SOCIAL MOMS

SOCIAL MOMS

I recently found an article among the Google daily news recommendations talking about Fedez (an Italian rapper) posting her pregnant wife, Chiara Ferragni, on social media just wearing  a tiny bikini to show her pregnancy (while people starve all over the world and people in Brasil are intubated without sedative because of the health crisis the country is facing). Chiara isn't the only woman building an empire off social media being an influencer and, like many other celebrities, she feels the rush of sharing every single moment of her gravidity with her followers. Why the fuck should we care? She isn't doing anything different any other woman able to get pregnant and go through the 9 month gestation period does. The real issue is that, unfortunately, there's a growing amount of VIPs and women in general becoming social media addicted when it comes to sharing their gynecological path from sonogram number one, to opening up a personal account exclusively for the newborn (sometimes we talk about unborn, see the case of Mike The Situation from Jersey Shore). What leaves me speechless is that majority of these women are often the first ones shocked about the issue of online pedophilia, screaming out loud against these psycopaths (there's no doubt they are sick individuals) robbing the internet of child photography. Excuse me but, don't you understand that you're part of the problem? Don't you realize how hypocrite you are? You lack doing the necessary to protect your children's anonymity covering them with pictures, as they were shooting the next Versace campaign, and taping them dressed as "grown ups" while repeating the same dance moves they watch on tv and on the internet (which are most of the times oversexualized, especially when we talk about the female figures). Those same moms were upset when Cuties was released on Netflix in 2020 to the point they tried to ban the streaming platform; those same moms who were filming their own minor "cuties" shaking their ass to songs about sex and of explicit content, just to proudly create another social media post. You might feel the need to "be somebody" and see the likes coming from the virtual reality but, please, protect the children and their innocence! We, adults, are ruining the next generation even before they have a real chance at life, even before they learn that the internet is NOT the reality. Thank you for reading, I deeply hope this society will be better in the near future. Martina.
