While Gisele can make most women feel inadequate without even opening her mouth, now she’s going around talking about breastfeeding, and how it should be made mandatory by law—worldwide—to breastfeed for at least six months.
“Some people here [in the US] think they don’t have to breastfeed, and I think ‘Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?’ I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months.”
Yes, Gisele, let’s make women who can’t or don’t breastfeed for whatever reason feel even more inadequate as mothers by criminalizing them. Fact: breast milk is better for babies. Other Fact: many women can not breastfeed, for myriad reasons, and most of them feel bad enough about it as it is. Some babies won’t latch, no matter how much their mothers struggle to make them. Some women must take medications that would be dangerous to their children if transmitted to them via breastmilk. Some women, particularly in certain African countries, have HIV/AIDS and cannot breastfeed. Some women in this world don’t get enough to eat to feed themselves, let alone produce breast milk.
And let’s also touch for a second on the fact that making it mandatory for any woman to do ANYTHING with her body is a form of oppression. Thankfully, supermodels are not the boss of us, so I don’t expect this proposed international law to become an issue.
Nevertheless, allow me to summarize my point: OMFG STFU GISELE. Why don’t you go back to making women feel bad about how they look naked?
