Is the VS Fashion Show Exploiting Women?

During and after the extremely talked about Victoria's Secret Fashion Show I heard and read many comments about how putting on such a show is wrong and sexist. One tweet I read even went as far as to say, "I refuse to watch women parade themselves as pieces of meat... #TakeAStand". I think this kind of thinking is ridiculous. These women are not being forced to show of their bodies to the world. They CHOOSE to. Which I completely understand as they have worked extremely hard for the bodies that they have and obviously want. If they weren't proud of them they wouldn't be "parading" them around. There are always going to be rude and inappropriate people to make gross comments but that should not stop women from loving and showing off their beautiful bodies NO MATTER WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

  1. I agree with you %100! They are getting paid to put on an outfit (or lack thereof) and simply walk on stage. I WOULD LOVE A JOB LIKE THAT, but you know, the male version of it. All those girls are beautiful and I'm sure I speak for the majority of the male population when I say: "I'm glad for Victoria's Secret models."
