• Sydney Sweeney's Latest Poke in the Eye to the Left

    From BTR1701@3:633/10 to All on Fri Sep 18 04:17:22 2026
    Sydney Sweeney seems to have mastered the art of monetizing leftist outrage. First she was accused of promoting eugenics with her "good jeans" ad, now
    she's taking a turn at shilling for a sports betting app that has her posing nude with strategically placed sports equipment that barely covers the
    promised land.

    This, of course, has caused the usual suspects to melt down in apoplectic
    fury, accusing Sweeney of setting back women's sports by decades by presenting herself as a sex object. Of course Sweeney is not claiming to be an athlete, she's not even pretending to be one in the ad. She's hawking a betting site, not larping as a soccer player or a surfer.

    The New York Times: Sydney Sweeney's New Advert Ignores Decades of Progress in Female Athletics

    I suppose it's fruitless to point out the feminist hypocrisy in all this
    furor, but even so, it's pretty amazing to watch everyone from CNN panelists
    to the witch's brew on THE VIEW suddenly pretend to be offended by Sweeney's risqu‚ images. These radical feminists have insisted for years that full-blown prostitution is legitimate and empowering work. They've adopted countless graphically sexual female rap and pop songs as anthems for their movement. Now a partially naked woman in an advertisement is "setting women back"?

    No, the real problem with Sweeney is that she's a blonde, blue-eyed white woman. There was no screeching meltdowns from these people when Serena
    Williams posed nude on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Or countless other examples of non-white athletes doing similar photoshoots. Such instances are praised as "brave" and "powerful". Only when an extremely attractive white woman does it do the accusations of feminist betrayal and the consequent destruction of women's sports arise. And, as I noted, she's not even
    portraying herself as an athlete in the first place.

    Of course the real threat to women's sports-- allowing men pretending to be women to compete-- not only passes without objection, the feminist brigade cheers it it on.

    Not even the slightest hint of self-awareness or internal logic here.

    I never understand how one woman's nudity has anything to do with what
    any other woman should or should not wear.

    Are you suggesting she's paying people to criticize her?

    The question is whether women should be regarded as sex objects.

    It's an article of faith in modern feminism that women can be full-on prostitutes and no one should criticize them or suggest that it's not legitimate work. They say having an OnlyFans account is empowering for women.

    After you've made those bold claims, how can you seriously object to Sweeney's ad? Unless being a sex object is just cover for the real objection that they can't say out loud...

    I don't know scads of those claimants, but I bet lots of them consider prostitutes an abomination and Sydney Sweeney the flag-bearer.

    Sex is a mixture of dominance and submission, giving pleasure and
    receiving pleasure, role playing, etc. If you talk about empowerment
    during, then you are sucking all the pleasure out.

    moviePig is an idiot. Should a woman with good jeans, wide hips, and big motherly boobs be regarded as a sex object? Does moviePig not understand
    that if a man doesn't want a woman to bear his children, there is no
    more human race? I don't think we want to reproduce as suggested in
    Brave New World and other novels like it.

    What, men pretending to be women aren't sex objects lacking her boobs?

    Is "having a lot of business sense" typical of women who are not
    American? Does anyone you know lacking ambition achieve anything in
    life? In feeding the troll instead of ignoring it, are all women
    bitches to you like the troll?

    Do you actually hear yourself? You don't have to like her, but agreeing
    with someone calling her a bitch makes you both look impotent, and
    condemning someone for being ambitious makes you look like you thrive on welfare. Guess we don't have a welcome new participant.

    Let me refresh your memory by restoring the quote. You followed up to a
    troll calling her a "bitch", so one might infer you shared those
    sentiments. And you criticized her ambitions. That you did write.

    Let's say you thought she were a decent actress. She still needs
    ambition for a successful career. It's nothing to condemn anyone for.

    I ask again. Do you actually hear yourself?
