Just another attack on reality. Beauty is a gift of God and particularly when human beings are younger. Not one of his greater gifts since he spreads it around so liberally. But rather than admit this fact, you’re now supposed to pretend that the aged or the big (Victoria Secret’s models) are as physically attractive as the young and thin.
So many people on this thread miss that point.
It is part and parcel of the desconstruction of this society.
Sports Illustrated (sports in general) are “holdovers” from a society run by “toxic males” so anything to destroy or diminish those things is fair game for the Left.
When an entity tries to manipulate individuals into a groupthink such as defining beauty, defining weight boundaries, redefining sexual boundaries to force individuals to accept what “normal” is in these various facets of society instead of allowing them to think for themselve, then we are in trouble.
The war on competency has been in full swing for many years with governmental (and non-governmental) support.
We are in trouble.
It isn’t a small thing that doesn’t count. It is meaningful. This is just one small battle the Left fights on many fronts. I liken it to both a one-way ratchet in that the ground they gain is rarely recovered, or a single person inspecting a dike that holds out the ocean. That one person has eyes to see leaks, a voice to call for help, and fingers and toes to plug the leaks in the dike. But they are only one person, a real minority.
Conservatives are manning the ramparts, keeping watch into the darkness of the wide ocean, inspecting the dike, looking for breaches or damage, constantly on guard, always trying to be vigilant.
The Left is like the ocean, timeless, relentless, constantly pressuring against the other side of the dike, looking for holes and weaknesses. Probing, pushing, looking to breach the fabric of society in places it won’t be immediately seen, and when it is, will be too late to do anything about it.
