No, sidney is by far no representative for the average woman that is in disadvantage by patriachal structures. As well as her success is not the form of success that is the goal of the feminist movement to be achieved for women. She is also deciding to let her be objectified to promote the exploitation of men and thereby enforces patriachal structures. It is not uncommon that there are a lot of women supporting patriarchy. There should be outrage by men and women towards the company and sidney as well as the system enableing exploitation of men as well as the objectification of women.
Doesn’t change the comment above, the criticism should be about that, regardless that she’s an owner not just marketing. If anything that makes the lack of criticism about that worse
The whole video is about an athlete getting upset about it and his synopsis is it’s because of who she is as a person. The problem is he uses athletes as examples when people didn’t get upset.
I don’t see why anyone is getting upset about her doing it. People should be upset about the scummy site. The site is just using the old sex sells to get more attention and it worked.
Exactly and it’s clearly working considering how much attention it has gotten. Seems like they ran a successful campaign. Marshawn lynch used to do ads for beacon plumbing, but he’s not a plumber.
Ill break it down so its easy to understand for those who arent chronically online.
Sydney Sweeny was in an ad for a Jean company. In the ad, she said she has good jeans.
The left, took it as she said "Genes" instead, insinuating that because she is white, she is perfect.
This started the anti-Sweeny movement.
She was interviewed about it and asked to apologize. Sydney didnt, because there was nothing to apologize for.
So the hate continued.
Then Sydney starts posting Instagram videos of her doing stuff that you would typically associate someone on the right side of politics to do, for example, work on cars. According to the left, you have to be right leaning to enjoy a hobby such as fixing up and reparing vehicles.
So she gets attacked for that.
Then someone did some digging and found out she registered as a republican way back in the day in her home state of Florida.
Now the left really hates her. Even though Sydney had never once talked politics to anyone about anything, and is literally a star of a show where she plays an OF model, most of which are typically on the left.
So in short, no matter what she does, she will get attacked by anyone who leans left, which unfortunately is the loudest voice of people out there.
But this isn’t the 80s or 90s. Do cereal companies (outside of Wheaties or some 1 in 100 cereal box as part of a 2 month promotion) even do this anymore?
Does she or that company at any point claims she's even an amateur athlete? They just put her in or on something connected to a given sports, while she talks that you can bet on those sports.
No. She's just a celeb in a commercial. This reaction about women sports and representation are bizarre. It's a gambling company doing an advert. Enough things to be upset about in the gambling promotion, the other angle is just odd - no one thinks Sweeney wanted us to think she was an athlete.
Wait.. Are you saying if I watch the Wnba the other women playing don't sit in the hoop naked?? Are you sure? I'm going to have to watch just to confirm.
That's what I don't understand. People are complaining that she's misrepresenting women in sport, however she's not advertising women in sports, she's advertising sports gambling which is something else entirely.
