Hmmm, very strange, I guess I am conditioned with gender roles here. 

 I loved breast feeding, it was my job as the mother and it was an amazing experience.  I don't know why woman are fighting their natural instincts of caring and nurturing their children.  Go with the flow, literally, when you have a baby, you lactate, that's how our bodies work.  There are so many woman out there so worried about equality and all that jazz that they are missing the big picture.  Being a mother and the responsibilties that come along with that is the most important amazing job in the world and I would not want anyone to ever replace me in that role in any way. 

Of course like one mom said if a man were stranded on a desert island- this is good to know info.

Very strange indeed!  Sort of weird when you think about it, but that is probably because it seems just, i don't know, wrong.  Probably because of how we are so gender specific.  Of course, if the man was stranded on a desert island it would come in handy, but that seems very unlikely.
