    Wasn't that the chant when the Barbie movie was released?

    How did that work out?

    Victoria's Secret's progressive experiment did not work.

    Over the past several years, Victoria's Secret changed
    its marketing plan to be more inclusive — hiring LGBT
    activist Megan Rapinoe and transgender model Valentina
    Sampaio, among others — and diversified its models,
    especially in the plus-sized department. In 2019, the
    company scrapped its annual runway show over complaints
    of sexism and a lack of diversity. Two years later,
    Victoria's Secret's angels were no more.

    Rapinoe infamously described Victoria's Secret's image
    as "patriarchal" and "sexist," which she claimed was
    marketed "through a male lens and through what men desired."

    The attempt to redefine "sexy" in the image of woke social
    justice may have earned "favorable reviews from online
    critics," according to Business of Fashion, but it "never
    translated into sales."

    . . .

    Go Woke = Go BROKE.

    The story repeats over and over.

    "Corporate America" is SUPPOSED to be smart, we
    trust LOTS of investment money to it. Might be
    that trust is, um, misplaced ?

    Almost all women are attracted to men - and will
    buy sexy stuff designed to appeal to men. What the
    "Patriarchy" wants - hell YES ! Sounds like VS
    went way towards sexy stuff to appeal to women who
    like women - and really really FAT women who appeal
    to nobody except maybe Bon Scotts ghost. HUGE mistake.

    Enjoying their failure.

    Hey Mitchie, we're talking about the failure of Victoria's Secret. Why
    can't you address that?
