Commercial Analysis Of A Commercial: 'Like A Girl'

The commercial I’m looking at is #LikeAGirl by Always. Why has the phrase “Like A Girl” has been used as an insult? This commercial focuses on how a girl’s confidence goes down when they hit puberty. The commercial accomplished their message, they made a good point that girls are already insecure from many things and the phrase “Like A Girl” should not be one of it.

The commercial “#LikeAGirl” starts their commercial by asking a group of kids to do some actions they are being told. The kids vary from ages from age ten to teenagers, both girl and boy. The kids have to act the actions the producer asks them to do. They have to act the actions but act them like a girl. She asks them to run, fight and run like a girl. When the kids run, they run

This proves how the phrase like a girl should not be used as an insult because many girls who hit puberty question themselves if they are strong enough to do the same things men do. This commercial represents how as a women hits puberty their confidence shouldn’t lower. Hitting puberty should be a positive thing not a negative thing. When men hit puberty they are consider stronger and this should be the same for women. Women who have went through puberty could reject parts of the ad because they could had gain more confidence rather than loosing it. Some males might accept parts of the ad by agreeing that the phrase like a girl applies to every girl. Not all girls are strong, run fast or throw like an athlete but that shouldn’t categorize women to fall in to the phrase like a girl. In the commercial they asked a girl what did she advice girls who were told that they were doing things like a girl. The girl said that to keep doing what your doing because even if you’re not doing it right you will get better and you shouldn’t feel discourage to be a girl. The company Always makes girls feel confidence because they show how hitting puberty is only the start to becoming a better and a stronger
