Conservative Women's Swimsuit Calendar Angers Christians: 'Demonic'

Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer released its "Real Women of America 2024 Calendar" earlier this month in "celebration of conservative women who are fighting woke [extremists] to preserve real women." It features several well-known conservatives, such as swimmer Riley Gaines, radio host Dana Loesch, former House candidate Kim Klacik and author Ashley St. Clair, among others.

But the beer calendar has been heavily criticized by conservatives, some of whom have called the calendar "demonic" for sexualizing women (including some who are married) and lacking images of women with children, as well as for being marketed to conservative dads.

"A conservative beer calendar sexualizing women in our movement and marketing it towards married conservative men is DEMONIC," Christian activist Morgan Ariel said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Ariel continued: "Question for women: When are you going to desire to be loved, cherished and valued by a man as opposed to being sexualized and objectified by them? Your integrity should be worth more to you than a check received for a photoshoot that devalues you."

Conservative Christian rapper Bryson Gray, who also called the calendar "demonic," called the images "pseudo-soft porn" and accused Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer of using Christian imagery to get men to lust after the featured women.

"I just don't see the value in marketing what's basically, in some photos, soft porn to married (or unmarried) men," conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey wrote on X. "Of course these women are gorgeous, and of course I'm all for celebrating true femininity in an age that can't define 'woman.' In my view, this doesn't accomplish that at all."

Others took issue with the fact that the calendar didn't include images of mothers or showed women with their children, which they said would be more reflective of what conservative women look like.

"Real conservative women would be too busy taking care of their homes & families to pose for a calendar," one Christian user wrote on X.
