Article is misleading, all HK said is they want to sell guns and not use attractive models to do that. Makes sense.
Miller Brewing.......women were the first to brew beer...seriously??!!
I'd like to see the evidence....
Oh, there isn't any...didn't think so.
Take your "Good Shit" and...

I used to be in plumbing and heating. A lot of the brochures and catalogs and calendars featured women and often scantily clad (Women in bikinis leaning on 80% boilers is definitely incongruous). I did not appreciate that type of advertising and I found it embarrassing. Simply removing the bikini clad women from the add was fine. Problem solved. No need to then tear down men to promote feminism to sell boilers. And my anecdotal evidence shows that I never saw a woman help remove and old boiler, help carry an old or new boiler or help install a new boiler, so there is no reason to have an ad showing their long history of boiler installation.
Beer is linked with the concept of a good time and the audience is traditionally in my lifetime more men than women. The advertiser is often specifically promoting a good time that involves social and sexual themes. That is certainly much more appropriate for beer than boilers.
Bottom line is that sex does sell for some products and if you choose to advertise that way, fine. If you choose not to advertise that way fine as well. If you choose to advertise in a way that offends your target audience, you loose sales. If you advertise in a way that offends an audience that is not your target, so what? If you hold the line on your product and it's promotion that is true to it's history, historical values and target audience and don't cave, you should be able to weather the outrage from your those you are not targeting for sales. Let them pound sand.
Personally, I no longer buy from Inbev/Anhauser Buch even though I like Corona, Modello and Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Their sorry, not sorry apology does not cut it for me when it comes to promoting & celebrating Transgender ideology. I also tune out and won't buy or watch shows from advertisers/producers that tear down men and portray them as stupid or promote women as superior. I like to watch and follow many talented women in the shooting sports arena, on you tube, in media, in film and TV. I promote empowering women in construction roles (the physical hammer swinging, electrical wiring, pipe work, tiling, roofing, etc.) through Habitat for Humanity that they can then use to help themselves, their families, their friends and neighbors and those in need. Promoting women is fine, but doesn't have to be and shouldn't done a the expense of or by tearing down men.

Any corporation that decide to go woke then be prepared to go broke wether you intended to loose $$$ from stock holder's or loyal customers 
This is just my opinion. If the company didn't want to advertise with women in bikinis then don't. The problem is another company thinks that their rep for their product can turn around and push a narrative.
H&K should have said nothing, dropped the bikinis and sold guns. Instead some Karen had to get involved.
Oh BTW said Karen has photos of her in a bikini in some sort of contest.
I hope they go belly up.

I’m all for chicks in bikinis with guns… as long as that chick looks good in that bikini. Sexy women have been used in advertising for how long? No one is forcing the women to do it like sex slaves so? What will dumb hot women do if they can sell beer and guns? Welfare? I’d rather have hotties sell guns than that.
I believe monks in Europe were the first to brew beer.......almost positive.
I dont care enough to look it up.

If I remember correctly a concerned abbot even sent a sample (perhaps the world's first keg) to the Pope to see if it was sinful for the monks to drink. The Pope (a wine drinker like all good Italians) thought it was horrible and wrote back to the abbot stating that anyone who drank beer was clearly doing so in penance, so he gave his blessing for the brewing/imbibing to continue.

Annnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddddd....................the tweet is gone......
Was it all a big mistake...was it a parody?
Who the fuck knows, and who the fuck cares?
And if they don't want to "objectify" women, why does their "spokes-twat" have on a skin tight sweater that screams "HERE ARE MY TITS!!!" throughout the whole advert?
Molson/Coors owns a shitload of brands, just like Inbev/AB - Our Brands - Brands
Peruse the brands and then...drink strategically
Blue Moon makes me sad, it's a reasonably good Belgian white - fuck it - might not be able to stop their ludicrous shit, but they won't get my $$$$$ ever again.
I'll drink my own piss first, with ground glass - shaken, not stirred.
As usual AofSHQ gets deep into Molson/Coors shit...
Molson Coors Decides It Doesn't Want to Sell Beer to Men, Either; Scolds Men For Calling Its New(ish) Woke Ad Woke
And if this pic from a quoted, but unlinked tweet is real, they're more stupid than I thought...
This sentence is priceless, IMHO....
"The ad also says "sh1t" a lot, because leftwing women curse like teamsters. They do all the things that they think men do -- just awkwardly and poorly."
And women really aren't that good at "man shit", are they?
Actually they're fucking pathetic at it - just like I'd be pathetic trying to have a period or be a "birthing person".
To get btutally frank - the "Woke Woman" shit has to stop soon, because most people, including many women have had their fill of this Maoist bullshit.
And that's what it is Maoist propaganda.

I could believe women did the first brewing.
Brewing is similar to cooking.
If the guys were out hunting down the food (or farming the fields), then the women would have largely been the ones preparing it.
It makes sense that the people cooking dinner would be the ones to invent beer, not the ones hunting the ingredients down.
It's these stupid little self important liberal females hired on for ESG purposes.
Insignificant princess bitches think they have to insert their inane politics into everything.

Watched his performance at Folsom Prison in 1968.............
On the tee-vee, fortunately...although there were times......
You don't hunt beer ingredients you gather them, which is what women did. Also monks invented beer.

beer is thought to have been invented by the Sumerians, who lived in what is now Iraq, around 8,000 BC and ancient tablets have been unearthed showing the original brewers were women. The Sumerians even had a goddess of beer, Ninkasi.

Who Invented Beer? | HISTORY
The first fermented beverages most likely emerged alongside the development of cereal agriculture some 12,000 years ago.

The H&K social media person on Twitter was basically paid to use the corporate Twitter account like her own personal SJW feed. I guess she finally stepped over a line. It would be nice to see more professionalism in social media brand marketing. These late millennial/gen Z folks have no boundaries; it's not entirely their fault, it's how their boomer/Gen X parents raised them.
That said the whole H&K ESG thing is deliberate and troubling. I would avoid them.

I'm going out on a limb here....
By proposing that no one "invented" beer. It's more likely that someone left some liquid, grain-based food laying around, and the right yeast started growing.
That yeast changed the taste and smell and produced alcohol during the process.
Someone thought it smelled good and took a sip...then more sips.
Others joined in and became the first humans to get "shit faced".
So the men told the women -
"Make some more of this and we'll all get loaded and party hardy."
"We're going hunting now...better be a lot more of this stuff here when we get back."
The women figured that with hunting and getting blitzed, the men wouldn't bother them so much, so they made metric shit-tons of beer.
And it was good.

Well, you farm them.
I'm not sure you can gather enough wild ingredients to brew a beer.
It is possible it was discovered as a byproduct of some cooking process.
The point is beer is made in a kitchen, not a field. If it really was monks, it was invented by the ones cooking in the kitchen.
