Tim and Tina talk about Sofia Jirau, the first Victoria's Secret Model with Down syndrome. Are these models over-sexualized? Are people supposed to J their D to them? ymhstudios.com/ store.ymhstudi... / yourmomshousepodcast
It's pretty shitty to make jokes about people with Down syndrome. I don't think there's any way around that. "These women are more attractive than I am but I'm a smart comedian so let me compare them to someone with Down syndrome and I'm doing this to insult them which means I hold those with Down syndrome in low regard AND beneath me." This is her joke...
@@eleventhhour5270 sorry you feel that way, maybe you're on the wrong RU-vid channel. I come here for comedy. Even if it's at the expense of a certain group. Because if I was part of the certain group they're making jokes about, I'd still laugh. As long as they were funny to me. And in this case, I found it funny. Politically correct or not.
Every person with DS I’ve known was mentally like a child. It has the feeling like they got a 15 year old to be their model. I know it’s not the same thing. Just feels wrong
With respect, I got very little out of this discussion. This isn’t a dating app. This isn’t porn. I’ll j my d to whatever I want without any guilt, I’m not planning a family or directly interacting with anybody. You have free reign in fantasy. On a more practical end, if she sells products she looks good in, good on her. She’s a beautiful woman. Valid points on making sure she isn’t being taken advantage of, although I’d argue that a certain level of “daddy issues” should keep a lot of these “normal” women on the bench also. Imo, being (lack of a better term) cognitively impaired isn’t a far cry from certain psychological traumas which is common enough to be a stereotype in the industry and should be examined upon inclusion with equal care.
I saw a documentary about a Spanish man with Down syndrome studying psychology. And I worked with people with Down syndrome which had problems to dress themselves properly. They have a wide spectrum of cognitive capacity.
@@liverbirdxoxo1984 Yes it is, because they're people. Some having learning difficulties, that's wrong. But many do not, in which it's perfectly okay. So as long as she has the mental capacity, which many people with DS do, then it's totally fine.

Forrest Gump is different…. He was a football all-star in college, a Vietnam War hero, an international ping-pong champion, a shrimp boat captain, a rich investor in Apple, ran across the country (multiple times), honored by multiple US Presidents, influenced multiple celebrities and he’s a great Father… Jenny is the one that doesn’t deserve Forrest. Hell, name a Woman who does….
I wish I could post a picture of a meme here about this. Let me put it in words: Text: Bye Forrest, I’ll be back when you’re a shrimp billionaire and I’m a single mom with aids And the image is Jenny giving a piece sign with her hand
"Let's sexuallize a women with the mind of a child, and grand stand and virtue signal as the first and how awesome we are!" -Victoria's Secret, probably
A few of the kids who were in the special ed class of students with severe learning disabilities came to my senior prom. One of the girls came up and demanded that I dance with her, so for one song I did. And I could see how happy it made her. People with disabilities are still people with human feelings and impulses - we shouldn't pity them, we should respect them by not making their existence seem like a hassle for us or a nightmare for them.
The hire is a weird choice for all the reasons Tom and Christina highlighted. What about the decision to Photoshop her eyes closer together. It seems anti woke to Photoshop her physical symptoms of a condition they are trying to highlight, unless they are leaning into the sexualization, which is gross.
The do photoshop every other model. If they didn't do it to her pictures because she looks different because of down syndrome then they'd be treating her differently than the other models so you see the right thing to do is to photoshop her eyes closer together. Technically, they're treating her like everyone else.
I just hope this girl has someone advocating for her along with advocating for herself. She could easily get taken advantage of. People with downs syndrome have dreams, passions, sexual urges, a want to be desired/loved, and all the things "normal" people feel and want to do. I'm all for it if she has someone in her corner every step of the way.
Plus this comment is just stupid. No one needs to be told that people with down syndrome have the same urges and desires as everyone else. OF COURSE THEY DO! Wtf
My friends sister had DS, and every day i came home from school she just wanted to throw bricks at us...I had to walk around the block and approach my house from the opposite end of the street just to avoid her....There was no hint of her wanting to be desired/loved, she just wanted to cave our heads in...
@@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837 Why isn’t your tag about human suffering. The North Koreans living in slavery. Or the Uyghurs being slowly genocided in concentration camps, for example. Why does animal suffering bother you more? Just asking.
@@leomulgrew1509 I can realistically influence people to consider not paying for animals to die unnecessarily, but people at large are not causing the two mistreatments of humans that you mentioned.
@@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837 Politely, I disagree. Every time we engage with the Chinese economy we are tacitly supporting the CCP, who are directly responsible for the two atrocities I mentioned (& others). If a critical mass of people drastically changed their habits, & educated themselves about totalitarian regimes, that regime could definitely be brought down, or at worst bullied into change. Hell, a single book - gulag, played a major part in bringing the Soviet Union down. I believe that there is enough evidence to suggest we could realistically stop the atrocities I mentioned within our lifetimes. Politely, more evidence than we could alter the diet of billions of people. No hate, I’m glad people like u are out there doing what u believe is right. I’m just morbidly fascinated as to why people seem more distressed by animal suffering, than by the human suffering happening right now..
Don’t know how I feel about this. I will say that they found the least “downs” looking person I’ve ever seen. She is a very pretty young girl, but what parent wants or lets their mentally handicapped daughter enter this kind of career. It’s hard enough to navigate it without being sexually assaulted when you do have all of your faculties about you. Something does seem off about this?!…hmm
I love how you just assume that every single model ever is sexually assaulted 😂 I gaurantee you this woman is being well looked after, stop assuming that she'll be sexually assaulted purely bc you think she's incapable
@@yesdude3914 still a developmentally disabled person being sexualized. a child in an adult body!!!! I think your little FGTRTD outrage is misdirected.
@@yesdude3914 I think if you had every female model ever take a poll on whether or not they’ve felt extremely uncomfortable or have been sexually assaulted I’d be willing to bet %75 have at least. I get what you’re saying but let’s be honest this kind of business is gross in that sense and nobody says anything until someone like Harvey Weinstein is put on blast then everybody speaks up
I was a hispanic kid who watched Samurai movies. I always wanted to be like them in the movies. Never occurred to me as a kid that I had to look like them too.
There's different levels of Down Syndrome, she most likely is very high functioning. There are some people with DS that can take care of themselves and live on their own, the only difference might be some physical differences.
Bro her comments were so ignorant, it made my fucking head spin. Like yes it’s a conversation but she didn’t need to be so committed to that ignorance lol tom at least was a little more delicate but she straight up is acting like people with disabilities can’t do anything for themselves. Ick
@@partiallyhealedsunburn1881 Yeah, I hate people like that. I have a physical disability but I work full time, own my own home and do my own yard work. I'm sure this girl is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.
@@mollynash2597 Yeah, they each made some poorly thought out and insensitive comments. I think a big problem was that it took a serious issue about sexual consent and morality and immediately turned into a crass bit that made a lot of assumptions and (ironically, considering the worry about objectifying the girl) and spoke about her in a way that implied she was less than a person. Whether or not someone with an intellectual disability can consent or not or if it's immoral to have casual sex or hook up with them are interesting questions though; especially when society tends to take it for granted that people with intellectual disabilities still have sex drives.
The way Tina refers to other women, just because she judges what they do for their job, is gross. Jokes about other women's intelligence because of their career is so weird. People with down syndrom are adults. They have lives. Love lives. Sex lives. She has an extra chromosome, she is not a child.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 No she isn't, she is disabled and that's a fact. Doesn't mean she has to die alone in a hole. But if you gonna sexualize her and use her as a product ( as you said, everybody else is exploited so fair game ), at least she needs to know what is up and more importantly, THE PUBLIC ( CUSTOMERS ) too. If she has only physical symptoms and she is a functioning 24 yo woman then i have no problem. If she is a 7yo mind in a 24yo body and is being used for this type of work by her guardians and companies, we're way beyond sexualization and deep into child exploitation, that's the big deal here.
People with Down Syndrome normally get a full psychological evaluation that includes an assessment of decision-making-capacity and consent capacity. This evaluation determines the level of independence they can have to make decisions such as medical treatment, reproduction, relationships, work (modeling for Victoria’s Secret), etc. I’m a big fan of you guys, keep it up! ❤️
My wife worked with developmentally and physically disabled for some time. You are right on the money. She can't do anything that's outside her capacity.
@@williambartholmey5946 Not necessarily. Sometimes there might be a conflict between the patient's and their guardian's wishes. In that case, an assessment of capacity can be performed to determine the level of understanding that the patient has. I am not sure whether this is absolutely needed for all the people with Down Syndrome but I do know it is an available tool and I personally would like to provide my family member the opportunity to choose within their competence. I am a physician but this is not my area of expertise, I hope my answer helped a little. Best wishes :)
The thing is, with down syndrome most of us feel a bit like, it's the wonderful mind of a child but permanently. So it feels similar to sexualized children. It's uncomfortable. I don't really know what to think of it. Of course she has the right to do what she wants like everyone else. In any other context you would never sexualize someone with down's in the same way you wouldn't with a child unless you got something going on up there. It's a strangely conflicting feeling. That said, you guys in the comments ain't got a shot with this girl. Lmao get ready for some awkward rejections.
Yeah, except that’s a common misconception and isn’t true, they just mature later. People need to look in to the different kinds of it before making assumptions lol
I completely understand why it feels uncomfortable to sexualize mentally handicapped adults...but we have to understand that many of mentally handicapped folks are in touch with there sexuality and do indeed have sex themselves. So I mean...
@@Phogramo I think, without trying to be diminishing, it is fair to say that it's not quite the same. And as such the concern remains at the very least partially. Especially since not all people are the same. There are good reasons that we help people with this neurodivergence, and the help doesn't necessarily stop at any particular age.
@@lazyblazer Oh absolutely. I'm not exactly against her being a model, not in the least. I'm just trying to put my feelings into words somehow to process them. I mean how would I feel if someone without any "major" neurodivergence were to sleep with someone with down syndrome? I think quite genuinely I would feel like there was a level of someone being taken advantage of. It's hard to shake that feeling even though I want everyone to be able to lead lives according to their wishes.
I showed this to my mom and she goes “she’s really funny and talks really well for having Down’s syndrome” and I realized she thought Tom was interviewing the model and I was like MOM THAT’S HIS WIFE CHRISTINA and she goes WELL I DON’T KNOW 😂😂
@@MrSlayer6 Savage??? That’s damn Savage? Make fun of special needs makes here f’n savage to you?? Good grief that’s absolutely pitiful of you and sad. Thank God she isn’t the parent of a special needs child or you too Jason. Think if your son was or daughter little man. Zero respect for folks like you. Proud Dad of a non verbal Down Syndrome/Autistic son. Shame on you. Little little man!! Btw love comedy and can take a joke with the best of them.

It's also ridiculous how people assume people with disabilities are somehow supposed to be ugly. As if we can't be attractive because we have disabilities. People are actually surprised when you're not some monstrosity.
@@adamholt09 There's also a stigma among "normal" people that anyone who's disabled but looks "normal" is somehow a liar and faking their illnesses. Mental disabilities aren't always going to show up in an outward appearance the same way a wheelchair or missing limbs would. Some physical ones don't show outwardly either but will manifest when a person is doing tasks or other physical activities. The old adage of "don't judge a book by it's cover" applies.
I'm not a model, but I'm not ugly. Nobody ever believes me when I say I'm disabled due to spina bifida oculta (and other things), until I raise my shirt up and you can see the scars from the 70+ surgeries I've had in my 36 years. Everything tends to carry a stigma attached, with disabilities it's disabled = disfigured.
I'm not an expert but there is a spectrum to Down's, depending on what part of one of the chromosome number 21 and how much of it is is double, etc. Just by her facial features it looks like she has a less severe case. It must be frustrating for people in her situation if they are independent and intelligent. I'm sure they want to be able to have a relationship with "normal" people too and not just other people with similar disabilities. But I too doubt that she is aware that there is more to this than just some innocent underwear photos. Pretty weird on VS's part and they know full well that it will be hard to say anything against it without coming off as a patronising ableist bigot and what-have-you, even though their motif really IS rather questionable
@@LateTeens709 My husband works in a facility that supports people of various genetic defects and deviations, including people with Down's syndrome. And though they all have certain typical characteristics in common, the degrees in which those manifest can vary drastically. There are those few on the upper extreme that manage to go to college, and there are those on the lower end that aren't even able to speak or do even the simplest tasks on their own. So yeah, there is indeed a spectrum to Down's. That being said, I agree almost completely with Tom and Tina in this particular case.
@@durchhalter My daughter has down syndrome. There is NO spectrum. Someone with Down's who you might perceive as "having it worse than others" most likely has a dual diagnosis of Down's and Autism (Which has a spectrum). You either have Down's syndrome or you do not. That's all there is to it.
@@LateTeens709 I get what you are saying and the “spectrum” for downs people vary greatly in “function ability.” For example, my older brother has Downs and he is high function, goes to work, makes dinner, talks to his friends/family on the phone while I have also seen downs people that can’t tie a show or carry a conversation.
@@LateTeens709 there are different types of mutations that all fall under Down's syndrome. You could have part of a third copy of chromosome 21 translocate to chromosome 14 and bind to that, you could have trisomy only in some cells but not in others (mosaicism), etc etc. All that shows itself in the form of varying degrees of disability, that's why I said "spectrum". It might not be defined as being a spectrum, but there sure as hell are people with Down's that have it worse because of these different causes for their trisomy 21
Honestly the more I watch these people the more I start to realize that they aren’t actually good people just some judgmental snobby comedians, I mean if you count Christina as a comedian…
I worked with people with down syndrome who were in their late 40's and as mature as they might look, mentally I wouldn't put them past 10-12 years old maybe, I mean, we had to help them count coins so they could buy a pack of crisps or a can of coke. So knowing how predatory and sexualized the modelling industry is, there is nothing "woke" or "inclusive" about this. It reminds me of that video where these people thought they were saving this tortoise by throwing it into the lake, not knowing that a tortoise and a turtle are not the same thing, "but its close enough".
The industry is the same regardless. the problem is glorifying mental defects. Encouraging these people to breed is dangerous. Nature rejects defects for a reason. Animals reject defects 100% of the time. The world does not need another defective brain breeding. overpopulation is already the biggest issue. We dont need sick/defective people breeding.
They don't all have the same mentality and throwing a blanket statement out like all people with Down syndrome have the mentality of a child is extremely offensive. For some it's just a physical disfigurement it's not always an extreme mental disorder.
@@brian6391 never said all people with down syndrome are like that, but the ones I worked with, you're just trying to find something to get triggered about. Besides, if someone with predatory intentions was to take advantage of someone with DS, their narrative would fit yours here, trying to justify your actions.
@@Wakshak321 So now you're calling me a predator haha? I doubt you've actually worked with disabled people like you claim you sound like someone hiding something.
@@brian6391 sure buddy, because I'm the one being upset over a comment thats actually concerned about a predatory industry and intellectual disability, saying how not all people with down syndrome are intellectually impaired like anyone claimed otherwise... Get a life maybe instead of looking for things on the internet to get offended by needlessly
Here's another thing to think about. What if a sex tape leaked? Lmfao. Who do you think would address the issue? You know 90% of men would break their keyboards Googling for it so hard lol.
I totally get their point, however as a speech therapist (just based on my degree/knowledge) I am sure they have done many and frequent IQ tests throughout her life and likely now scores within the normal range for her age. I am sure she provided consent. If her IQ was 70 or below, I doubt they would allow her to consent, although they may have allowed the parents/guardian/proxy to do so.
I’m a behavior analyst that works with adults with disabilities and a huge problem is that we neglect to teach these men and women about sexuality and romantic relationships. I love that she is embracing her sexuality to some degree and I hope that she has a support system around her to safely navigate bring a public figure 😊
I'm currently in recovery from fentanyl and I'm going through withdrawal, it's very painful but your videos help pass the time more comfortably.

I went through this twice, I wrote how I got through it but after reading it, I’m scared it could trigger you. Good luck cause Ik it’s hell. Been off H 13yrs 8 months today. Fentanyl was around back then n happy I got out. Fight through n DONT GO BACK!!!
Doesn't down syndrome have a wide spectrum like pretty much every other condition? From Sofia's inverviews it seems that she isn't a very harsh case. She understands all the questions asked and answers as you would expect from most "normal" people.
exactly, I noticed that too. People seem to lump everyone together and everyone is unique and has varying mental capacity. Hers seems to be pretty high. She also works out a lot! *Most, are wired different and have physical limitations butvagain, she seems to not fit the mold and while on the small side, she is in great shape!
@@Jan-ce4zo I'm Puerto Rican and it's such a PR thing for the first Victoria's Secret model to be Puerto Rican. I can imagine a family going "But she has her disabilities" and someone going "Pero mira la tetas"
I understand that feeling. It feels wrong because we view her as innocent. It’s similar to viewing her as a child and how we would feel if a 14 year old girl was suddenly modeling lingerie.
With an average IQ of less than half an unaffected person, it would appear to be exploitation considering the complexity of the contract that she no doubt signed. Most people with an IQ of 100 would have difficulty understanding a corporate media contract, let alone an individual with half that.
“ The average intelligence quotient (IQ) of children with DS is around 50, ranging between 30 and 70.” Tell me, would it have been wrong to fuck the girl with Down syndrome at my high school? The one who struggled to do basic tasks and control her emotions/behaviors? Some of these people don’t have a great grasp on things, yet you guys seem to want to make it acceptable to sexualize them? You know who else has reduced mental capabilities? Women who are drunk/on drugs, and it’s considered rape to do anything with them obviously. I think it’s a bad idea to start sexualizing people with Down syndrome, I don’t mind normal modeling but the idea is that you want to fuck them. Imagine a young kid sees this, and goes and takes advantage of the girl with Down syndrome at school because he doesn’t know any better. That’s the type of shit that would happen, because if you just sexualize them without first talking about this then people are going to assume it’s ok in all cases. We probably need to have tests to determine if they can consent to these type of things, like how there’s probably ways they stay under guardianship if they aren’t capable of making decisions for themselves as an adult.
Exactly, so why does it matter if she understands it? “Normies” can’t! Anybody getting involved with a big contract like that would have a trusted lawyer/agent review it.
@@christophercollins3632 It's the intent of the organization. Knowingly entering into a contract with someone of diminished intellectual capacity is predatory. The situation is compounded when it is in an industry that is based on exploiting people for their looks.
If they truly are inclusive or woke about this. They wouldn't even mention she has downs. The way we should of found out is that she tells us later on.
@@alexlifeson6264 i get that u can I'm not trying to be woke. Just saying I'm sure as soon as they hired her they were posting it and calling for interviews.
Its funny how the unwoke try to tell the woke they aren’t woke enough,which is suposed to “backfire” and prove that wokeness is the problem. I don’t quite have it figured out but i guess Woke is bad, anti woke is also bad, and half woke is the worst? I don’t know
Honestly it's a woke off. You can never be woke enough for modern culture. Personally i just be myself brutally honest and straight to the point. Fuck em all left, right, middle. They say it will get to point if your white and straight u can only live in a box underground without talking.
Yes, most men would pass this woman by regardless of her body. We (all people not just men) are genetically predisposed to pass on potential mates who have obvious issues. I imagine most men who usually enjoy a nice bust and good curves on a woman had the same reaction.
Most men are also predisposed to be afraid of getting caught fucking someone with DS. If they were on a deserted island alone with her and could know for a fact no one would ever find out, however, the numbers would change dramatically I suspect (though I'm not sure that it would be such an indefensibly unethical thing to do).
Hold up - If a developmentally delayed person, who is an adult, wants to get a P in their V, is it ethically okay to tell them they're not capable of making that decision? Life's been hard enough, kinda feels like you're kicking someone when they're already down(s).
My adult friend has a birthday party at the waterslides. A few years ago there was a mentally handicapped woman with a body that was unreal, it was unbelievable. Mind boggling. She had two male family members as bodyguards. God bless em. It was very confusing.
Its so difficult to phrase such things that I found myself unable to express what was wrong and ended up waiting for Tom to explain it to me. And he did it spot on. This is weird.
i completely disagree with your initial premise that "inclusion is important" becuause kids will think "oh i can do that", "because they see themselves representative". maybe inclusion is important, when youre kids. but dont teach your kids that group identity is the most important factor when valuing someone. im a typical scandinavian and a lot of my childhood heroes dont at all share my ethnicity or in some cases gender and the same goes for exactly all of my friends, no one ever said "oh well we cant do that because that guy is black". i think youre being weak, i also think that line of thinking: that individual value comes secondary, is evil.
Man I’m a big fan of the show but this segment feels mean. They start to lose me when they make fun of mentally challenged people - I know it’s a joke and I’ll be called easily offended but I just can’t see the humor in it
Are there any trans VS models? Maybe a quadriplegic? A midget or a giant? Thatd be funny if there's just a dog and they say it identifies as a woman so there's a VS dog model now. Or an alien.
All I have to say is for one.. I'm actually kinda proud of yall for pausing to think about it.. but not every person with down syndrome is the same.. gotta take it case by case basis.. just like you would anyone else on earth.. I would also CHALLENGE you to meet some adults with down syndrome and talk to them.. and you'll realize.. they like sex too.. lol
Well can it just be said that people with disabilities are still people, a decent amount of disabled individuals are able to consent and actively have sex so it shouldn't be so outlandish that their expressing their sexuality like everyone else.
@@Suhmstank @SuhmStank 420 this might sounds crazy but people with disabilities aren't children and deserve to be treated like the rest of us. There's nothing wrong with a woman with downs being with a neurotypical man. It's also important to point out that a model with downs is more beneficial to young girls with that same disability rather than people using her as Jack off material. Both are fine but she's not just there for you👍
Hey, you gotta remember, its true these girls are beautiful beyond reach, but thier job is is to be a walking coat hanger! Thats all they really are a device to drape some clothing on and show that clothing off! There, I put it in perspective for you, your welcome... now go about your day.
The first time I ever j’d my d was when I saw a VS catalog in our mail. I would then get the mail everyday, and if there was a catalog, that shit would not make it to my mom and sisters until at LEAST 3 days after it actually came in. It’s kind of uncomfortable to think about a kid having that same experience today, but the model they’re throwin ropes to has downs.
She's not a girl, she's a woman. Adults with developmental disabilities have sex lives. Don't assume that she isn't mature or is 'diminished' or doesn't understand. Down syndrome spectrum is so vast, sometimes you can't tell, sometimes the physical features give it away more than behavior.
So I worked with those with Mild through severe mental (R). I use the R because I know some people like to be offended by whats been a medical term for basically forever and cant not think of it like a child. Moving on....I have also worked in the past with several individuals with Down syndrome and will say that within that category there is actually a large contrast in mental ability. So while I would say that some in that group certainly could never truly understand a decision this girl has decided to make others in the group absolutely can. I suspect she likely has above a 70 Iq if tested (The avg being mid 50) and the general pop Iq being about 100. Ill just say this....I have seen those with Down SYndrome preplan ahead and devise strategies to manipulate those around them....I have also helped one individual pass their GED. If they can do that...she can make the decision to be a model. There are down syndrome couples who are married and shocker....yes they have sex. That isnt everyone....but with relatively low supervision many can live fairly normal lives like the rest of us. Many cant also....its on a case by case basis.
In all fairness, you're posting this on a channel that has 'FGTRTD' prominently in the background... but if you did use the word, youtube probably would have shadowbanned your comment to the very back of the comments, so there's that.
I say use it. It's the correct medical term. I think if you start to curtail the usage of the proper term it gives them the illusion of being right and making others think its wrong to say it. Besides that good points
The phrase "Mentally Retarded" hasn't been used as a medical term in... well... forever!... but, sure! Let's pretend that it has been to justify our complete inability to change our language and grow as human beings. How hard is it to say "Intellectual Disability"? Too many syllables for you? How long has it been since you even had a job in the field? Because as a DSP and RBT, the latter of which requires a very specific set of terms to be used, I would at the very least suffer disciplinary actions for uttering that phrase. I have read and written many an IEP, IPP, Medication Administration Record, you fucking name it, and not a single time have I seen the phrase "Mentally Retarded." Not. Once.
It's a "we can't be honest about what this company really is, the original softcore porn, we're going to cross the line of morality (it''s so blurry in our society no wonder no one knows where it is) in the hopes it will garner more support from the mob of the moment" moment.
