: An influencer named Brooke Scheurn posted a video last year promoting ExxonMobil’s fuel rewards program. Scheurn, visibly pregnant, is seen taking her son to the park, getting an ultrasound, and getting gas while using ExxonMobil’s rewards program, all set to David Bowie’s “Fashion.” Comments on the post are mostly along the lines of “Getting it all done mama!💪🏼” and “productive mama😍”.
While I’m sure there are plenty of male influencers paid by these companies too, I can’t help but think this use of female stereotypes is intentional, and the whole point of such campaigns. Target women: Men love pretty women! Women love mommy bloggers! Everyone loves a grandma!

One commenter on Lizzy’s post wrote: “WHERE ARE LIzzies [sic] VALIES?
