I differ from you on the "simple-brained", as you put it, women who objected. No, they have not taken a stand on trans grifters, but is that not the same deflection thrown at women over every issue they raise? "You worry about sexual assault but you don't care about male suicide, you simple-brained ladies!!" Surely the fact that female athletes are subject to the "give us a twirl" crap - like 'Wow you run so fast, nail a slam-dunk every time AND YOU HAVE ALL THOSE PENIS HOLES!!!", might engender a bit of frustration at a sports ad with a naked chick being gang banged by foot balls and shin pads?
Also, this "monetizing her sexuality" piece has me very bored and irritated. As you point out, I doubt Sweeney is running home to get it on with a closet full of hockey sticks and helmets. Any woman who "chooses to monetize her own sexuality" is simply grabbing a piece of the lucrative porn industry pie. Pimping yourself is still pimping and does no woman any good.
I know it's terribly uncool to criticize the male gaze now that we are inured in the latest narrative that sex difference are huge, deep and fixed and There's Nothing To Be Done About Men Demeaning and Diminishing Women. Yes, testosterone tends to make men see all holes, real and imagined as a potential place to poke their dick, but this bleeds into the lie that male masturbation is impossible without an object to gawp at. Imagine a vehicle that goes beyond earth's atmosphere? No problem! Imagine my way through a fap session? Oppression!!
Anyhow, the fact that these shitty, regressive ads are getting so much ink really gets up my nose. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.
No notes. You said everything I’ve been thinking. The “you’re just jealous” take has me rolling my eyes. Thank you for posting. Made me feel sane again throughout this.
“These women deserve ire because they are dumb and also don’t give two shits about women’s sports, otherwise they would have spoken up against the men competing as “women” in sport and in defense of the female athletes who said “Nah.” YES!! The female athletes who spoke out against this ad campaign while remaining silent on males competing in female sports deserve everyone’s disgust. What posers.
Good commentary.

I'm glad! And thank you!
