Sports Illustrated Used Martha Stewart for Their Swimsuit Inclusion Cred

Martha Stewart is the oldest woman to ever be pictured on the cover of a swimsuit magazine.

Stewart is on the cover of the magazine. Victoria's Secret has realized that marketing women as sex objects is not as profitable as it used to be. They have a solution. Sex objects of different shapes and sizes are included. A model with a visible C-section scar is one of the models used in bathing suit issues.

Men have been trained for decades to crave soft-core content. Their sense of entitlement and ownership is breathtaking, yet predictable, as a culture that treats women's bodies as products and sexual desire as a service. Some guys feel justified in chewing on the merchandise, spitting it out, and leaving a one-star review when they Belly up to the latest swimsuit issue like a tourist.

In May of last year, controversial commentator Dr. Jordan Peterson quit the social networking site after being ridiculed for his SI temper tantrum. I'm sorry. It's not pretty. He said that no amount of tolerance is going to change that. After returning to the platform, he overcame his sense of oppression. The presentation of a different standard of beauty has caused even Christian commenters to rush to express their disgust. The parody features a father punishing his son by giving him the Martha Stewart issue, a joke that is sick on many levels.

Martha's cover photo is sexy and her other images in the magazine are also chic. She is proud of her youthful appearance, which she says is due to clean eating and good skin care habits, not surgery. She posts make-up-free selfies on social media. She is not the first senior citizen to be featured in this way. Maye appeared last year when she was 74 years old.

SI's strategy isn't a win for Martha. It's not because of the high-profile misogyny.

The beauty standard is slowly being set aside by aging. As the years go by, the pressure on young girls to be sexy becomes less and less meaningful, which is a good thing. The Eye-of-Sauron level scrutiny of the female body is provided by the BIC. We can relax into being lovely, confident, and comfortable in our own skin when we don't have to worry about being hot. Getting older is similar to getting free.

The formerly demilitarized beauty zone is not a good place to invade. SI is not above using software to make women look different. Brooklyn Decker, a former SI swimsuit model, broke her own 2010 cover photo down on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Is this what you're going to see? She said that it was like the magic of lighting there. Thank you, SportsIllustrated. She told Colbert that she doesn't miss that part of her career.

SI models who have had their features digitally altered by the magazine include KimKardashian and even plus-size iconAshley Graham, whose photo her body-positive fans loudly panned over obvious signs of editing Graham's ad campaign for her swimsuits for all line was unretouched after the SI scandal. Graham said that she had been on the other side of a camera where they took out all her fat and made her look smaller. When I am on set, I always ask the photographer if he sees the dimple. Don't remove it. When she saw the finished pictures, she realized she had been ignored.

Martha Stewart doesn't think she was treated the same by SI. She told Variety that she was happy that there wasn't a lot of makeup. Martha advised people that they don't have to show their age, a line that reinforces SI's anti-woman ethos. It is not possible to beat objectifiers at their own game by taking part in it. Solidarity is the most beautiful look of all, and we can't wait for the day when every plus-size, regular-size, old, or young woman is told to pack their bags.
