Alyssa Milano She is an actress whom many of us know for starring in the Bewitched (Charmed) series that in recent years is being recognized as one of the defenders of breastfeeding, by showing herself openly breastfeeding her children in several photos and, actually, there where his children have needed him.
Yesterday, Alyssa was invited to a television program to talk about breastfeeding and at one of the moments of the interview the presenter, Wendy Williams, he said she was one of those that does not support breastfeeding in public because, as he explained, "I don't need to see that".
"I would breastfeed in the car"
This is the video in which everything happens, and the scene in which they disagree you can see it from 4:40, when the presenter confesses that she is one of those who have the opinion that it is not something that should be done in public. At that moment, Alyssa asks about it: "What is your problem with it? Do you like to eat under a rag?", And the presenter replies that what I would do is breastfeed in the car.
Woman's breasts vs the baby's need
Williams then focuses on talking about breasts, how he considers them a sexual part of women, most of the time, and that breastfeeding is something that is done very little time ago. Something like "for what little they are used to feed a baby, we must consider their sexual function as the main one, and as such, they should hide even if the baby has to eat."
And that's when Milano refers to the hypocrisy of seeing normal that Miley Cirus appears in a dress in which she practically teaches everything and something to avoid that a mother breastfeed her baby in front of other people.
"Biologically they are not created to be sexual things"
And Alyssa, in a phrase that seems a lie that has to be said in the 21st century clarifies that the breasts are not biologically created to be sexual things, but that we, as a society, have given this function.
Finally, and settle the matter, he says "because you are lucky that I do not have my baby here, because I would breastfeed."
And I thought this was just happening ...
A couple of days ago I saw a social experiment in which a woman was breastfeeding a baby in the subway and an actor recriminated her action, asking her to do it in another car because she felt uncomfortable knowing that she was breastfeeding her baby :
I saw how people supported the woman and felt that it is difficult for this to happen today, for someone to tell a mother breastfeeding that this is not right. Maybe it's the desire that everything changes, or the logic that says that there will come a time when the force of seeing many women breastfeeding will end up being normal for everyone, but look, just a day later I find myself with the video of Alyssa Milano and then I say to myself that "no, look, there are still absurd people who don't even know how to explain what they think about breastfeeding in public whose best argument is to say that breasts have to be hidden because they are sexual things."
Luckily we have mothers, women and actresses capable of responding to it to the point of leaving the other person without arguments. Do not you think?
