robyn,

in this catalog, it very well might. i'm thinking of the fact that as  
many men as women subscribe to it. i ran a program for homeless teens  
before having children of my own and it was the #1 'reading material'  
kept in the bathroom and at bedside for the young gents at their male  
housing facilities. knowing that they consciously posture and cater to  
mens' sexual fantasies and objectification of women just as much as  
they try to sell products to women - i wonder (hope?) if they wisely  
chose to downplay anything maternal/having to do w/ children lest they  
be seen as doing just that. (sexualizing breastfeeding)
