These viral videos are getting everyone talking about Domestic Violence and Feminism! People love it and people hate it! How do you feel about little girls being the messengers of this content? Yes the videos may not be as tasteful as most commercials are regarding violence and equality against women, but the point is to get you talking and I think it's working!!! The director behind these videos is intentionally trying to raise awareness on physical abuse. His goal was to make you see that every victim is someone's little girl, someone's princess and this is what happens when a man hurts her.
The campaign was created for a non-profit advocacy organization promoting sexual, racial and gender equity through the sale of clothing. All the proceeds for the F-Bomb tee shirts are all going to women and men who are victims of violence. These little girls are paid actors whose mother's are very proud that their child's voice is being heard for such great cause.
One of the mother's Luke Montgomery stated "The whole idea was using a bad word for a good cause to get people's attention," explained Montgomery. "A lot of people are focusing on that we use the 'F' word in this video… The reason we did use the 'F' word is because we want people to focus on statistics like one out of five women will be raped or sexually assaulted in their lifetime, or the fact that women and men doing the exact same job, the woman gets paid 23 percent less than men. In 2014, that's what's shocking, not the 'F' word."
You have to admit that this was a good idea because it immediately caught your attention. No we may not like them, but at least people are speaking up and demanding that we will not take this anymore! We will no longer tolerate Domestic Violence!
