The SI Swimsuit Fashion Show Is Still Not Diverse or Inclusive Enough

PUT THE FORKS DOWN

Ah, yes. I have no issue with this being called out and lambasted. This is not what should have been intended.

Want this to be representative of more real women? It’s simple….you get more women of all sizes, but who are at their best for their size. That’s the problem. They put waifs up forever and many women at their healthiest and in shape as still not waifs.

Some of these “positive body types” (like the one OP showed) are not women of all types showing the beauty of healthy.

This is fucking participation trophy shit. Luckily, my girls are all old enough to see the messaging here is nearly as dangerous as putting up just bulimic waifs.

I'm literally shaking at how offensive this is. When I heard SI was going to be more inclusive I thought they meant it. But they didn't. They may have expanded the show to include the elderly and obese but that's not enough. These women still don't represent REAL women. Because if we're going to be honest, every woman up there still had a fairly attractive face. Where are all the ugly women at?

Additionally I couldn't help but notice the women's body sizes only ranged from healthy to obese. I didn't see one MORBIDLY obese woman.

This is bigotry. Plain and simple. Until at least 50% of the SI swimsuit models are in rascal scooters or look like Janet Reno the patriarchy still wins.

Preach!!

Where are the real women at? By real women... I mean men.

#Diversity

But no, the SI swimsuit issue isn’t a thing anymore. Neither is SI… or magazines really. The days of ultra-softcore, magazine porn, are long over. The standards of beauty haven’t really changed though; this is mostly PC-driven marketing.
