  • Ehh, it's funny and Gisele is always a over the top but I actually think it's pretty cool when stars share breastfeeding pics.  I think it helps with the negativity and weird sexual hangups around breastfeeding.

    lol.

    This is so far from reality for most moms that it isn't even funny.  People are not going to change their perspective over a picture of a model BFing while getting her nails done.  Get out of here with that nonsense.

    Esp. from a supermodel who thinks it should be law to breastfeed for 6 months. Law!

    No, most people won't change their perspective.  I do think the joke is funny because this particular celebrity is ridiculous (especially because she wrote something stupid about "multitasking" which is beyond ridiculous).  I still think it's pretty cool when celebrities show the world they BF and if enough do it maybe there wouldn't be such a stigma about it. I really don't think it's that bad here in the US but I know BFing in Europe can be really looked down upon and that makes me a little sad.  It's not about this picture alone, just the general action of people in the spotlight I was commenting on.

  • @Bruins I just saw the picture of Gisele on FB, I thought that's what this was. I should probably open the link before commenting. Lol

    I think the article is hilarious! I just meant that breastfeeding proudly while getting your photo taken is awesome. The whole "multitasking" thing is comical though. Lol :)

  • I can't stand Gisele. For so many reasons. She needs to STFU. I know I'm not alone, so I don't think she's the best person to start talking about BFing. I'd much rather see a celeb who seems a bit more "real" like Jennifer Garner. Gisele's comment about the BFing law was over the top and meant to create controversy, so I don't really put too much stock into anything she says. As someone who plans to BF, I applaud the intent behind her comments and picture (I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt here), but her pretentiousness doesn't help the intent come across at all.

  • Honestly, I don't think the Emmy version is funny.  Mocking someone for breastfeeding (no matter how ridiculous or pretentious the Gisele image is) is what perpetuates women into feeling shameful about nursing in public settings.  If Gisele had been feeding her daughter a bottle with the same caption, would Emmy have attacked that too? 

    Gisele's image was a juxtaposition of a natural, normal mother nursing against her reality of being a supermodel.  It may not be anyone else's reality, but it is her's and she is not shaming anyone in her photo.

    Emmy's image was making fun of another woman and of the act of nursing, which I can't support.  I can understand why others may see the humour in it, but I just don't.

    If she'd been holding a bottle, I still think Emmy would've posted the pic. I don't think the mocking is about breastfeeding at all, but more about Gisele and her "hard" lifestyle. At least that's how I see it If it was someone other than Gisele, it probably wouldn't have been nearly as hilarious, at least to me, but given how Gisele is so vocal on so many things and so... perfect.. (in her own mind), that is what makes it funny. IMO. But hey, whatevs! :)

  • Team RAB. It is funny and Emmy isn't poking fun at the BF, but the pretentiousness that Gisele can relate to BF working mothers, bc look! She can multitask!

    I cannot stand Gisele and her ugg wearing husband.

    Fair enough, I'm not on IG nor am I familiar with either Emmy or Gisele.  I still don't think it's funny, but can understand if others do based on Gisele's alleged comments/behaviours.

    I'm not on IG either and have no idea who Emmy is (other than her name, which I've heard once or twice). But the little I know about Gisele is that she's pretentious and arrogant. Who knows though, I could be wrong and it's just the image that has been portrayed by the media. We're not BFFS :) regardless, we can just agree to disagree. especially since this is such a silly matter to even be talking about :)

  • Right on. Lol I just wanted to hear peoples' opinions. :) It is funny, but then again, whatever. This is Gisele's reality... I didn't even know who that Emmy person was, just happened to see this. I could care less about BF in public. I see how some places it really should be covered up or done in private, but other than that whats the big deal.

    I really don't think there is any place a woman should be told to cover up or go to a private place.  If you feel more comfortable as a BFing mom then go for it but it's the idea that others feel a woman can/should only feed her child in certain areas that's the problem.
