Victoria's Secret says goodbye to Angels in attempt to redefine 'sexy'
Spoiler alert: Megan Rapinoe is one of their new models. CEO Martin Waters says -- "We needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want."
Women want to be what men want. They want to identify with women who are young and beautiful. I say this as a feminist.
Now maybe you come to a point in your life where you realize even if you buy that bra, you won’t come closer to being 20 years old and a 10. And then you question your consumerism and your need for that bra, whether it will really make you feel sexier.
But if I see Rapinoe, or a 70 year old (even though I am closer to 70 than 20) or a woman who weighs 250 pounds, or a quite convincing MtoF transsexual, the consumerism and would be identification is going to be turned all the way off.
I wonder what the internalized beauty standards of the next generation will be. I think women will still want to be what men want.
