New in PJ Media:
Yes, it has come to this. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) tweeted Wednesday: “I’m old enough to remember when women actually modeled women’s bathing suits, not men.” Alas, we’re way past that now in our enlightened age. If men can become top female admirals and champion female swimmers, why can’t they model the latest in women’s bathing suits? Mace was responding to a new ad campaign from Adidas, featuring a male model wearing their new women’s swimwear line.
Adidas’ website features this fellow, who has visible chest hair and a noticeably male bulge in the crotch area, wearing the swimsuit even though it is clearly marked as “Women’s Sportswear.” Well, yes, it’s women’s sportswear, but it’s also labeled a “Pride Swimsuit.” Adidas customers, however, are not buying this. The Pride Swimsuit, as of this writing, has 353 reviews, with a 1.1 rating out of a possible five.
These reviews are uniformly negative. A sampling:
Thats a man, not a woman
You guys are wrong for putting a man to model women’s swimsuits. #TransWomenAreMen
Never buy Adidas again!
If this is a womens swim suit why is a man wearing it!! I can’t believe that you have also gone down that same rabbit hole as bud light, good luck as you have just 1 more customer and I’m sure I won’t be the last!!
Discrimination Against Women
Why are you trying to erase women, Adidas? This is not inclusivity; it is exclusionary to present someone who is clearly a male when trying to sell women’s swimwear.
I thought Adidas valued women
This is a gross attack on women. This isn’t pride, it’s arrogance to force others to acknowledge your own delusions. This man needs help, not a swimsuit that was meant for me.
Horrible
Dear Adidas, haven’t you heard about the Budweiser case? Are you sure you want the same end?
I’m a woman and I want to model mens bathing suits
I am an actual woman, and I think it’s totally unfair that I can’t model men’s speedos. Just because I have boobs, I am not allowed to go out in public in a Speedo! No fair no fair no fair!!
Adidas’ website describes this popular item as “A Colorful Swimsuit Made In Part with A Blend of Recycled and Renewable Materials.” Hey, that’s great. As we embrace the delusion and madness of the Left’s transgender agenda, we can go the whole nine yards and embrace still more delusion and madness by buying a climate-friendly swimsuit.
There is more. Read the rest here.

What the hell is wrong with these people!!! More democrat math at work LGBTQ represent 1% of the world population but they’re forcing 1% on 99% of the world…Tell them to try that in Islamic or communist countries where they will be killed
sukabumi jojo says
Dear Lew,
To be slightly more precise: it is said that approximately 3% of the population is gay (I would be inclined to say that that includes bisexuals, but am not sure of this).
Please consult this website for the percentage of transgenders: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5227946/
The percentage this site concludes to is: 0,0039, or approximately 4/1000, or quite a bit less than a half percent.
Adjusting the system to such ridiculously small minorities is absurd; some would even go so far as to say that this is subversive bunk.
How about sticking to the incontrovertible majority, folks?
tim gallagher says
I agree, Lew. How do such a small minority come to get so much attention these days? But I think it is because a lot of leftists have climbed on board and backed the trans lobby because they see it as a way to help their project of destroying traditional society. Anything that will help destroy traditional, normal society they will support. To me, Robert Spencer gets it right up above, “The Madness Never Ends”. i keep thinking that the majority of sensible, normal people, and particularly the women who are being treated like crap by this trans mob, will rise up and tell the trans mob and all their backers to crawl back into their hole and leave normal, sane society alone.

I have bought Adidas in the past but will not buy their products ever again

“Tell them to try that in Islamic or communist countries where they will be killed”
————————————————————————————————-
This is being done at the behest of Islamic/communist countries as part of the programme of removing women from the public space. If you can’t define what a woman is – how can they have rights?
Tatanka says
We are reliving the times of Sodom and Gomorrah,…awaiting punishment again.
Rarely says
LOL. I wonder if they have any idea how ridiculous this all looks? Could have gone that one step further and had him/her sipping on a Bud Light (while holding a pinky in the air, of course).
Can’t take this too seriously but I do wonder how Monty Python would have treated this.
sukabumi jojo says
Hey Rarely,
LOL! Well put.
I guess this is the latest class coming out of business school with an MBA in ‘how to go bankrupt as soon as possible’, or ‘how to ruin a world famous brand in a jiffy’, swimming in Bud Light in a swim suit. Could it be these companites are lead by pranksters?
DHZ says
I can’t think of a single trans man who has received a commercial endorsement deal. Are people more put off by the idea of a woman becoming a man than the other way around? Trans men don’t seem to get very much attention at all. Those who have undergone top surgery all seem to have a big scar that eerily resembles a pec line and showing that while promoting a product might be a little too inclusive. I guess we’ll have to wait for trans history month before F to M will get the attention it deserves. Maybe they could have a “trans man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a drag queen” story time.
tgusa says
As we can all see, this stuffs getting really ugly. I now believe that these corporate types are attracted to and aroused by these trannies. Yeah I know but I cant think of any other reason that would make any sense. I would love to get a chance to see what could be found on their computers, cell phones, bathroom walls.
Walter Sieruk says
That affront of politically correct madness shows that society if slipping into more and more decadence each passing year.. This is sick gross disgusting and warped.
tgusa says
If you look up the definition of sexual harassment you will see that is exactly what is being done all over the place. There are rules/laws on the books against this sort of stuff and those should be used everywhere. Ironically, most of those rules/laws were devised by leftists. Isn’t this all so much fun…
Lorensacho Byzantine says
I get that this makes you uncomfortable. If you were secure in your own gender identity it would not bother you.
OLD GUY says
If it’s ok for MEN to ware women bathing suits, then I guess it is ok for WOMEN to ware just a bottom and go topless everywhere just like a man can now. Why can’t a women walk around like a man without a shirt on? If men can pretend to be women, women can pretend to be men. Hey I declare myself a dog, or a cat and I can walk down the street naked and pee on the fire hydrant. LGBTQ – DC. It’s that stupid.
James Lincoln says
Just wondering if any of the executive stockholders at Adidas or Anheuser-Busch had shorted the stocks ADDYY / BUD just before the companies went totally woke.
