<p id=”par-4_37″>“It’s weird in the best way, and I love that we created something that’s not just unforgettable, it actually smells incredible and delivers like every other Dr. Squatch product I love,” Sweeney said in a press release.</p>

<p id=”par-6_20″>While a number of people have expressed their intent to buy the soap, others have criticized Sweeney for selling it.</p>

<p id=”par-7_41″>“In this era of constant sexualisation that women go through, sydney sweeney (also a victim of the mentioned problem) setting back women by doing something like this is just wrong on so many levels,” wrote one person on X (formerly Twitter).</p>

<p id=”par-8_21″>Many people echoed the sentiment that Sweeney was somehow setting back feminism by selling this product to a predominantly male audience.</p>

<p id=”par-9_17″>“Sydney sweeney. BABE,” one person wrote. “You just singlehandedly set feminism back 100 years WDYM BATH WATER.”</p>

<p id=”par-10_34″>Some have expressed surprise that Sweeney would sell this sexual a product after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/sydney-sweeney-ironic-media-sexualizes-her.html/”>speaking about feeling sexualized</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/sydney-sweeney-tried-make-herself-feel-better-after-wondering-if-shed-done-too-much-nudity.html/”>dehumanized by strangers</a>. Others have pointed to the fact that the product doesn’t sound particularly sanitary.</p>

<p id=”par-11_25″>Sweeney once spoke critically of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/megan-fox-was-dragged-through-the-coals-for-being-open-about-her-mistreatment-in-hollywood-before-metoo.html/”>feminism in Hollywood</a>. She said that while people speak about empowering women, they don’t actually do it behind closed doors.</p>

<p id=”par-12_41″>“This entire industry, all people say is ‘women empowering other women,’” she told Vanity Fair (per the <a href=”https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3m83kd6z8o” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>BBC</a>). “None of it’s happening. All of it is fake and a front for all the other s*** that they say behind everyone’s back.”</p>

<p id=”par-13_13″>She said it frustrated her to see women failing to support one another.</p>

<p id=”par-14_51″>“It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down, especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard — hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have — and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done.”</p>

<p id=”par-15_19″>Sweeney believed that women could be competitive, believing that there was only one spot for them at the top.</p>

<p id=”par-16_75″>“I’ve read that our entire lives, we were raised – and it’s a generational problem – to believe only one woman can be at the top,” she explained. “There’s one woman who can get the man. There’s one woman who can be, I don’t know, anything. So then all the others feel like they have to fight each other or take that one woman down instead of being like, let’s all lift each other up.”</p>
