This is what happens when you minimize the differences between men and women to cultural influences.

and that article is written kinda creepy too

MsC: Hitting the nail again, MrsC

Sorry, but that guy is a freak-show. I wonder how much money he'll make by doing this *stunt*?

and I agree completely with FrCorySticha

Let's hope he doesn't try to do this at an airport.

and it's not really going to work anyway!

Expand on that, Johnny. I think I understand what you're saying, but would like further thought.

I first heard about this idea in La Leche league twenty years ago as an emergency only idea, and even then I had a powerful aversion to the

notion. Even in the rare cases they cited that "worked" I think my feeling was that men shouldn't be doing that.

The whole creepfest in the article about "bonding" is just twisted and wrong.

For a male to bond with a child, there are differnt hormones, differentneeds, different social messages. Bonding is also social information

sharing, and THAT is a very uspide down bizarre message to send a child who's only cognizance of these matters is comfort and safety

What is the outcome when a child...ugh. Sorry. Can't finish that thought right now.

Oh, I get it, MrsC. If you feel like "tossing you cookies" on this, I understand. Your passion on the subject is most helpful though.

Where have "we" come from, and "whre have we arrived. Fr. has some insights on this.
