<< Sorry Dr. Page, but you are simply wrong about this...>> Thanks Kathy
Dettwyler for your kind thoughts!

We will disagree on this one. For I DOUBT I'll EVER be convinced of the
tunnel-visioned opinion that BREASTS have not played a role in either sex OR
sexuality over the ages. For just like medical research BIAS which is
ADMITTEDLY at least 50%.....their are multiple cultures out side the U.S.
that act this way===>BREASTS like skin, muscles, the penis, the buttocks, the
vagina and the face...and yes the feet...all have a "sex/sexual" role.

<<We can teach...that women's breasts are for feeding  children....I have
taught  thousands of college students.  It's not that difficult.  I refuse to
be pessimistic.>>    WELL MEET REALITY======>If I recall correctly, in all
that educational effort the past few decades, someone reported that ONE (that
is 1) of the many males taught that BREASTS are for FEEDING only, said it
ruined his view of them.  Have you watched the programs on college kids at
SPRING BREAK recently......$1000.00 to the winner of the WET- T-SHIRT CONTEST
in Cancun?  That phenomenon occurs daily in THIS culture....and.... is a
MAJOR hurdle to overcome without HCP allies.

<< Mutilating feet to enhance them for male sexual pleasure was a cultural
phenomenon>>  Viewing BREASTS as part of sexual "INTEREST" is quite different
than mutilating them!!!! BUT YES,  mutilating breasts for implants...which is
an issue of trading money for a service from MDs, with short sighted vision
by women, (and MDs) to use those treasures to trap wandering men's eyes on
the hunt.....many without the knowledge or real care they might very well NOT
be able to BF later on.  THAT is quite a different issue than flapping body
parts in protest fashion iin public...SORRY...YOU WON'T WIN TRYING TO
ERADICATE THAT CULTURE--whether we like that culture or not---NOT IN OUR
LIFETIME!!!

PONDER THIS: Don't be so closed minded and "female empowing" (that gets a
little old) as to think ONLY the breasts have a nurturing role.  We may just
learn one day how much the penis is involved in the hormonal fluctuations of
females and the chemistry of nurturing!!!!

AND THIS: We have yet to determine the BENEFITS of BF which are due
exlcusively to mother's milk....and the BENEFITS of BF which are due
exclusively to SUCKLING vs. SUCKING mechanical action.

END OF MY DEBATING FOR A WHILE.....CARRY ON LACTNET!!!!

I refuse to continue to post my research in an area where readers don't reply
to questions I've asked...and  furthermore where personal empansioned attacks
(human nature when one is losing a debate) over-ride open debate and REALITY!
 THERE is too much to learn and other resources to learn for now.
BUT....I'll probably be back. CYA!
