Oxytocin is not a "cuddle hormone." It is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions.

If you don't want your words to be taken out of context, use the correct words to make your point.

"You can claim that boobs are made for nutrition not sexual needs but your incorrect,"

Actually, I have claimed neither.

Breasts have a dual purpose. They nurse/bf chidren. They are also sexual organs.

"To use a link about monkeys to support your views is humurous."

What's even more humerous, is that there's no mention of monkeys here.

Humans, yes. Monkeys, no.

"Dettwyler writes that nursing a four year old, or even a six year old, is both "normal and natural for humans."

"Small provides evidence for this claim from data from both ancient and contemporary human cultures. Analysis of the remains of American Indian bones from a site near the Missouri River shows definitive evidence that infants were breastfed exclusively for the first year of life and then gradually weaned when they were approximately five years old."

"You really should practice what your preach."

I have offered opinions, as well as evidence, to support those opinions.

Something you have clearly and repeatedly failed to do.

In the meantime, I suggest prefacing your statements with "IMO". Very simple really :)

"When you're Queen of the World, I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime, the mother and child in question are under no obligation to cater to other people's issues."

"No, she's debating the topic, which is what most of us are also doing."

Yep!

"What we HAVE claimed is that you cannot speak for all people, which you have by saying it is not necessary to nurse a school-aged child. To say that with any certainty you would have to know EVERY school aged child, and something tells me you don't."

Bingo!
