If a woman's breasts are exposed in a sexualised or seductive way, it's acceptable. If a woman is feeding her baby, however, many consider it inappropriate. Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel wrote about how she has experienced this double standard in an Instagram post picturing her infant son. "Many women today are shamed for breastfeeding in public, or even kicked out of public places for feeding their children," she wrote. " I have been made to feel the need to cover up and somewhat shy to feed my baby in public places but strangely feel nothing for the topless editorials I've done in the name of art..? The world has been desensitized to the sexualization of the breast and to violence on tv...why should it be different when it comes to breastfeeding? Breastfeeding is not sexual it's natural. Those who feel it is wrong to feed your child in public need to get educated on the benefits breastfeeding has on mother and child and in [turn] on society as a whole." "Dad bods" are considered attractive, but women are expected to lose baby weight after giving birth.
