Canadian-American alternative rock singer Alanis Morissette has said that breastfeeding can be "intimidating". e 40-year-old songstress features in a new documentary 'The Milky Way' where she has opened up about society's hypocritical view of women, People Magazine reported.

The 'You Oughta Know' singer said that they live in a very funny society, a society that on one hand says that they are just a sexual object and then when this other sort of otherworldly, biological wind-in-the-hair goddess power comes out in the form of feeding their children in a very beautiful, animal way, that can actually be more intimidating.

The documentary seeks to expose this profit-driven marketing and deflate the current stigmas surrounding breastfeeding and, in the process, empower every woman to trust her body, her baby and herself in her journey as a mother.
