Spain is one of those socialist countries somewhere in Europe. As such, people who live in Spain don’t have to work all 666 days of the year. And now, just to add to the socialism, Spanish fathers get to take time off from work, to breastfeed their children:
The European Union Court of Justice has ruled that working fathers in Spain have the same right to breastfeeding leave as do moms.
Thursday’s ruling grants Spanish dads the same rights as the mother of their child to leave work up to twice a day for a total of an hour or to shorten their workday by 30 minutes for the first nine months of the baby’s life.
The court called the law “an unjustified discrimination on grounds of sex” in that fathers weren’t granted breastfeeding leave in the same instances as women were.
Socialism or Justice?

My dad refused to breastfeed me. He said he hadn't known me long enough.
I didn't know that man-boobs were so prevalent in Europe.
Moobs or GTFO!
Stan: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But you can't have babies.
Stan: Don't you oppress me.
Reg: Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
No one expects the Spanish Impregnation!!
Next thing, men are going to demand equal access to all those European topless beaches.
You can milk anything with a nipple
Fox News has certainly proved that with Sarah Palin.
*blinks a lot*
A new twist on the old “You can’t get blood from a turnip” cliché.
It doesn't say the man has to use his own breasts. One you realize that, the possibilities are almost endless.
Mark Foley books vacation to Spain in 3…2…1…
In other news, the European Union Court of Justice has ruled that all women's restrooms must contain urinals.
You know, I practice breast-feeding regularly, but I can't ever get any milk to come out, no matter how much I suckle.
And that reminds me of one of the saddest things about growing old, its the realization, there comes a day, it will come to you, it comes to all of us, there comes a day, when as you are there enjoying the joy of having a nipple in your mouth, you suddenly realize, that you can't tell whether those hairs you feel are your nostril hairs or her nipple hairs.
You might consider growing a mustache.
We've got the cutest home video of my (then) 4-month old daughter and me at the beach, where I'm cradling her in my arms and she rolls her head over and just starts sucking away.
She's 15 now, so whenever I feel like embarrassing the hell out her, I cue that one up.
That’ll warp just about any young mind. She’ll probably grow to be serial killer, politician or a musician.
My parents use to love to show the old home movies of 8-month-old Me on a blanket, in the backyard, just stone cold grabbin' and munchin' a big Daddy Long Legs.
As one wonkateer to another: You need to find a higher class of tranny.
Well, if you live in a communist country, you might as well learn how to milk the system.
i wouldn't mind breast feeding for an hour a day. And I'm not even hungry.
Sweet!
