Reebok, a brand that uses beautiful, in-shape women to advertise its products, is going after Trump for telling France’s First Lady that she is in good shape.
During his trip to France to celebrate Bastille Day, Trump told Brigitte Macron, France’s First Lady, that she is “in such good shape…beautiful.”
In case you were wondering when it IS appropriate to say, “You’re in such good shape…beautiful,”… THIS: pic.twitter.com/Z1cnnRD8Ut

However, Reebok routinely uses attractive, fit women–sometimes in sexualized poses–to sell their athletic apparel and shoes, which Twitter users pointed out.
.@Reebok oh look, another company virtue signalling to nuffies. Meanwhile, this is how they market their products. They look in good shape. pic.twitter.com/eqEW7nmHQV

Thank you, @Reebok, for your virtuous message about when it’s appropriate to complement a woman’s shape. pic.twitter.com/vuj8oe86ZL

Can @Reebok make another chart and tell everyone what we’re supposed to do in a case where a company uses a woman in an ad like this? pic.twitter.com/qzeSLUNB6N

You use a lot of women’s asses to sell sneakers. Might want to ‘tone’ down the virtue-lecturing. pic.twitter.com/peQVwbUoaL

In 2012, Reebok was forced to pull an advertisement that told men to “cheat on your girlfriend” rather than their workout.
[contentcards url=”http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/16/reebok-shames-trump-for-complimenting-frances-first-lady/” target=”_blank”]According to @Reebok, encouraging to cheat on your girlfriend is fine.
Complimenting women is not.
