Carol says,
<< Women are scary! Traditionally, women's power is awesome and unfathomable
and unmatched by anything men do - that's why men try to subjugate and
dominate them. And traditional western medicine is 100% a male-designed
set-up - the hierarchy, the trial-by-fire of medical training, the
competitive structure of the field, the whole thing just reeks of
testosterone! But birth and breastfeeding are all about WOMEN, so it just
provokes over-reaction. The bigger the fear, the more the hostility. >>
Hey -- good thing the men have the birth part under control. They've
convinced all the women that "being in control, a la epidurals" is how to
have The Perfect Birth.
Now let's see what they do for breastfeeding.
