Attitude towards pregnant women

Recently, on one of the popular Internet publications, Icame across a text written by a man. He told me what, in his opinion, the true beauty of a woman. The author insisted that this is what he thinks, and all the representatives of the strong half of mankind. In his opinion, the less a woman wears cosmetics, the fewer flashy and provocative things, the more modestly she behaves herself and the more puritan way of life she adheres to, the more real beauty in her, which, as everyone knows, is inside. But these are all your mini skirts, makeup, hairpins - this is for catching empty-headed males for one night. Moreover, a man insists that the most beautiful woman is pregnant. Like, the beauty of a woman generally originates in her stomach. Everything from there. And every man, looking at the future mother, is full of admiration, delight, ready to kneel and so on.Photo: Getty Images Yes, I see this look. From below. From the seat of the crowded subway car. On a standing woman. Haha. In my opinion (and not only), men may be ready to worship a pregnant woman, but preferably not getting up from a comfortable place. Proof of this - a social video, shot by two bloggers from the project Rakamakafo. The guys decided to see who is more likely to be helped on the streets of the city: a pregnant woman or a glamorous beauty. First the queue is a lady in position. A modest bunch, no makeup, shoes without a heel and two heavy bags. The girl drags them with obvious difficulty, stopping at every step. Most passers-by irritate the future mummy, as an annoying hindrance. Do not help, either plaintive sighs, or even direct requests for help: men just pretend that they do not hear the words addressed to them. Only an elderly man and an even older woman offered to help. According to statistics - every fifth passerby. And now the same girl wears a skirt, ankle boots on a tall hairpin, dissolves her hair and paints her lips. Only bags remain unchanged. Which it will not carry and a dozen meters - from those who want to help, there's no end. 70 percent of the people offered themselves as volunteer porters. The natural beauty of a pregnant woman? Yes, what is it - indifference, callousness, indifference? It's all at once and all of us at the same time. Portrait of a society. Galina Okhotnikova, psychologist, psychotherapist:It's not just men who react this way to pregnant women,all people in general. There is a certain type of people who look for negativity in everything. It’s not that they dislike pregnant women very much – first of all, they don’t love and respect themselves. The reason for such behavior is somewhere in childhood. And it’s not necessarily a gap in upbringing. After all, a child is not only under the parents’ wing, he is also influenced by the street, and kindergarten, and school. But those who are happy, treat pregnant women and everyone around them well. True, there are few such people – according to the latest research, only 14 percent. So the author of the text about the beauty of pregnant women, it seems, is one of these 14 percent and firmly believes that the rest are the same. Well, let him believe. If only such people don’t die out completely. Like mammoths.
