At this rate, I might contractually be obligated to start working for the

Victoria's Secret is swapping its "Angels" for lesbian soccer player Megan
Rapinoe, a transgender model, and more

How it's going:

You love to see it.

Victoria's Secret & Co said on Tuesday it had cut about 160 management
roles, or 5% of its home office staff, and hired a former Amazon executive
as part of a reorganization following its separation from L Brands Inc
last year.

The company also named executives to three key leadership roles reporting
to Chief Executive Officer Martin Waters.

Amy Hauk, who has been heading the company's PINK brand since 2018, will
take on the additional role of chief executive of the Victoria's Secret
division, the company said.

The lingerie brand's Beauty business will be integrated into Hauk's
organization, the company said in an emailed statement.

Look, I really don't care if a lingerie company that uses sex and nudity
to sell its wares goes completely out of business. It'd be nice to go to
the mall and not have to look at the floor to avoid the 20-foot mostly-
nude supermodel photos plastered everywhere by the entrance.

But it's just so dang fun to watch woke companies shoot themselves in the
foot.

More from Chris Rufo on the company's woke direction:

[T]he financial numbers for Victoria's Secret suggest that
intersectionality might not provide a successful foundation for underwear
sales. The company's stock has declined 32 percent since its peak
immediately after the reorganization last year. The company recently
forecasted declining sales numbers and, in a survey conducted by Bank of
America, 23 percent of women said that they liked Victoria's Secret less
than they did pre-Covid, compared with 13 percent who said they liked it
more. Executives have even tried to blame poor financial performance on
the war in Ukraine, which doesn't suggest confidence.

By itself, Victoria's Secret is insignificant. It hardly matters whether
the undergarment manufacturer fails or succeeds. But as a symbol, the
company provides insight into the political culture of America's
multinational corporations, which exert an enormous influence over public
life.

That last part is super important. Go reread it.

I'll leave you with my next prophetic insight into which company is next:

Also, some of us work hard to stay fit and look like we care. I wouldn't
find an outfit very appealing on an unfit looking woman or whatever gender
fluid, latest monstrosity of a look they're trying to normalize these
days.

This was in Sephora.
