In recent years, we have seen how more and more women are working in politics or public service in some country, who in addition to fulfilling their duties, perform their work as mothers. From senators breastfeeding in parliament, to the Prime Minister of New Zealand announcing that she will take her maternity leave, they help make that role of women and mothers in important political positions more visible.
Now, a candidate for governor in the United States, appears breastfeeding her baby in a video to promote her political campaign in networks, which has caused divided reactions.
Kelda Roys is an entrepreneur, mother of four women, and in addition, she is currently a candidate for governor of Wisconsin, United States. Recently it caused a stir in networks after publishing a video for his political campaign on YouTube, in which he appears talking about the work he previously did as a state representative.
In it, she talks about how she learned about the existence of Bisphenol-A in baby bottles, a substance that could cause health problems, and how she worked to make Wisconsin one of the first states to ban it.
But the interesting thing about the video is not the prohibition of this dangerous substance, but what happens while she continues to speak in front of the camera. During the video, his family was on the recording set and there comes a time when his four-month-old daughter begins to cry.
Then, Kelda pauses to breastfeed her baby, but they decide to continue recording the video, so she continues talking while breastfeeding her daughter. Of course, Kelda's action did not go unnoticed and has caused various reactions in social networks.
On the one hand, there are those who applaud that initiative to do the most natural thing for a mother: pause and feed her baby who needs her at that moment. With that, many people consider that being a public figure, it helps to continue to normalize breastfeeding and represents working mothers.
But also, some people consider that it was not necessary to do it in front of the camera, especially if you could pause to feed your baby and then continue with the video without her present. There are those who think that more than helping to normalize breastfeeding or do it as something natural, he did so only to win voters and even question his ability to serve as governor for quitting what he was doing to feed his baby.
Personally I do not see the bad, because precisely in the video she talks about families and babies, and what she does is simply a sample of what happens in the lives of mothers and a clear example of how we do multiple things on a daily basis.
What do you think of the video?
