Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

I think you're misreading this. Samuel was taking care of the baby at home because his part time job allowed him more free time to take care of the baby while Jocelyn's full time job didn't allow it. Jocelyn tried using a breast pump to fill up bottles so their baby could be fed while Samuel was at home taking care of the baby but due to her dwindling milk supply she wasn't able to pump enough milk. Thus Samuel drove the baby to Jocelyn's work so the baby could breastfeed from Jocelyn directly without having to use a pump and bottle. No where in that paragraph does it indicate Samuel was breastfeeding the baby.

Yah, easy to find editorials on the subject but hard to find scientific journals. Here's one more piece, but I don't favor spending my time on this tangent. it's proof positive it exists, but then again, why are we debating this beyond the 'challenge accepted', i'm not sure...

Because time4fun's argument is that there are more than two genders and her so called proof is there are people with different combinations of chromosomes other than XX or XY (which is true but that's almost always due to a mental health condition and nothing to do with gender dysphoria) and also that there is a civilization out there where the men are the ones who breastfeed the babies and this has been done for as long as these people can remember. While it's possible men could produce breast milk this will almost always be due to drugs the man is on, some sort of medical procedure the man underwent, or some sort of genetic anomaly. Outside of these reasons it's highly unlikely a man would ever produce enough breast milk to feed a baby, much less an entire civilization of men breastfeeding babies. But time4fun insists the men of this tribe just decided to be ones who breastfeed babies and therefore they took up that role. That is impossible given each and every single thing we know about human biology.

To re-iterate what I said above, I'm pretty sure she's talking about the Aka and misinterpreting something she read. I studied the Aka fairly heavily as part of my degree. The babies suckle on the men's nipples but it's a co-parenting thing, not a sustenance thing, the men haven't 'replaced women' as breastfeeders, and it's certainly not some kind of ancient tradition.

I'm legitimately interested in hearing which culture this is, if it's not the Aka.

If it is the Aka, which it probably is, then she won’t respond, because she wasn’t expecting anyone here to actually know anything about them or at least not more than whatever is on the first google result.

Hey look at that, first Google result for "group of men who breastfeed" is:

Are the men of the African Aka tribe the best fathers in the world?

This is correct.

To varying extents, many of us are biological hybrids on a male-female continuum. Researchers have found XY cells in a 94-year-old woman, and surgeons discovered a womb in a 70-year-old man, a father of four. New evidence suggests that the brain consists of a “mosaic” of cell types, some more yin, others further along the yang scale.

You're retarded.
