Diane asked "But why the cultural fondness among
our men for giving the occasional bottle? "

I don't know. I've given my sons expressed milk in a bottle but didn't see
anything great about it after doing it once or twice. I can never get
physically comfortable while doing this.
What I mostly enjoyed was when our first one was about 9 months and my wife
was at work I would feed him lunch. We ate like men. That is I moved his
high chair to the living room and we ate in front of the TV with the remote
in hand. (We watched Quincy reruns)
The dog cleaned up any evidence.
