And YES, Iâm skeptical in my cold, dead, feminist heart, about whether this will lead to any meaningful change from @victoriassecret. But I also think thatâs not the point. This revolution isnât happening at the mall. And we donât need it to â because we donât need the corporations that have always gotten this wrong to fix this for us. We can buy our underwear elsewhere. Iâm not saying thatâs easy or that the fight for size-inclusive clothing shouldnât continue. But asking Victoriaâs Secret to expand their definition of beauty is still letting them set the standard of beauty, is still placing a premium on the importance of beauty, and of underwear and swimsuits needing to be beautiful. And thatâs the part we can reject.

I wrote about the magic of @jaxâs âI Know Victoriaâs Secretâ and how it speaks to my Millennial mom soul. đ
