I was thinking about this last night and I came to a realization.
After reading comments on multiple articles about this whole thing I realized that these women are doing this with what seems to only be boys. The woman on the cover of time is pictured with her son, and the woman I babysat for was doing this with her son.
If it was really about better health and a better bonding situation, why do the girls not deserve the same treatment? It seems to me that if it happens more often with boys, there is something else going on there.
GROSS.
