Well, I didn't , did I ? I will say that women are , by their very nature , better suited for doing it.

And as far as women being "naturally" better at things, I don't think that is necessarily true. I think my sister would make a great mom. She is a "natural" nurturer.

No.

Men cannot feed the baby from their own body. Yes, there are alternatives. However, I think breast milk is "best" for the kid, if possible.
Whoever is best suited to care for and raise the child can/should be the primary caregiver.

-What is your definition of a feminist?

A person who believes in equal rights for men and women, and equal pay for equal work.

- What are the goals and main objectives?

See above.

- Why does it have a negative image?
