Two Words: Victoria's Secret. I don't personally buy my undergarments from this store and this is why.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where skinny models in skimpy swimsuits or underclothes are considered beautiful, sexy and feminine. But how is showcasing half-naked women in giant ads and billboards and posters in a mall or on TV making other women, and even men, feel?

Some men think that seeing Victoria's Secret ads are a wonderful gift from God, and my refute is that first of all, God wouldn't make a gift such as free sex appeal so readily available for anyone — a woman's body is supposed to be her best kept secret. Secondly, the Victoria's Secret franchise models are not presented in a way that other women are built; their models go through intense dieting and exercise to prepare to look their "skinniest" for national television. What type of message is that sending to women, who are naturally hardwired to compare themselves to other women? As of spring 2015, over 20 million people watched the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Why? Because in my humble opinion it constitutes borderline porn.

The Victoria's Secret models are called "angels." The definition of angel according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is, "a spiritual being that serves especially as a messenger from God or as a guardian of human beings."

So the models prancing around in virtually no clothes and wings are the guardians of human beings and sent by God ... I don't think so.

How could one take something so pure and sacred as an angel and corrupt it with something that puts others in a light of lust?

Men who see the fashion show are more than likely watching it to see the young women dressed so scantily, and when men see women dressed like this, their view of a woman changes from person to object.

Is that what we want? To teach young girls to desire to be viewed as objects by men? Unfortunately, that's naturally how their minds work and there is no changing it, unless of course men try to change their way of thinking themselves.

I know some young men who avert their eyes every time they see an ad or a Victoria's Secret store, because they're looking out for their own mind and for a significant other's mind as well. Knowing that there are a select few men who recognize that they don't want their mind tainted by the hyper-sexual culture we live in today means that there is still hope in the world.

As for women, I know girls, like me, who don't shop at Victoria's Secret. Yes I know their undergarments are super comfortable, but I am not comfortable contributing money to an organization that has a hand in a minor porn profession.
