It's just companies using stupid hash tags to make a "statement" and sell their shit. If anything I'd be outraged if I was a woman because they're using issues that affect people to simply sell their product.

Feminists have always had eliminating traditional gender roles for women as a goal. Traditional gender roles for men are good though because they primarily benefit women

If women don't like how they're treated, maybe instead of complaining they should just man up about it.

The video focus on how when you insult a boy, the one hurted is the girl. I say a boy because young people are the one more malleable when they're attacked like that. An adult usually has learned to ignore it.

How many times LikeAGirl is directed to boys to undermine their image?
How many times it is directed to undermine girls?
Isn't comparing women to men and men to women a way to try undermine the other sex image of themselves?

IMHO that is the problem: LikeAGirl is used against boys to undermine their sexuality and image of themselves. "I'm not a girl, so I shouldn't do that" kind of logic. It affect boys directly.

Does it affect girls? For sure the stereotype now imprinted in the boy's mind will be shared and will travel in his social circle. More than that... I don't know. Please share with me.

In the end: using a boy's problem to help women while ignoring boys.

Can you give us a little more depth on your point OP?

i think they forgot something that is stereotypical of girls. expecting the world to conform to your desires even though you have done nothing to earn it "like a girl".
