"

But still full of people stoning because it was an insulting act!

But of course, there's always criticism from social media and from the crowd:

“Wait until the baby grows up to see this picture! I hope she won't be embarrassed and teased by others ”

“No, you can't do everything you want, model. You lack moderation. "

"Let the baby out of your bad ideas, model"

"It's seen as completely unprofessional and ridiculous. It's not about the exposed images of women's breasts, it's about public respect."

"You used your own child to get attention…"

And a lot of criticism from the online community for this image.

Besides, there were many compliments, cheers and cheers for this beautiful image of breastfeeding.

“She is a wonderful new mother and a professional model as well as a role model for her daughter. Thank you for further promoting breastfeeding! "

“This is amazing !! Thank you for making this as showing the world (especially men) that this is the most natural thing in the world and the main function of women's breasts is here !! "

“Mara, I couldn't stop happily seeing this image…. you showed the world a normal body of a mother on the runway… proud, strong and beautiful. Thanks for inspiring all women! "

And the positive comments just kept rolling in, drowning critics, always seeing the negativity.

Mother Mara's decision to bring her baby on the floor

As Aria's mother, she knows her daughter when to suck and to suck. Mara has clearly made a wise choice to perform with her child knowing she will be fine. After all, no mother would deliberately put her baby in danger, right?

SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day explained that it was definitely not planned in advance.

"It's a spontaneity," explains MJ. “When I was talking with the girls backstage before the show started, I found that baby Mara was sleeping while still breastfeeding. I asked Mara if she wanted to go and continue to breastfeed. She happily said 'Oh my God, yes! Really? Are you sure I can still perform and hold my baby? ', And I say absolutely!

“I love this idea to be able to allow Mara to nurture and highlight how amazing and beautiful women are. For me, I take care of the two kids myself, so I find it to be one of the most beautiful things a female body can do. That is the simplest decision. "

Mara breastfeeding on the catwalk is a win for all women

When Mara walked down the catwalk, she confidently destroyed some of the sad stereotypes about women that exist in society.

The first thing is obvious. She normalizes breast-feeding.

If people have no problem seeing the breasts of non-breastfeeding bikini models in the SI versions, why is it annoying now to see real breast function? Mara is also simply breastfeeding in public - this has generated a lot of controversy over the years, and she helps break this stigma.

Next, she gave an example for women around the world returning to work that wasn't always related to stopping breastfeeding. Employers should take note of MJ's comments and lead the way for breastfeeding-friendly initiatives in the workplace.

Finally, Mara breaks down the misconceptions about the image of the body and of women. Her body certainly doesn't match the accepted (stereotyped) notion of a model's figure.

She has big, strong legs and thighs, and a chest heavy with milk. Mara has confidently modeled on a mother's normal body. She clearly doesn't think about what other people think.

Here at The Asiaparent Vietnam, we welcome this woman and the team at SI to help break stereotypes about women.

This is a world in which US presidents downplay the benefits of breastfeeding for commercial good; where an 11 year old girl in India was raped by 17 men; where women are teased and feel inferior on many levels; and where women in the workplace still earn less than men.

This is why it is important that we, as women, stand behind Mara and welcome her.

She's just a powerful image in the rug that strong women began weaving in the past, and we MUST continue to weave to create the multifaceted stereotypes that women still face.
