I do enjoy your communicating with the likes of Virginia Kline.  These people need to be accountable and I am so glad you call them on it - so eloquently!  I know this takes a lot of mental and emotional energy but we appreciate it.

You wrote regarding the 1947 film:"So painful that the reaction is rage against the filmmaker.  Deniability and 
transference is a strong coping mechanism."   We see this everyday when our new moms are given contradictory and damaging advice from others regarding breastfeeding.  Even with current information, these moms have to battle the self-judgement and denial of others- transfered to them.  Just so the "advisor"can cope with her past experiences.
