Thank you for letting me know, I realize the word "breastfeeding" was the wrong choice of words there, since it's not proven whether the thing that comes out of the men that lactate is and can ever be actually similar to the milk that comes out of a female that lactates.

If men could actually breastfeed, I'd be all for them doing it. It would sure help equalize things between mother & father after a baby is born, and it would release women from shouldering - breasting? LOL - the entire responsibility ourselves. The father of my children would've loved to breastfeed them - not coz he has a fetish but coz he was/is a doting parent who was/is totally over the moon about babies. Whereas I've always been more "meh" - probably coz of the different social expectations put on mothers of babies compared to fathers. Also, by the time I got through pregnancy, labor & childbirth I was ready for a vacation. Whereas for men, being a parent usualy only becomes "really real" once the/a child is born and can be cradled in dad's arms.
