This is not because they suddenly turn gay. It is a barbaric way of establishing a pecking order. Also to get rid of the itching water.

This is another point of contention I have. Most people view promiscuity by females to be far worse than promiscuity by males.

It is because women are mothers or potentially, mothers and besides everything else, have to set an example.

What child likes to see mother flaunting her boobs or showing her underwear every time she bends own?

actually I'm pretty sure most kids wouldn't give a damn ... unless you've already brain washed them into thinking its bad

You sure spring from a classy background, John!

Should you be boasting?

I asked you a question - " You're taken in by that nonsense?"

Do you seriously believe what you said?

If so, what are you basing that assumption on?

Yes, I seriously do. The reason is because the balance of research suggests it is correct.

Like all research, there are opposing viewpoints, but I do think research is a better basis for opinion than intuition.

It's a complex issue and sexual assault does have various motivators such as sexual entitlement, sexual satisfaction, power, anger, sadism etc.

Those attacking strangers tend toward the power/anger end of the spectrum

I've heard that some males can't complete the sex act without employing violence. . .

I think it is more of frustration, accumulation of semen that has to be spilt to derive bodily comfort.

Pope Francis Welcomes Mothers To Breastfeed In The Sistine Chapel

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/12/pope-francis-breastfeeding_n_6456314.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000037

This past Sunday, Pope Francis celebrated the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord by baptizing 33 babies in the Sistine Chapel, NBC News reports. During the mass, the Catholic leader encouraged the infants' mothers to breastfeed their babies.

"You mothers give your children milk and even now, if they cry because they are hungry, breastfeed them, don't worry," Pope Francis declared in his homily. According to Reuters, the written sermon used the Italian phrase for "give them milk," but during his remarks, the Pope changed it to "allattateli," which directly translates to "breastfeed them."

During the mass, Pope Francis also asked the congregation to think of the impoverished mothers around the world -- "too many, unfortunately, who cant give food to their children," he said, according to NBC News.

Pope Francis has shown his support for breastfeeding in public in the past. In a December 2013 interview with La Stampa, the religious leader declared that moms shouldn't feel ashamed to nurse their babies outside the home:

At the Wednesday General Audience the other day there was a young mother behind one of the barriers with a baby that was just a few month s old. The child was crying its eyes out as I came past. The mother was caressing it. I said to her: madam, I think the child’s hungry. “Yes, it’s probably time…” she replied. “Please give it something to eat!” I said. She was shy and didn’t want to breastfeed in public, while the Pope was passing. I wish to say the same to humanity: give people something to eat!

In a time when women are often shamed for nursing their children in public, it's good to know that one of the world's most influential leaders is in support of breastfeeding mothers.
