Is it really wokery that has scuppered Victoria’s Secret’s empowerment reboot, or is this more a corporate cautionary tale about the perils of “faking it”?

Pure cope.

The “male gaze” still felt very much present, only this time it belonged to men in suits ogling cash registers for the gen Z kombucha-pound.

To crazy feminists like you, the "male gaze" will always feel present because you're insane. I guess VS should wrap women in burkas? I'm sure you'd take offense to that as well.

Remember that these days, more than ever, females don’t feel the burning need to be objectified and drooled over by gasping boys and dirty old men: the goal is to be your own eye candy.

Yeah yeah we know, you wear makeup for yourselves! That's why you only put it on when you go outside where you know men will see you.
