The photos were on a site which covers sports, but the feature had more to do with the body of a scantily clad woman<\/a>\u00a0than anything else, even though the woman used to play college volleyball. I\u2019ve seen things of this nature a thousand times and they always repel me. I spent a few minutes tonight thinking about the reason why I have this reaction. I have nothing against former\u00a0Marshall University volleyball Kayla Simmons, but this depiction of her reminds me of so much of what I hate in modern culture. Simmons might be a brilliant and talented woman. I have no idea. But I do know that she is choosing to promote herself as a sex symbol of sorts for social media fame \u2014 and I know that what I want is absolutely nothing like this. The kind of woman I want would run from this sort of depiction of herself even if she had the world\u2019s most perfect body, because she wouldn\u2019t be eager to share her body with the world and she wouldn\u2019t want to be stereotyped as a sexually attractive bimbo. The woman I want is brilliant, competent, compassionate, driven and has character. Simmons might have all those things. I honestly don\u2019t know. But promoting yourself this way suggests you are the fantasy that most men want \u2014 which is exactly the opposite of what I want and need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
