If you gave a BIPOC role to a pasty heterosexual actor or actress, the Left would lose its collectivist mind. They’d storm the gates, pitchforks, and torches in hand, with the full-throated support of the Democrat party. The ‘used to be’ party of women, or so they claimed.
Women aren’t even on the Left’s victim class totem pole these days. Abortion rights are, but that’s not the same thing anymore, and neither is this. It is a women’s swimsuit ad with a man bulge. Yes, the Adidas Pride women’s swimwear model and his junk. Is this a job women just won’t do? Let’s see … If I search “swimsuit model” on the internet machine there are billions of hits and plenty of women who appear more than qualified not just for the job but to be photographed doing it.
It’s a job women are still willing to do, so is Adidas denying women a job, and why is that not an outrage?

It’s a travesty of social injustice! And yet, no marching army of pussycat-wearing women has arisen to protest.
Are we all too distracted by Sports Illustrated’s decision to put a transgender woman on the cover of its annual swimsuit edition to care about Adidas choosing a man to model theirs? Two leaps whose backlash has not yet reached the size or scope of Bud Light’s misstep.
Is it a misstep by Adidas?
Collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines (who has some experience with women’s bathing suits) thinks so.
“Women’s swimsuits aren’t accessorized with a bulge.”
I dont understand why companies are voluntarily doing this to themselves. They could have at least said the suit is “unisex”, but they didn’t because its about erasing women. Ever wondered why we hardly see this go the other way?

Lia Thomas might disagree, but I have a more critical question. Where’s the Bud Light? The official beer of men pretending to be women. Shouldn’t the can be somewhere on the SI cover or in the hand of the Adidas model? Where’s your solidarity? BUD is struggling. Lend them a manicured hand. Call it the Sisterhood of the traveling man bulge. A story about jobs women will do that the marketing companies of large corporations keep giving to men, minus the outrage.
Sure, the Human Right Council will send you a few heart emojis, but Adidas is a sportswear company. They sell shoes and clothes to athletes and to people who want to pretend that wearing them makes them athletes. Adidas has decided to risk displacing potential customers in pursuit of a sliver of the few percent who might be men pretending to be women or the virtue signalers content to swim in their own victim-class hypocrisy.
I’m not sure how that’s going to work out, but if it doesn’t, and you need a few drinks, they are practically giving But Light away.
