There is not one advertisement that gets me upset but there is one ad campaign that has really stood out to me. It is called #likeagirl and they have videos of people acting out what it means to run like a girl, throw like a girl, and more. Then they have young girls run and throw and it is the exact opposite of what the previous actions were doing. They question the idea of how doing something like a girl became an insult to people. I really like the idea of the campaign because it suggests that younger generations are hopefully going to rid our society of these stereotypes. Like a girl is emphasizing how when girls go through puberty they feel pressure to change and no longer play sports but this campaign is encouraging them to keep playing. On a larger scale we are seeing women take more leadership position in the work force and especially in politics, as the next U.S. president has potential to be a female. If you would like to watch the video I am positing the link below my post. Hope you all enjoy!
