Feminists on Twitter have for days been sharing photos of scantily-clad NFL cheerleaders in an effort to shame conservative critics of the Super Bowl halftime show.
According to the consensus on the left, Sunday’s mid-game performance by Latina pop stars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira was an epic display of female empowerment. And the show’s pro-immigration symbolism was a bonus.
Fans have sung the praises of the middle-aged Latina duo in blog posts, op-eds and TV appearances
Meanwhile, on Twitter, liberal activists have sought to shut down countervailing takes from the right that some of the stripper-inspired gyrations weren’t family friendly enough for prime time.

It was this Twitter campaign that birthed the meme of NFL-cheerleader photos captioned with scolding feminist messages. The basic point of the tweets is that conservatives are hypocritical — and possibly racist — for appreciating their home team’s cheer squad while complaining about J.Lo and Shakira.

Some conservatives have disputed the notion that criticizing the halftime show makes them bigots.
In an exchange with a Twitter accuser Sunday, The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh noted that conservatives have been complaining about “inappropriate” halftime shows by white performers “for the past 25 years.”
Wait you really think people just started complaining about inappropriate half time shows this year when the performers were from Latin America? Have you been cryogenically frozen in a capsule somewhere for the past 25 years? Honestly curious https://t.co/GtvC17mR6X

However, most conservatives stayed silent amid the onslaught of cheerleader images from sex-positive feminists.
Maybe they were cowed, or maybe, like one socially conservative woman’s 13-year-old son, they’re so disgusted that they had to retreat to their bedrooms for some alone time.
