Stuff like this grinds my gears on so many levels. I'm pretty sure pandering to a female audience to tell them how hard it is to be a girl is an effective way of advertising sanitary towels. However suggesting that you can destroy a girls self confidence simply by saying 'throw like a girl'.... is simply propagating the idea that women are weak fragile creatures who need to be given special treatment such that they can be 'equal'. In many ways it reminds me of a better executed version of the 'Ban Bossy' campaign.

RE #LikeaGirl

Sure, its only a viral marketing campaign by Always. However, almost 40 million people have seen this video, and most seem to think that its onto something. To be honest, I think they might be right. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT A SIMILE IS!

Be a man and take it like a man…oh, wait… was that sexist? No, because sexism by any modern definition requires that it's a female victim, so this is ok. I find it amazing how we try to ignore biology in our culture, forcing women and men to act the same, be the same, dress the same, be interested in the same things… Chinese culture has a great symbol, the yin-yan, symbolizing the balance, what we're doing as a culture it try and make the yan be yin. But has anyone asked a women if she might like to be allowed to have children and if she might like to be allowed to be married to a husband that goes to work? In our culture just allowing for this "archaic" male/female role thinking is considered sexist. We oppress the free will of women through feminism. I have yet to se a pregnant man. Where I live the man can get a year off from work by law if he's in a legally recognized relationship with a woman that is about to give birth or just did. The woman then is free to choose to go back to work sooner, but I think that is as much as we can offer in gender equality. Unless we start considering it normal to grow babies in a bottle so the woman can keep a traditional male role going while she is getting a baby. We are really good at ignoring the unavoidable facts, when it comes to helping the oppressed. Feminism used to be about violence agains women, back then it made sense to support it. Now it is about oppressing the free will of women.

OK Thunderf00t, enough is enough. One more BS feminist video like this last one and I will not be supporting you anymore. That last video was just sad. I hold you to a higher standard. There are some crazy extreme feminists out there that need to be called out but that last video was just sad. I think you would be better off going back to Why Do People Laugh at Creationists, and your cool science videos.

agree with Brain Saying "Women generally are less strong, so you woman A is less strong than any man" is bad logic. There are women who are stronger/ faster/ what ever than any given man. This over generalisation is what people are railing against. So yeah exposing ad campaigns as false prophets is a good thing but then don't over do it and insult a whole sex. and Wenzel: not forcing men into a gender roll is also a good thing, It is not good that men are conditioned to be less emotionally responsive.

Actually Thunderf00t just executed another brilliant video. First, although the 'throw like a girl campaign' treats the 'throw like a girl' phrase as an insult to women, it fails to keep in mind that actually the phrase is typically given as an insult by a man to another man, not to a woman. Due to higher levels of testosterone in men, men are stronger on average than women. Thunderf00t did allude to this, showing the wikipedia reference article. The phrase would make no sense as an insult to a woman; to say that a girl throws like a girl is no insult. Instead the phrase is used by stronger or larger men as an insult against weaker or smaller men. The insult is that since higher testosterone levels give men an extreme advantage in upper body strength, that a man who 'throws like a woman' lacks the sufficient level of testosterone present in a healthy male. Second, Thunderf00t is correct about the hypocrisy of this campaign. If this campaign really tried to promote female advancement, then why were all of the women featured in the campaign attractive and slim? There are Olympian level javelin throwers and weightlifters who can throw better than all but elite male athletes, however, these women tend to be heavier and less attractive on average. Why were none of these women portrayed, or are the marketing campaigns of feminism only suitable for the small and pretty, as Thunderf00t eluded? Finally, let us not forget who this campaign is mostly geared towards. The phrase 'like a girl' is typically thrown around in elementary schools, so the most likely target will be elementary children, mostly elementary boys. What does this video then suggest be done to stop the phrase 'like a girl'? Do we now need to punish little boys for insulting other little boys, because the insult might also be offensive to girls? Old school female rights activitsts like Susan B Anthony stood up for equal voting rights for women. Today, feminism is slapping that in the face by picking on the trivial insults sent by little boys to other little boys. Good work Thunderf00t. These videos are exactly the reason why I have become one of your supporters.

I don't feel that this is the logic thunderf00t is trying to portray. At the risk of speaking for him, I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that thunderf00t realizes that there are exceptions where some women are stronger than men. The phrase 'men are typically stronger than women' needs to be translated as 'although there are exceptions, men are stronger on average than women.' No offense to you, but the fact that saying 'Women are generally less strong than men' is automatically equated as 'All women are less strong than all men' only shows just how 'politically correct' modern society has become. To say 'although there are exceptions, men are stronger on average than women' every time you make a comparison between male and female strength is simply a waste of words.

yup, when I was a kid, 'throwing like a girl' was used (in Spanish and German in my experience) and was looked as a way of speech and is not meant to be offensive. It's just... you hear it everywhere so you repeat it without really thinking. I've seen girls saying that to other girls and boys when I was a kid and it was normal. It's just... nowadays everybody is offended by everything.
