Famous lingerie, clothing and beauty retailer Victoria's Secret is going through one of the largest, if not the largest, rebrandings the company has seen in recent history.

As The New York Times reported:


"They will be spearheading what may be the most extreme and unabashed attempt at a brand turnaround in recent memory: an effort to redefine the version of "sexy" that Victoria's Secret represents (and sells) to the masses."

As apart of the campaign, Victoria's Secret has hired seven new women who are not as known for their looks as they are for their achievements.

Activist and Soccer Professional Megan Rapinoe is one of the talented women who's been brought on to spearhead the new campaign.


Unsurprisingly, straight men felt the need to chime in on the change in marketing for clothing and accessories they generally don't wear or even buy.


Twitter had plenty of comebacks for the straight men who are getting their tighty-whities in a knot over lingerie.

Megan Rapinoe addressed her new role with Victoria's Secret.

"As a gay woman, I think a lot about what we think is sexy, and we are afforded the ability to do that, because I don't have to wear the traditional sexy thing to be sexy and I don't think the traditional thing is sexy when it comes to my partner or people I've dated."
"I think functionality is probably the sexiest thing we could possibly achieve in life. Sometimes just cool is sexy, too."

Rapinoe also said she was shocked and questioned why the company wanted her in particular.

She hopes the Victoria's Secret executives acknowledge their past mistakes and their history. Rapinoe's role as an ambassador won't end with photoshoots.

She's also been asked to consult on language, products and their brand narrative.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
