Results: Swimsuit company faces backlash for advertising swimsuit for women - on a man

The company, owned by Australian "body positive influencer" Karina Irby, posted on its Instagram account a video of male model Jake Young wearing a very revealing "SUGAR SLINKY" one-piece, the New York Post reported. The brand markets itself as "swimwear designed for every BODY!" Do you think it is wise of a company to have a man model a swimsuit that is designed for women in an effort to sell that swimsuit to women?

Social media users commented on the post and said they were done being customers after seeing the ad. Do you blame customers for abandoning a company that seems to have gone overboard with DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion - the catchphrase push by leftists to improve business models worldwide) and is using MEN to advertise clothing for women?

"Is that a man? I thought you were about empowering women?" one account posted. "Men seem to be trying to take over everything women hold sacred. Our safe spaces, our identity and now our fashion." Do you agree that society has gone too far - and outcasts women - when claiming men can do better than women - even at being a woman?

"I'm sorry you support whatever you like but I don't agree with men in women's swimsuits and trying to market it towards women," the account added. "I've been a loyal customer for ten years but I'm done." Another said, "Sorry but Moana, this is not how you empower women. This is once again giving men the power over us and saying they do it better." While a third wrote, "Real women will soon be irrelevant and real women will have to compete with trans in sports, modeling, careers against trans just because businesses need to tick the box to stay 'relevant' these ladies on here are too blind to see what damage it will be for them and the future. It's already started." If you are a woman, are you offended when men are presumed to be better at all things - even modeling a woman's swimsuit?

A spokesperson for the company hit back at what they called the "absurd" criticism and told the Daily Mail: "Moana Bikini are — and have always been — one of the most inclusive and empowering brands in existence." If companies are so intent on empowering people that they are willing to abandon a majority of its customers for the sake of inclusion, do you think they deserve to live with their so-called superior diversity all by themselves?
