In a recent cover shoot for Girls. Girls. Girls. magazine, Canadian actress Rachel McAdams of “Notebook” fame did the shoot wearing Bulgari diamonds, Versace designer clothes, and a pair of plastic breast pumps, which has set off a firestorm across social media, mostly from feminists who are all-in on the photo, calling it “empowering.”
I find the photo weird and stupid. Girls. Girls. Girls. publisher Claire Rothstein had this to say about the cover photo via Instagram….
“A million reasons why I wanted to post this picture. Obviously #rachelmcadams looks incredible and was quite literally the dream to work with but also this shoot was about 6 months post her giving birth to her son, so between shots she was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding. We had a mutual appreciation disagreement about who’s idea it was to take this picture but I’m still sure it was hers which makes me love her even more. Breastfeeding is the most normal thing in the world and I can’t for the life of me imagine why or how it is ever frowned upon or scared of. I don’t even think it needs explaining but just wanted to put this out there, as if it even changes one person’s perception of something so natural, so normal, so amazing then that’s great. Besides she’s wearing Versace and @bulgariofficial diamonds and is just fucking major. Big shout out to all the girls.”

Not everyone was thrilled by the “empowering” photo, however….
"Power statement?" How about classless? A cadaver pumping milk in an "Oh, look at me!" pic is as empowering as watching a fat old man ejaculate into a shot glass.

I agree. Some bizarre Zeitgeist statement that looks more like, "Hey, everybody, look at me, I'm empowered." No, you're not, you're just weird. My wife pumped for all four of our children, but she never photographed it and pinned the pics on telephone poles all over town.

McAdams just looks like an ass. No "bad" to it?
