Somewhere in between.

Is it just porn? Or some new Gen Z twist on it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyFans

OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service based in London, United Kingdom.[1] The service is used primarily by sex workers who produce pornography,[2] but it also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians.[3]

Content creators can earn money from users who subscribe to their content—the "fans". It allows content creators to receive funding directly from their fans on a monthly basis as well as one-time tips and the pay-per-view (PPV) feature.[4] The website was reported to have 2 million content creators and 130 million users as of August 2021.[5]

The website has been criticised for insufficiently preventing child sexual abuse material from circulating on the platform, though statistical evidence on the severity of the problem is mixed. In August 2021, a campaign to investigate OnlyFans began in the United States Congress, and it was reported that from October 2021 onward OnlyFans would no longer allow sexually explicit material,[6] due to pressure from banks that OnlyFans used for user payments. However, this decision was reversed six days later due to backlash from users and creators alike.[5][7][8]

Since the beginning of time, women have been judged and valued for their beauty. The only thing different now is the way that the Internet amplifies things in a way that people from ages past would find hard to imagine.

Olivia Dunne has worked to get where she is. She works hard at gymnastics. She does well academically. Not a bad role model.

I don't think she is setting women back by capitalizing on her good looks as well as her skills. She is not responsible for a world where women (and men to a lesser extent) are valued for their looks and there isn't anything she can do to change the way the world is.

Gymnastics uniforms do not leave much to the imagination. Similar in swimming, volleyball, track and field. Regardless of money athletes have had to get beyond body imagery as an issue.
Women making more money is a step in the right direction.

Not that she did it while she was in college but pretty soon afterward Jennie Finch was in the SI Swimsuit edition and was modeling. It was college SB that got her noticed to start.

I am afraid that I too succumbed to this bias. My favorite athlete growing up was Larry Bird 😂

Earlier this year, one of my female student-athletes was extremely upset because she had been "dress coded" at school. An administrator (who is also our AD) gave her a detention for wearing spandex shorts. He told her they were too tight and too revealing.

She replied, "Oh, really? Because these are the shorts you make us wear when we play volleyball in front of a whole gym full of people. Is the difference because you charge admission there?"

Her detention became an in-school suspension.

She wasn't wrong.

(And maybe I felt a little guilty because we were in the midst of a unit on protests and finding your voice.)

This girl is going to do great things and if she were mine I would have lit up that whole damn district in her defense! Don’t even get me started about high school dress codes.
