I think my high school biology teacher mentioned that prolactin, a
hormone that induces milk production, actually did cause lactation in
male guinea pigs.

Prolactin, the New Man's illegal drug of the '90s!  Watch for a surge in
its popularity among new fathers.  Any day now, the DEA will uncover
shockingly high prolactin abuse among male babysitters.  Phyllis
Schadfly will have an apoplectic fit.
