Hilaria shares her children with husband Alec Baldwin
Hilaria Baldwin is clapping back at negative comments surrounding her daughter's clothing options.
In a Monday, Jan. 19, Instagram post, the mom of seven, 41, who shares her children with husband Alec Baldwin, responded to commenters who questioned her 12-year-old daughter Carmen's outfit from a previously uploaded video. In the clip, the tween wore a white tank top, beige skirt and black tights as she did a voiceover with her younger sisters.
"How on earth do you let a 12 y/o dress like this … EVERYTHING!" the comment read.
The comment Hilaria Baldwin responded to
In response, Baldwin shared a nearly five-minute video addressing the negative reaction from some commenters to her daughter's appearance.
"Hi I'm Hilaria Baldwin, and I want to talk about how this comment relates to Pi, the patriarchy, and keeping us all very sad," she began. "I've learned from a lot of really incredible people, scientists, feminists, super wise women, what this is about and how we can all do better so that the next generation doesn't have to deal with the garbage that we've had to deal with."

The doting mom continued using pie as an analogy for Darwinism and patriarchy's role in shaping beauty standards for women in society.
"We think that there's only a certain amount of resources, so we all have to go and run to grab our slice of the pie and any person in our way, boom, boom boom. Gotta knock them out of the way," she said. "This is not true."
She continued going through what she deemed as the "life cycles of being female," making three separate sections representing childhood, adulthood and senior life.
"We're going to go through the life cycles of being female. So over here we have baby/girl, little and they cause no harm. This is called safe zone, okay," she said. "Then we have women in their prime, not safe zone. Then we have old lady, this is safe zone again."
"When we're babies and little girls, it's a safe zone, right? They don't intimidate, they don't want pie," she added. "There's women in their prime, that's where the pie eating is happening. Always remember, pies, cakes, ice cream, so many desserts, you could always make more. Old ladies, safe zone. [They] think that all of a sudden we get here, there's no more pie again."

Baldwin said that these transitions in "life are uncomfortable," sharing the importance of nurturing young tweens into adulthood without shame.
"The way to take care of them is not through Instagram comments or shaming," she said. "What I do with my kids [is] I talk about it with them, like 'hey, you've got to be careful online [and] on the street,' so my kids, don't worry, my kids are so safe."
"Wearing a tank top and a skirt and tights. She's been wearing that her whole life. So why is it making you uncomfortable?" she shared, adding that she believes every stage of life can become a "safe zone" with a change in approach. "Yes, teach about predators, but ultimately women can do more harm to each other through this kind of comment because it's shaming and it's not inclusive."
"We belong to each other. We're like on the same team. Once we stop pretending and get serious of the fact that we think there's not enough pie, we realize that there's enough pie," she concluded. "We can make more pies, and we can share our recipe, we can all be safe, take care of each other, all of it inclusive [and on the] same team."
Baldwin and Alec are also parents to sons Rafael Thomas, 10, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 9, Romeo Alejandro David, 7, and Eduardo 'Edu' Pao Lucas, 5, and daughters María Lucía Victoria, 4, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 2. Alec and his ex-wife, Kim Basinger, are also parents to Ireland Baldwin, 29.
