The Coup de grâce would be for Bud Light to hire Sydney and put her on the cans. Sales will go through the roof!

Steve Martin's old "What I Believe" standup routine had a bit about how terms like "boobs, jugs, winnebagos, or golden bozos" were offensive, and that the polite term is "hooters."

As the old NBC Saturday morning promo would say, "And That's One to Grow On...."

Yes! Exactly! Go Woke, Go Broke!

We don't want to see a gay guy in a dress selling Bud Light. We don't want to see a 500 lb woman described as sexy. Lizzo is gross!

Oh, these Lefties protest TOO much. The ones protesting the loudest, are the ones that are the most jealous! The left-behind, miserable, obese, far-Left cat ladies, are throwing a fit.

It's great to see a good looking woman, modeling a pair of jeans.

It's even greater that she is not gay, she's not trans, she's not obese, she doesn't have a nose ring or piercings all over, doesn't have blue and green hair with a Hamas scarf on...

Just a normal, good looking American white girl. Gasp! The HORROR!

She's HOT, and Leftists can't stand it. Communists hate anything of beauty. They want to bring everybody else down to the same low-level of mediocrity and depression.

But people are fighting the Insanity... Take your quotas, and your woke fatties, and shove it, Dems! America is BACK!

“One million abortions a year can also be seen as a form of Eugenics, since all that really means is controlling births. This idea that white people should stop having babies or that we need to bring in more people of color to make our country less white is itself a form of Eugenics.”

It's also an ass-backwards analysis since the overwhelming majority of the aborted babies are negro.

I think I finally understand the outrage of the woke. Not because they make any sense, but because it’s just dawned on me what’s going on with those whiny brats: they now know that the jig is up, and NOBODY thinks that the ugliness they have been peddling for the past few years was actually beautiful. The models that have graced the walls of stores like Target have been hard for me to look at. The septum rings, the odd body shapes, the “trans” and queer looking boys, girls, and “theys”: THAT WAS NOT ATTRACTIVE. But Sydney Sweeney is a looker. Unashamed. And that’s how it should be. Shackles off of America.The Emperor’s wearing clothes again.

As a non-American, the obsession with race in U.S. discourse feels overwhelming and, frankly, exhausting. It dominates every conversation to the point where everything else gets lost. At some point, you have to ask whether this constant framing is helping anything or just deepening the divide.

Everything is racist, then eventually nothing is. The overused & mostly untrue accusation has mostly lost its power to control. Nobody is kneeling , & few are apologizing. We in the US were doing fine culturally until the first black (& white) president was elected - twice. Unfortunately he hated America & wanted to make us pay for being such a racist country that would actually elect a black guy to be president- twice..

In the restaurant business, we always say that if everyone is a VIP, nobody is. That's the biggest risk they're taking. They're risking obliterating whatever moral currency they might have had because everyone is exhausted of it already. Poll after poll clearly shows that people are absolutely exhausted of three topics: race, gender, and climate. Nobody cares anymore.

I used to visit the U.S. from Canada when I was young, well before Obama. The fixation on race was a focus even then.

Not that people WERE racist -- that's not what I mean -- but that somehow they were expected to be. It was supposedly the big bugaboo to be guarded against. It was the deep hole everyone was going to fall into if they did not take continual precautions.

It is similar to stoking hypochondria. Eventually, you will make yourself sick. But it does not come naturally.

A tale of two Substacks...

Hannah Cox, who is too based to write crap like she did, basically said that AE is pitching to men, who don't buy these jeans, so what the heck is AE trying to accomplish? She reiterated that women do not dress for the male gaze, which is true.

Rob Henderson hit the nail on the head. Women indeed do not dress for the male gaze. They dress for each other or, rather, to out-do each other. They also make rather juvenile* cuts at one another to knock their competitors down. Basically, all of the "Nazi" and other non-P.C. critical comments are to drive down the stock of people who would look good in those jeans (and thus buy them) and drive up their own stock for being "caring" and "good people". It's not about moral judgment per se; rather, it's about intrasexual competition--using an "arbitrary" standard to boot.

And before someone says that a person can be attractive on multiple dimensions, this doesn't diminish that. But attempting to cut someone down on any dimension is nasty*; dare I say, toxic*.

*Hate the game, not the player.

The 'male gaze' is the counterpart to the 'female vanity' you wrote about in the past, they go hand in hand.

And for those who would try to weaponize the term, I refer to it as "God's gaze" because it's not men that they have an argument with... it's the reason we all are here.

Yes. What's wrong with just admitting the obvious?

But mainstream media says that people are 'discrimatory' if they favor one type over another...

It's funny how the definition of discrimination has totally changed. In the past, it was lauded to be extremely discriminating in your taste and choices. It meant that you had good taste. And I'm not talking about against a particular person, just the choices that you have made in your lifestyle.

And the woke people don't realize that probably the ultimate act of discrimination, if you want to call it that, the person that you decide to marry. Because you have ruled out everyone else that was eligible.

Marriage seems to be a combination of both parties ruling out everyone else.....and often the fact that for most people the pool of possible candidates is somewhat limited by who you know or are exposed to.

But yes, this is the obvious -- that the sexes are attracted to one another, and that God and evolution designed things that way. This leads to the continuance of humanity.

And to take that a step further, all of the things you hear right now in the WNBA, that anybody that follows Caitlin Clark is racist because...well just because she's white. And whites are all racist. 🙄

When you call everybody a racist, the word loses its meaning.

But, what kind of other role models are in the WNBA. Maybe people think it's great a white girl from Iowa is probably their best player, and also, she's not a lesbian, she's not disrespectful to everyone else, and she doesn't play basketball like she's a thug on a playground in Harlem.

Maybe.

It's obvious that there is a lot of jealousy in the WNBA against her, because it seems like half of the league is out to injure her with fouls. And the officials don't call it. It seems like the WNBA is on their way to killing off the Golden goose that has brought them better ratings and income. Just my thoughts.
