Last week, the internet called out Kate Hudson for describing her own cesarean section as “lazy.” I rolled my eyes when I read the headlines, thinking to myself, "of course she would be so careless to comment such." Hudson is featured on the October cover of the the magazine Cosmopolitan. Like many magazines, the cover person is interviewed and featured in a several page spread where they talk about their lives and their current projects.

Cosmopolitan does this cute little thing where they have their cute little cover girl fill out a form full of cutesy little questions and they print it in the person’s handwriting (including doodles and all, barf). This is where Hudson made a huge PR mistake, shaming her own body and more than 30% of women in United States' bodies. Hudson responds to the prompt, “Laziest thing I’ve ever done” by filling in the blank with, “Have a C-Section!”

Wow.

I like Kate Hudson; or, at least I liked her before the comment above. Where I’m finding this a little too ironic for me, her character in the movie “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” is a magazine writer for a publication similar to Cosmo, but wants to be taken more seriously as a writer, wanting to write about global politics. Right now I am that character, she isn’t even involved in the movie anymore. Her character in that movie would hate that comment that she made.

This stigma and stereotype surrounding C-Sections are not new; for years people have passed judgment by claiming that birth by cesarean section is not a real birth. A cesarean section still results in a child, and in most cases, is done in order to ensure the life of the mother and the child at the end of it all. Now, I am not a mother, but myself and my two siblings were brought into this world via C-Section. My mom was 110 pounds when she was pregnant with me (she is a naturally very small statured woman) before her first pregnancy, and she went into labor with me a month early. A cesarean section was my mom’s only choice. For many women, C-Sections are medically necessary and their only choice.

Many reacted to Hudson’s comment on Twitter, posting photos of the questionnaire that Hudson filled out in her own handwriting. Some were quick to put away their credit cards and cancel their online orders from her brand fitness wear brand, Fabletics. Hudson could’ve responded to the prompt by saying “sleeping for 20 hours straight,” or “I didn't leave my house or my pajamas for three days straight.” Come on, Kate, you’re an actress, you couldn’t come up with something a little more light-hearted and little less body shame-y?

The voice of my mother rang in my ears -- reminding me that the body takes a long time to heal from a c-section; she had three c-sections in nine years. A cesarean is MAJOR surgery that includes pulling one human being out of another human being. Nothing about this sound lazy at all.

I don’t hate Hudson; I think she is stupid for saying that, but I don't hate her. I am not surprised that the owner of a fitness wear company called 'Fabletics' is shaming the female body, but it is not in any way OK. Mothers are warriors and should be celebrated for the lives they brought into this world, not body shamed.
