Can we come up with a name for this phenomenon? Males such as Dr. Phil and
John Rosemond who dish out parenting "advice" which always ends up centering
on ways of making sure that the baby :

1. does not "come between" or "intrude" on the (more important) marital
relationship of the parents

and 2. does not appropriate his/her mother's breasts, because those belong
to...(guess who)

None of it really has anything to do with breastfeeding, or parenting for
that matter. It's getting predictable.
