Someone protects her, and someone considers the act of a young mother disgusting.
Model Mara Martin suddenly became more famous than all her colleagues. She was an ordinary model until she dared to bare her breasts at the swimsuit show on Sports Illustrated. And not to please the audience, but to feed the baby.
Mara became a mother five months ago, she had a charming baby girl. The young mother found the strength to quickly recover from childbirth – enough to participate in the fashion show. She also did not refuse breastfeeding. Moreover, I decided not to interrupt even for the sake of going to the podium.
“Those who know me know that it was my dream to do this. I can’t believe I woke up and saw all these headlines, ”says Mara. “All These Headlines” is about the world’s media. There are indeed plenty of headlines. And not all of them are neutral. Many contain the words “disgusting” and “disgusting”. “What’s next? – write in the comments. – Public defecation?
We, too, cannot believe that Mara did not foresee such an outcome. After all, the dispute between those who do not see anything wrong with breastfeeding in public and those who are sharply opposed has not stopped for a good ten years. And she poured a good portion of oil into this fire.
“It’s humiliating,” Mara says. – On this day there were many events more worthy of the attention of journalists. One woman is sent to the army two weeks later. Another had a mastectomy. The third managed to overcome cancer, win two Olympic gold medals and become a mother. These are the stories that need to be told. And breastfeeding is normal. All women should be free to do this. ”
By the way, the organizers of the show had nothing against the act of Mary. It was known about him in advance. And they even supported her. It is not known, however, why: do they really think that it is necessary to promote breastfeeding, or did they perfectly understand what a surge in attention to the show would entail such a fashion show.
Interview
In your opinion, is it okay to breastfeed in public?
Why not? You never know where the baby wants to eat.
This is an intimate affair, putting it on display is shamelessness.
If you are not feeding at home, you can always find a secluded corner.
If you cover yourself with a scarf, then no one will notice anything. No need to make an elephant out of a fly!
Going to restaurants while you are breastfeeding is not the most necessary activity. Need to guess at feeding.
