Little Girls Unleash a Torrent of Profanity In ‘F-Bombs for Feminism’

[big_dog]

in this video by FCKH8.com, little girls dressed up as princesses explain how unfair the world is to women with a crapload of words far worse than crapload.

For example, choice phrases include “I’m not some pretty fucking hopeless princess in distress!”, “Pay up, motherfucker!”, and “Start teaching boys not to fucking rape!” Yes, these little girls also talk about rape, as well as how society judges women’s looks and pay equality.

The girls ask, “What is more offensive: a little girl saying f*ck or the fucking unequal sexist way society treats girls and women?”

The original video was removed from FCKH8′s Vimeo page, but a new, identical version went up Wednesday afternoon: http://www.mediaite.com/online/little-girls-unleash-a-torrent-of-profanity-in-f-bombs-for-feminism/

7. Same here, I learned from an expert

My dad, dealing with an automatic stoker hung up on a clinker at 2 AM, back in the bad old days when houses were heated with coal.

I expanded it when I worked with a road crew doing concerts in the 60s.

I refined it to its present paint peeling state working with the foulest mouthed women on the face of the planet, nurses.

Now I don't honestly feel a need to let fly unless the provocation is intense. I inspire far more than I use.

However, I did once make a longshoreman blush.

3. Stupid.

[superpatriotman]

6. +1

Pointless. Crude.

[snooper2]

5. lips not matching words- FAIL, bleeping out fuck- FAIL

Talking way to fast- FAIL


Otherwise it could have been a WIN!

[big_dog]

13. the original had a lot less bleep and a lot more swearing

i think that is what drove the wingnuts crazy about it

[Cali_Democrat]

10. I'll give you a few more minutes before you're banned. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

9. I have to admit, this made me laugh.

I have a bit of a potty-mouth myself.

[Ampersand Unicode]

14. Two wrongs don't make it right.

Both things are disgusting. Sexism is wrong but so is this ad. How is it sexist to be turned off by the sight of children, of any gender, swearing like sailors?

This ad is horrendously misguided and is going to turn a lot of mainstream women off from feminism. It actually comes off as exploitative of the kids. It's not so much think of the children as think of the message. If you're not preaching to the choir, you're going to have to soften your approach rather than make people sick. I mean seriously, is that what they want feminism to be associated with, little kids spouting off the F-word? Gee, why not have a NORML ad feature kids smoking pot? How about a MADD ad with kids getting drunk? We've already got the NRA exploiting the tragedy of the little girl who shot her shooting instructor, do leftist causes really want to stoop to their level in order to get support?

These ad campaigns always fail because of too much shock value and minimal focus on issues. Like Lena Dunham comparing her first time voting to her first time having sex. Feminism needs to have class in order to succeed. This video doesn't have class. It's crass.

20. They are not doing it for feminism. They are doing it to make money. It is a for profit company.

[nomorenomore08]

43. "Two wrongs don't make a right." Yet you seem more upset about one "wrong" than the other.

"Feminism needs to have class in order to succeed."

This is way too close to "Be polite and ladylike." Just saying.

[NaturalHigh]

15. Gee, I wish we had taught our daughter to swear like that.

[Le Taz Hot]

16. This thread was worth opening

just to watch the clutch-the-pearls crowd reach for the smelling salts.

I LOVE IT!!!!!! But, as a proud potty mouth, I would.

[Luminous Animal]

21. I agree. But I don't agree with the ad campaign to sell T-shirts. FCKH8 is a for profit company...

that is exploiting children to sell T-shirts which, supposedly they will kick back a bit of the profits to... well, we don't know because they don't say.

They also don't say where their other donations go on the sales of their other products. Only that they do donate. Okey-doke.

[laundry_queen]

29. Haha, totally. 'Nother potty mouth here. nt

[Le Taz Hot]

34. "Fuck" and the "N-word"

are two entirely different things. One is a expletative and the other a racial slur so no, it's not the same thing.

Enjoy your stay here. I've a feeling it will be brief.

[Le Taz Hot]

38. Ace, you're comparing apples and oranges.

I'm sure if you try real hard you can find that other brain cell.

[Le Taz Hot]

41. Dude, you are SO lost.

The KKK meeting is down the hall and to the right.

[hobbit709]

35. Not even a smart troll.

[Aerows]

17. I try my best to refrain from using foul words

But when I let loose ... the ones I choose are well placed, foul and extremely ugly. I'm not proud of it, I just know when to lose my temper and exactly what to say when I do so.

[hobbit709]

37. Those that know me well understand that when I get exceedingly polite is when

I'm about to blow up. When I'm grumbling and cussing that's normal.

[Nye Bevan]

18. So who are the people who will become more sympathetic to the feminist cause

because they saw a video where little girls dressed as princesses had been instructed to say curse words such as "motherfucker"?

[Luminous Animal]

22. People who want to make money. It is an ad campaign for a for profit company.

[Nye Bevan]

23. Ah. Someone making money out of having little girls say "motherfucker".

Normally such an enterprise would be condemned on DU but I guess injecting an ostensibly feminist angle has brought them a certain amount of immunity in this regard.

[Luminous Animal]

24. It did make me laugh and they do say that they donate to the causes that their T-shirts espouse but,

they are not transparent about it.

My own daughter at age 6, held some very strong feminist views and at age 8, stronger still and better able to express them intelligently and coherently. (6-8 is the age range of the girls in the video.)

Likely, I could have made a video of her, using her own voice... expressing her own unscripted views... and encouraged her to throw a few fucks and motherfuckers into her sentences, I think she would have enjoyed that.

But this feminist know that is not what is going on here.

[Luminous Animal]

26. I do like the line that a little girl saying fuck is more offensive than sexism is compelling.

[Luminous Animal]

19. The original, without the bleeps is here on Vimeo

[Go Vols]

27. Better without all the bleeps

[Texasgal]

25. This is fucking stupid.

The whole thing is just stupid.

[nilram]

30. +10

Overproduced.

[Hippo_Tron]

28. Good video, not wild about the fact that they're using it to sell a product, though...

[nomorenomore08]

44. Agreed. n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

31. Cue Maurice Chevalier singing

"Thank &%$#*@ for little girls..."

[Donald Ian Rankin]

32. It's not obvious to me that this has anything whatsoever to do with feminism. N.T.

[Mister Nightowl]

39. Why the bleeping?

It lessens the impact and undermines the message.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

45. I'll bet middle America is lining up to take a second look at feminism.
