Response to Gretchen's post about Victoria's Secret


This is awesome! I work at Victoria's Secret and often have to explain to people why I like working there because everyone knows what a feminist I am and people often question why I would work at a place that seems to exploit/ over sexualize women. I just tell people that I like helping women and making them feel sexy no matter what. Plus it's a fun job! Being a feminist doesn't mean we don't still want to be sexy, right? Now this is another reason to be happy to work for them! I think it's awesome that a company known for their provocative lingerie is still reminding women (and men) that NO means NO and just because a woman is wearing sexy stuff under her clothes does not mean that she wants to have sex; and just because someone doesn't want to have sex from time to time doesn't make her prude. We all have the right to say no (and yes) whenever we want. No one should ever be pressured, and a popular company reinforcing that is definitely a step in the right direction. Thanks for posting this!
