. But really it doesn't bother me if it makes people uncomfortable. If they have issues with it that's their problem," he said. "

Isn't there something in the Bible about in the last days women will become men and men will act as women?

I guess I’m just a bigot here; I’m 100% percent a woman man. If I were a woman, I’d be a lesbian; I wouldnt’ have anything to do with us. .... but I’d still think farts are funny.

"Anything that doesn't do any harm is worth trying out. And if it works it could prove very important for men's ability to get much closer to their children at an early stage," Bengtsson told The Local. Obviously this guy really hasnt spent any time thinking about the harm he could do to his children.
Just the taunting his children could get in school once it becomes know that there father breast fed them alone could make them hate him for the rest of their lives .
We can only imagine the other social and psychological damage that could result from this.

It’s hard to believe Scandinavian men were once fearless sailors and fearsome warriers. A few years back the Swedish Parliament outlawed public urinals because Swedish women looked at the act of a man standing and peeing as somehow a dis on them.
Go figure.

Excerpt: For months after my wife gave birth to our infant son, I would be frequently overtaken by fits of jealousy. Her ability to breastfeed drove me to the brink of despair. "Why," I thought, "should she alone have the privilege to nourish our child with this life-giving elixir through her breast?"

Isn't there something in the Bible about in the last days women will become men and men will act as women? Oh, yes...look in you bible in Romans 2:25-32 . God says these men and women have a 'reprobate mind'.
