I have to reblog for two reasons:

1)This is actually a good way to get people into reading.

2)That passive aggressive joke in the last one is pure genius.

Victoria Secret

I literally just signed up on the website and bras go higher than DDD and undies go up to 3XL so yeah guys it’s more inclusive than VS, the article is inaccurate

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that for my capstone in my undergrad, our class ran an ad campaign for VS. So, of course, we got to talk to a ton of executives for the company. One of our goals for them was to figure out how to make VS appeal more to the younger generation. The girls in my class (which was about 98% of my class) immediately jumped on the “body inclusivity” train. Why not start hiring plus-size models to be angels? Why not start including bigger sizes?

The executives immediately took it off the table. Their words were “We are interested in selling the fantasy of the supermodel” in layman’s terms that equates to “no fat chicks” and we spent the rest of the meeting with the ladies in my class (myself, included) questioning the executives and essentially jumping down their throats.

Victoria’s Secret is not interested in body inclusivity. They don’t care about appealing to a wider audience, despite their failing sales. They’re seriously a bunch of older, out of touch people who don’t understand that times are changing and they will very soon get left behind. We gave them facts, statistics, and survey results that we collected that PROVED that people aren’t interested in VS anymore and that’s exactly why. But they don’t care about that. They don’t care about improving their own image. They just don’t care about their own consumer base.

I hope somebody besides me reads this. Because I want more people to know what narrow minded scumbags the executives at Victoria’s Secret are.

bloglikeanegyptian:

because i’m really tired of rhetoric regarding egypt on this website, and because i’m tired of repeating the same things over and over, here’s a post of things every person who posts something about egypt should be aware of before opening their big fat mouths:

• egyptians do not ascribe to western racial constructs. repeat this several times. egyptians aren’t white, or black, or white-passing, or brown until they’re forced to identify under these by westerners. like “poc” these terms are meaningless without something to compare it to. when you call people living in their own country “poc,” you sound like an idiot.

• before mouthing off about “ancient/real egyptians” and “modern coloniser egyptians,” this is what egyptians look like:
  

  

  but they also look like this:

  

  and this:

  

  none of these are considered “more egyptian” than the other, and if we don’t do it, frankly you shouldn’t.

  (i had to take some of these off a government propaganda video, i hope you’re happy. also watch it, it’s pretty catchy.)

• here is egypt on a map:
  

  

  (x)
  as you can see, egypt is located in northern africa. this makes egypt an african country. it is also usually included in the politically vague “middle east,” or more accurately the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. egypt is a culturally arab country. this makes it african and arab. egyptians identify as both without issue. it is not a big deal, nor is it up to you to tell us what to identify as.

  egypt has also had the same borders for around 5000 years, give or take, due to the nile being a major factor in where the concentration of populations are. therefore ancient egyptians were also north african, with close interactions with the kushite kingdom in the south, where Sudan is now. got it? ancient egypt, geographically = egypt + sudan. we know exactly where ancient egypt was located. they were nice enough to write everything down.

• egyptians were never enslaved by americans or taken to america. while the egyptian diaspora is large, most egyptian immigrants are recent first or second generation. this means that egyptians have no claim to african american history, and vice versa.
• nubian egyptians still exist. they are a minority in upper (southern) egypt that faces erasure, oppression and discrimination.

• before deciding that ancient and modern egyptians are two separate species, please remember that egyptians still use the same farming tools, agricultural calendar, and even words as ancient egyptians. we even celebrate the the longest running holiday in history.

• before blaming “arabs” for “changing egypt’s ethnicity”* please remember that by the time Muslim conquests arrived in Egypt, Egypt had already been occupied by the Greeks and Roman Byzantines for several hundred years, not to mention intermixing with Hyksos, Assyrians and Kushites since the Late Intermediate period. Egypt has always been diverse. despite that, even wikipedia will tell you that vast majority of egypt’s population is ethnically egyptian. and here’s another source. and another. shut up about this already.

  the Egyptians have been in place since back in the Pleistocene and have been largely unaffected by either invasions or migrations. As others have noted, Egyptians are Egyptians, and they were so in the past as well. (x)

• the purpose of this is not to deny that under US-centric classifications, most ancient egyptians would be considered black*, because they most certainly would and white-washing of ancient egypt is prevalent and harmful*, but to assert that modern egyptians are not a separate ethnicity from their ancestors and that separating “modern” and “ancient” egyptians is equally harmful, and denies egyptians a connection to their own heritage.
  here are some posts i’ve made to clarify how race works in egypt*

• Arab is a cultural term, not an ethnic one. Identification as Arab is based on linguistic, political and cultural influences*, not ethnic ones. Egypt identifies as Arab today due to the arab nationalist movement in the 1950s, which was a response to British colonialism.*

• you cannot appropriate ancient egyptian “culture”. stop telling white people they can’t wear cleopatra outfits. this is what our tourism industry is based on.*

• appropriating our heritage, stealing our artefacts*, and claiming our history as your own does not fall under “cultural appropriation”* and it is really harmful and annoying.

• for reference, this is what egyptian traditional dress looks like:
  

  

  

  

  (not super accurate because it differs in different parts of egypt, but you get the idea. surprise, it’s not cleopatra outfits after all!)

• here is a list of the absolute stupidest (and most popular) posts regarding egypt i’ve seen on my dash that you should absolutely 100% not reblog ever:
  

  

  

  and my personal favorite:

  

  (please do not reblog any of these they have caused more pain and grief to egyptians on this website than exodus ever will.)

• so to sum up: don’t tell egyptians what to identify as, don’t tell egyptians what they’re supposed to look like, don’t force egyptians into stupid western racial classifications and don’t talk about egypt unless you have basic knowledge of egypt.

* links with (*) on them lead to posts on my own blog that clarify each point or explain it further, not outside sources. i only have basic knowledge of most issues from an egyptian point of view, but that’s still more than 99% of the people on this website so you might as well listen to me instead of giving the fucking indo-aryan post 75k notes.

If you have ever reblogged anything about Egypt you better read this so help me
