Well, first, don't you "think" their name implies that the rest of us, who
disagree with them, don't think?  I missed the first part, but I think they
were promoting the new book "at the breast."  One of their on air tales was
from the salon Sept 97 issue "creme Boob-lee".   They talk about "Mothering
Magazine" as one of their competitors and make no bones about ridiculing
it.
The general tone of what I heard  was sort of feminism gone screwy with BF
as a scapegoat.

To me feminism is the right to love my female self and value what I, as a
female can do, that no man can.  (Is this why so many formula reps are
men?).  Feminism is also the right to appreciate men for all they can do
that I can't.  Feminism is the right to equal pay for equal work and equal
pay for similar work. Feminism is the right to be different, not bad, or
wrong or inferior, but different.

By putting down BF these women do not value what females only can do.  They
do not value different opinions.  And they use ridicule, sarcasim and
twisted 1/2 truths to prove their points.  All guised under the umbrella
that they "think".  And they are doing their "thinking" in a very public
way.   I "think" these ladies have LOTS of unresolved issues and need to
see Dr. Jack once a week for at least an hour of therapy for a long time
until they get their heads on straight. (new career Jack!)

Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
