The documentary and video opened my eyes to the messages people in our society are sending, without even realizing it.

I will definitely be more conscious of what I say and I hope that I can teach my future children that they are not confined to what society subliminally teaches them.

I love that commercial. I totally agree with you. We definitely have a long way to go before "like a girl" evokes what we would all hope- what a woman really is. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to think that this type of media and objectification really is "normal" and so widely accepted. I really like this commercial and hope that we can make progress towards this!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely made me stop and think too about some of the thoughts I have and things I say about other people. It made me be more conscious about not judging other people based on trivial things like appearance.
