Potty-Mouthed Princesses

In the height of the recent push for feminism, the radicals have taken the spotlight. Any time something is in the news, the anchors are criticizing the extremeness for their actions. The latest act of radicalism comes from the group FCKH8. In late October they released a video on youtube. It is titled “Potty-Mouth Princesses” and has caused quite a stir in the American public. With hundreds of thousands of likes and shares on facebook, this video has gone viral.

Within the 2:35 seconds of the video, six girls and one boy, all in elementary school, attempt to bring awareness to the inequalities between men and women in our society. However, it is not done in the most tasteful way. The premises of the video is to show that the inequalities are more shocking and terrible than a few kids dropping the f-bomb every five seconds.

In theory, this video makes sense, but theory is the only place it does. Since the kids are so young, they do not understand the meaning or weight of the swear words and main ideas coming out of their mouths. An 8 year old does not understand the concept of the f-word just as much as he/she would not understand the concept of rape. Each of the children brought up heavy topics that none of them, doubtedly, understand fully. The kids looked like they were having fun playing the roles of sassy, smart women, but there is a slim chance they could actually comprehend what it is they were saying.

With that being said, this video is just another example of the radical aspect of feminism. Women believe they are helping, but instead cause more detriment. While watching this video, I was not focused on the message, but on how messed up the idea was. Having kids help fight a battle they do not understand is not right. So, yes, the video did get a lot of media attention on the movement, and it was mostly all bad, but in the end, some statistics are now out there. Yet, the video could have been delivered in a better, more sensible way to get the message out there.

In my opinion, the comments of the video are the best part of it.      

 

If these comments show anything, it is that people do not understand the idea of feminism. You have three guys ripping on women for their opinions and one feminist attacking men. Both sides of the battle mashed into one consecutive picture of comments. It is astounding how much people can just ignore the message of a movement and attack each other.
