Emily Ratajkowski, the photo with her baby at the breast (and the reason for the controversy)

Can a simple and tender caption come «beautiful boy» generate a queue of controversy? Well yes, proof of this is the last post of Emily Ratajkowski, which he has published on his very followers social pages a great photo of her that breastfeeding the newborn son, Sylvester Apollo. To fuel the rain of criticism, however, it was not the image, but the caption, apparently really harmless.

Some followers – only on Instagram he has any over 27 million – accused her of having reneged on the word in that, «labeling it as little boy», Gave it a gender connotation. “I knew your son was going to be gender neutral, that he would choose hers sexual identity», Comments a user, receiving hundreds of consents. «Because you wrote boy? Let it be what do you prefer».

Everything comes from statements which Emily released last October a Vogue America, nell’cover interview, a few weeks after knowing he was pregnant: “Here because I don’t want to reveal my child’s gender», Read on the cover of the magazine. “Since the word of mine got around pregnancy, many ask us if we know if it is male or female», The actress explained later.

«We like to answer that we will not know the sex until our son has 18 years and he will reveal it to us, “she added, also speaking on her husband’s behalf Sebastian Bear-McClard. “Everyone laughs, but this joke hides one important truth: we have no idea spending – O what – is growing in my belly“. Phrases that, of course, should be elaborated with rationality and common sense.

Despite some of the community for the freedom of definition ofsexual identity seems to argue otherwise, Emily’s speech remains valid: beyond the stereotypesin fact, his son will be free to be what he wants. It will certainly not be a «beautiful boy» to condition the choice.
