   The news comes after a disastrous few years of woke reforms such as hiring   
   transgender models and the cancelation of the "Angels" fashion shows,   
   described by former Victoria’s Secret model Bridget Malcolm as   
   "performative allyship."   
      
   Victoria's Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk has abruptly resigned from her   
   position less than a year into the job, the company announced on Tuesday.   
      
   Hauk, who helmed the company's Pink apparel brand, gave notice of her   
   resignation last week, CNN Business reports.   
      
   The news comes after a disastrous few years of woke reforms such as hiring   
   transgender models and the cancelation of the "Angels" fashion shows,   
   described by former Victoria’s Secret model Bridget Malcolm as   
   "performative allyship."   
      
   Shares of Victoria's Secret dropped by 8 percent following the news of   
   Hauk's resignation.   
      
   The Post Millennial reported in 2021 that the company was taking its brand   
   in a new direction, under pressure from woke activists who accused the   
   company of "not being inclusive of all different body types."   
      
   "When the world was changing, we were too slow to respond," company CEO   
   Martin Waters said at the time. "We needed to stop being about what men   
   want and to be about what women want."   
      
   "I've known that we needed to change this brand for a long time, we just   
   haven't had the control of the company to be able to do it," he added. "In   
   the old days, the Victoria brand had a single lens, which was called   
   'sexy.'"   
      
   Victoria's Secret overhauled its advertising and began to hire a wider   
   range of models. One of those models, US women's soccer star Megan   
   Rapinoe, said that there isn't a one-size-fits-all to sexiness.   
      
   "As a gay woman, I think a lot about what we think is sexy, and we are   
   afforded the ability to do that, because I don’t have to wear the   
   traditional sexy thing to be sexy and I don't think the traditional thing   
   is sexy when it comes to my partner or people I've dated," Rapinoe said.   
   "I think functionality is probably the sexiest thing we could possibly   
   achieve in life. Sometimes just cool is sexy too."   
      
   The company has suffered from uneven sales since the start of the   
   pandemic, dropping dramatically in 2020, then improving a little in 2021.   
   They are predicted to fall again by up to seven percent this year.
