Feminist Dominance: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launches Gender Equity Advertising Mandate

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition is ringing in its 58th anniversary with a new advertising initiative aimed at gender equity.

• “Pay With Change will be our new standard of business moving forward,” adds Hillary Drezner, general manager of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “It’s our proof of progress, proof of passion and proof of our belief that we must be the change we want to see.”

Proof of progress? This appears to be the intersection of Critical Race Theory meets controlling the means of production- also known as Communism.

Proving that the Feminist movement was always about controlling men using sex, Sports Illustrated comes out of the closet and shows off their control of the Swimsuit edition once an American media institution.

CONSIDER THIS: The definition of Communism is: “Communism is a philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money, and the state.”

Consider if “Equity” demands lead to Communism.  Do you see it being a gateway? What is the Feminist movement in America really about?

The “Pay With Change” mandate will only allow brands that are helping to drive gender equality forward to advertise in the magazine’s annual print issue as well as across its digital platforms.

MJ Day, editor-in-chief of the SI Swimsuit edition, told Yahoo Finance Live that the advertising mandate, which goes into effect with the magazine’s May 2022 edition, will set a new standard for publishers.

“We do believe that this will be a revolutionary kind of industry change and shift,” she said.

Brands that can illustrate they are creating change for women will be certified as a Changemaker, which Day defined as a brand that has made is making and will make progress for women.

“What we want to see is proof of that progress,” she said. “Any progress is good progress when you’re speaking around women empowerment.”

Sports Illustrated complete statement is on their site.

Day, who has been editor-in-chief of the annual issue since 2014, acknowledged that the SI Swimsuit brand has long been criticized for objectifying women and said people who call its gender equity mandate hypocritical “haven’t been paying attention.”

“I would tell them that since the inception of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, we’ve been doing more than almost any other brand out there in terms of elevating women’s platforms and giving them opportunities to be more than just, you know, a, dot dot dot, swimsuit model.”

In recent years, the magazine has featured an array of models from different ethnic backgrounds and with a range of body types. In a landmark moment, last July model Leyna Bloom made history as the first transgender woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue.

SO IF YOU WANT ANY- YOU BETTER GO ALONG WITH THEIR POLITICS
