I am not against swearing. I curse all the time. It's a bad habit that I'm trying to real in a bit, but I feel it's part of my expression. What I don't think is OK is when little girls are fed scripts that say, "Here say this, say that" and in between the message there are hundred curse words. Do they even know what they're saying a why? Probably not.
The messages they're trying to get across are something along the lines of women's rights and women's equality –– again I'm not still 100 percent sure because of the confusion I felt when I saw this sad attempt at an informational video.
I'm involved with women's rights club and I am self-proclaimed feminist. I love the fact that they're trying to educate the public about issues women are facing, such as pay inequality. I also like the fact they're encouraging young girls to express themselves and let themselves be heard, in whatever way they choose. But the way they executed this video was so terrible. It really served little purpose, expect causing controversy. Maybe that's all they want, who knows.
I do know that when I'm showing motivational, educational videos that feature woman power and women's rights to my four-year-old niece, I won't be showing this piece of shit.

It's all shock factor but at the end of the day it's a campaign to sell t-shirts. FCKH8 is for profit, so even though shining a light on gender inequality is important I'm not okay with them leeching off causes. This is not the first case either.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this video and thinking it was funny. I too did not see the point of it and thought that it was not properly thought out. I know the video is trying to send a message, but having these young girls swearing just because does look ridiculous.
