    Nothing short of exploitation of those girls in a misguided and sad attempt to promote equality. Equality when it comes to gender issues is still a serious matter and that video is a disgrace and disservice to that cause. The parents that allowed their kids to take part in that nonsense should have their heads examined, pathetic statement on their parenting skills.

    Absolutely agreed. Such a deserving cause, but marketing it this way was a very poor decision.

    I dont disagree with any of u but its no different than toddler and tiaras, dance moms and the itherdance kids reality show. In those shows i see strippers of the future

    If you react to the swearing, but not the message, you're doing exactly what the campaign wanted. So it's incredible marketing.

    This video is powerful. It opens eyes to the garbage women might have to experience. Many powerful women that I know, approve of this message. I agree. If it takes the f-bomb to get people talking, then great, let's start talking.

    No need to use kids to have them curse.

    The kids though...

    Why the kids? Why not nuns? Why not Martha Stewart? Why the kids?

    I'll repeat,

    The shock value comes from children cursing, wearing proper "lady etiquette" attire, which is contrary to the expectations of what a little girl is suppose to act - prim, proper, and silent. Using children sends a strong message and I think many posters here just fail to see it. So the fact that many of your are reacting in that manner proves the point of the video altogether.

    Them cursing does nothing for me except make me turn away from their entire message. As a mom I think it's disgusting to use children to promote ones agenda, regardless of the validity of it. That's just my opinion. I 100% support their cause, but by no means can I support this way of getting their message across.

    Then you're basically proving the point of the message and the video did its job.

    The question is....what should you be focusing on? The girls or the message?

    There u go....we should be it was lost thru the cursing.
    Do you think they
    could have achieved their goal without cursing but used the kids still?

    But, it wasn't lost through the cursing. You allowed it because you're fixated on it. Plain and simple.

    I got the message perfectly and didn't let the cursing serve as a deterrent.
