My friend Amy King posted this video on Face­book. I am not sure why the breast­feed­ing expert is sit­ting naked in a bath­tub in a can­dlelit room, and I have to admit that image does make it dif­fi­cult to take the video seri­ously at first, but you should not allow that to detract from what the video has to say, which is inter­est­ing if only because it points out yet one more sup­pos­edly essen­tial and absolute dif­fer­ence between men and women that is, in real­ity, nei­ther absolute nor essen­tial. (To be on the safe side, you prob­a­bly should con­sider the video NSFW.)

  The breast­feed­ing expert is in the tub maybe because her part­ner is breast­feed­ing and she now has more time for her­self to relax.
  Inter­est­ing to say the least, rev­o­lu­tion­ary at core.

  I was a bit both­ered by the whole expert-in-tub thing — it seemed a lit­tle objec­ti­fy­ing. But over­all, yes, inter­est­ing video.
