    Well, women’s actually work. Men’s are just decorative.

    Also men’s also used to be banned. I think it was 1937 they could first go topless.

      Nonsense. You’ll have to take some prolactin supplements, but then those babies will work right as rain.

        But does it? I actually wondered recently.

        It sounded like lactation would be blocked by other hormones. Or was that just about increasing prolactin production?

        Taking it continuously might work, but inducing it sounded hopeless.

              Suck/pump. Starting with 5 minutes three times a day if I recount correctly.

              What happens during pregnancy seems to be high levels of estrogen and progesterone, which increase prolactin levels and inhibit lactation. Followed by a drop of estrogen and progesterone levels, but prolactin staying high for some time and lactation starts. The baby sucking then results in more prolactin being released.

      What does that have to do with censoring? Should we censor their eyes and legs, too?

      And there were probably glorious days long before 1937 when everyone could walk around naked in suitable climates & weather with no problem.
