As usual, I feel the need to give a sex/swearing warning to those who feel uncomfortable with such things. This isn't done in my usual story-format, but rather, in script format.
Let me know what 你 think in the comments! :D

Adriana: Hm? (0:02)
Branson: I can see where this is going. (0.04)
Adriana: She's really pretty... (0:10)
Lucy: NO. NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS. (0.16)
Branson: LAME! (0:17)
Adriana: so it's one of these... (0:17)
Adriana: Oh there's more? (0:20)
Carter: Not all girls are worried about their hair though... (0.21)
Lucy: I'm going to hunt down these girls and hit them with a fucking shovel. (0.22)
Veto: Okay, this is stupid. (0:22)
Branson: Oh, come on! (0:23)
Adriana: They're doing guys too? (0:25)
Carter: No, no! That's terrible! (0.30)
Lucy: *raises fist* 你 motherfucker. I'll beat your ass. (0.30)
Branson: 你 know what, I can't stand this anymore. *stands up* Can we pause the video? Can we... *they pause video* Okay, *ahem* Run like a girl: *runs furiously in place* Fight like a girl: *starts punching and kicking like she knows exactly how to defend herself* Throw like a girl: *makes a strong throwing motion* See? /That's/ how it's supposed to be? No what these twats are doing! *sits down, lets them continue the video* (0:36)
Adriana: Aw! That's so cute! (0:49)
Carter: Yes! Yes! 你 run as fast as 你 can, sweetie!
Branson: Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! (0:50)
Lucy: I always find it funny how children have 更多 sense then adults. (0.56)
Adriana: So cute!! (1:03)
Carter: Hate to break it to you, honey, but 你 definitely did. (1:10)
Adriana: Wait... what does that mean? (1:14)
Branson: I like that girl. I really like that girl. (1:24)
Lucy: I'm so relieved that children understand that! (1.24)
Adriana: It's true guys... (1:39)
Veto: Oh my god. This is actually sad, I'm tearing up a little (1:51)
Carter: I'm getting a little emotional. *wipes tear from his eye* (1:57)
Adriana: *nods* (2:34)
Branson: Tell it like it is! (2:34)
Veto: *Crying* Preach! (2:35)
Lucy: 你 go girl! (2:35)
Branson: It does. 或者 at least it should. (3:01)
Carter: It's funny how this video can apply to gay guys too. People always say "that's so gay" when something is stupid 或者 feminine, and it sucks. Ladies, I feel you. (3:04)
Lucy: See, this video shows the way women should be treated! (End)
Branson: I 爱情 this, definitely sharing this on my band's page. (End)
Veto: Now I feel bad for all the times I've ever told somebody like "oh 你 do that like a girl" (End)
问题
What was the video about?
Adriana: Um, how girls get those kinds of comments?
Carter: How women are placed with this "like a girl" stereotype, and how unfair that is.
Veto: Something that has to do with girls. It's very sad.
Branson: We need to stop using "Like a girl" as an insult! It's not funny, it's not appropriate, all it does is completely demean half the planet just for your momentary amusement!
Lucy: The video basically just explained the reason why I'm a lesbian. Because men are assholes and place gender roles on us.
This is an "Always" campaign, did 你 know that?
Carter: I did, yeah.
Lucy: Really? *pauses* A line of beauty products did something right.
Adriana: Yeah, they kind of 说 it at the end.
Branson: Didn't it say in the video? Well, whatever.
Veto: No. I thought Always was just a thing for like pads and shit.
Did 你 find it interesting how the older girls still followed this "like a girl" stereotype when asked to demonstrate 表演 "like a girl?"
Carter: Yeah, that was a little heartbreaking, to be honest.
Adriana: Yeah.
Veto: No. It was just sad.
Lucy: Yep...
Branson: They shouldn't! It's ridiculous! Girls need to stop treating themselves as if they're some 瓷, 瓷器 doll for boys to goggle at, because they aren't!
Why do 你 think that is?
Branson: Because some twats decided to treat being "like a girl" as meaning the same thing as being completely incompetent!
Carter: I guess because girls have always been treated this way.
Adriana: Because they've been told it so many times it gets stuck in their heads.
Lucy: Because girls have been shown that "acting like a girl" essentially just means 表演 like a little bitch.
Veto: Because they're sad. They are broken on the inside. This is there way of 展示 that they want help. Why is no one helping them? Poor girls. *sniffle*
Do 你 think it's mainly men who say "like a girl?"
Adriana: Yeah, basically.
Lucy: Pretty damn much.
Branson: Definitely! Why would girls want to insult themselves?
Veto: Men 或者 really manly women.
Carter: I don't want to speak on behalf of the entire male population, but yes.
What do 你 think that "like a girl" means?
Lucy: It means shit all. Girls can be just as masculine 或者 tough 或者 courageous 或者 powerful as guys can!
Veto: "Like a girl" means to be a wuss, basically. I'm sorry.
Carter: To be yourself.
Branson: It means kicking some real arse! *kicks at the screen*
Adriana: Well, I don't really know. It's like saying "like a person".
When do 你 think that using "like a girl" became an insult?
Veto: I feel like deep down it always was--Oh my god no, I'm sorry that's terrible. I don't know.
Branson: Being a girl has been cause for prejudice for years. It's nothing new, but that doesn't mean it can't become something old.
Carter: Women have always been viewed as the weaker sex, which is really unfair!
Adriana: Since that time when women couldn't get on sports teams.
Lucy: I think it's because guys just instantly assume we're weaker than them; but I swear, if 你 were to bring in some misogynistic asshole who thinks he's stronger than me, I'd beat his ass.
Do 你 think that "like a girl" should be used in this negative way?
Adriana: No, because it doesn't make sense.
Lucy: Of course not! "Like a girl" shouldn't be used, period!
Branson: Absolutely not! I can destroy most men in a fist-fight if I ever decide to! Being a girl has nothing to do with physical ability!
Carter: No way! Like the video said, let's turn it into a nice thing!
Veto: Nooo! It just hurts everyone's feelings. It should be a good thing, especially when someone says it to like a guy whos trying to be like a girl, y'know what I mean? Because then its like "oh thanks, I hope so". Like if someone were to say that to me, I'd be like oh yay, most of the time. This is completely off topic. I talk a lot, I'm sorry.
