Dan, you would not believe the scorching we've taken for this. It's been a VERY informative thread.
For instance, I've been told that since I've never borne or breast-fed a child, my opinion is invalid and should not be aired in public.
For another, I've been accused of thinking I know how to parent better than any parent on this thread. (I love it when people tell me what I'm thinking. Miss Cleo would have paid big to employ them.)
If this is your first-time in a "breastfeeding" scorcher thread, let me tell you -- over the past few years there have been blurbs about women (who breastfeed) and in "mommy forums" online who've been subjected to the same flames as you've taken in this thread.
Can you imagine being raised by women who "rant ugly" like this? Egads.. and for merely expressing an opinion? Time to expose nasty mommies, no? There are plenty of them out there who hide behind the "woman as supreme nurturer" arguments and who use their breasts as means to foist their ideology upon others. Actually, you do sound like you might be a better parent than some in this thread who are actual parents currently.
