I Am Glad About the Controversy Surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s Breasts
Columnist Kelli van der Waals argues that the Novig advertising campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney is inherently political, framing her sexualized image as a symbol of right-wing culture wars. The article notes that Sweeney, registered as a Republican in Florida, has embraced this role through her lingerie brand SYRN and associations with conservative figures like Donald Trump. While female athletes criticized the ad for objectifying women, Van der Waals welcomes the backlash as proof that society has not regressed to the extent radical-right groups hope. She views the controversy as a necessary critique of reducing women to objects for the heterosexual male gaze, despite acknowledging the campaign's commercial success.
