Denver Tweets #LikeAGirl, And That's A Good Thing
DENVER (CBS4) - Sunday night's Super Bowl XLIX had a plethora of emotional commercials. I might even say they were exhausting. But some were empowering.
Thanks to one super bowl commercial by Always, the hashtag #LikeAGirl is trending across social media, including Denver. The campaign finally asked the question all women have wondered since they could speak. Why is it a bad thing to -- fill in the blank -- like a girl? Run like a girl, hit like a girl, bike like a girl -- why is that an insult? And how can we change that.
With a Twitter campaign of course! It tops both the Denver top ten trends, as well as the 'Everywhere' top ten trends. And the tweets are spectacular.
Here are some of the best #LikeAGirl posts from the Twitter world:
ANY boys would be lucky to do half the stuff my daughters do half as well as they do it. #LikeAGirl
