— Ace Sweden. Where else.
The Swedish dad who's spent the last few months attempting to squeeze milk from his breasts has thrown in the towel, with nothing more than "sore breasts" to show for his efforts.Student Ragnar Bengtsson, 26, said that male lactation "could prove very important for men's ability to get much closer to their children at an early stage".
Child Welfare Services just emailed me to say male lactation could be very important for men's ability to have their children taken from that at an early stage.
...His efforts, which involved "stimulating his breasts with a pump" at three-hour intervals, were followed by a television crew...
Assuming he's not just punking the media: Some people take this "gender is just a state of mind" thing kind of literally, eh?
Why didn't he also endeavor to grow a detachable tail like a salamander? Maybe species is a state of mind too. Don't impose you speciesist categories on me, man.
Thanks to ArthurK.

That guy, Jared, from the Subway ads, did it when abusing fiber supplements to lose all that weight. He used to mix half of the big, economy-sized, ten-dollar jug of Metamucil into a two-liter bottle of water and chug it before bedtime.
On the morning following the first night he did this, he invented the five-dollar foot-long.

The Japanese also have a facial hair thing going on now. Since they typically can't grow a full beard, even a lame one will apparently cut it with the chicks. And if they can't grow one at all, transplants and fakes are all the rage, though I've read that the fakes tend to detach during humid weather (which is most of the time).
These guys sure spend a lot of time trying to mask their inferiority complex with a superiority complex.

managed to successfully lactate some time ago, his wife died and his baby was going to go hungry if he didn't. And Thorazine taken over a long period of time will make a guy lactate. So then you'd be crazy, drooling, and able to breastfeed, but I'd guess the milk wouldn't be very good for the baby.
That's good to know.

49 -- don't fib, you didn't kid -- be sure to clean the pump out afterwards, hygiene, hygiene!
There have been a couple of accounts of fathers under extreme circumstances (death of mother) actually managing to pull off suckling their infants. I don't think it was a "gee, I wanna do that" sort of situation though -- maybe that's where Ragnar failed...or he's just batshit to begin with.

OK. I'm a font of useless trivia once again. . .
Someone may have already posted this, but it has been established that, in survival situations only, men can lactate just barely enough to keep a newborn from dying. For example: a couple in the middle of the desert, the mom dies in childbirth, and the father has to walk 200 miles to a village with women. He would be able to keep the baby alive, but there would be no thriving, weight gain, etc. It has been noted that this is extremely painful and the result is (again) only enough for the baby to not die.
That said, the Swedish guy is a moron and should have an immediate vasectomy (he probably already has once, now that I think on it) to prevent passing his stupidity on to future generations.

First of all, ick.
Secondly, as a mother, I can attest to the fact that it isnÂ’t all fun and games to breastfeed an infant.
Third, and on a more serious note, my ex-husband was furious that I breastfed our baby. He felt it somehow took away from “his” time with our son. He tried to convince the well baby nurses that I wouldn’t be able to do it and we should just switch to bottle feeding. Unfortunately, he did not realize he was up against the militant milking mama brigade and those nurses weren’t going to cave. End result, I breastfed for the first year and my ex-husband sulked a great deal about it.
