1 00:00:05,419 --> 00:00:12,380 Hi Erin. Hi. Okay so I'm going to just give you some actions to do and just do the first thing 2 00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:27,039 that comes to mind. Show me what it looks like to run like a girl. Show me what it looks like 3 00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:46,070 to fight like a girl. Now throw like a girl. My name is Dakota and I'm 10 years old. Show me what 4 00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:52,530 What does it look like to run like a girl? 5 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,530 Throw like a girl. 6 00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:58,229 Fight like a girl. 7 00:00:58,229 --> 00:01:01,229 What does it mean to you when I say run like a girl? 8 00:01:01,229 --> 00:01:06,989 It means run as best as you can. 9 00:01:06,989 --> 00:01:09,989 So do you think you just insulted your sister? 10 00:01:09,989 --> 00:01:14,989 No. I mean, yeah, insulted girls, but not my sister. 11 00:01:14,989 --> 00:01:16,989 Is like a girl a good thing? 12 00:01:16,989 --> 00:01:20,989 I actually don't know what it really, if it's a bad thing or a good thing. 13 00:01:20,989 --> 00:01:24,209 Sounds like a bad thing. Sounds like you're trying to humiliate someone. 14 00:01:25,189 --> 00:01:30,069 So when they're in that vulnerable time, between 10 and 12, 15 00:01:30,189 --> 00:01:34,390 how do you think it affects them when somebody uses like a girl as an insult? 16 00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:39,829 I think it definitely drops their self-confidence and really puts them down 17 00:01:39,829 --> 00:01:43,670 because during that time they're already trying to figure themselves out. 18 00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:49,909 And when somebody says you hit like a girl, it's like, well, what does that mean? 19 00:01:49,909 --> 00:01:52,689 because they think they're a strong person. 20 00:01:53,189 --> 00:01:56,590 It's kind of like telling them that they're weak and they're not as good as them. 21 00:01:57,409 --> 00:02:02,890 And what advice do you have to young girls who are told they run like a girl, 22 00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:05,189 kick like a girl, hit like a girl, swing like a girl? 23 00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:07,709 Keep doing it because it's working. 24 00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:11,830 If somebody else says that running like a girl or kicking like a girl 25 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:15,729 or shooting like a girl is something that you shouldn't be doing, that's their problem 26 00:02:15,729 --> 00:02:19,050 because if you're still scoring and you're still getting to the ball on time 27 00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:22,270 and you're still being first, you're doing it right. 28 00:02:22,449 --> 00:02:23,370 It doesn't matter what they say. 29 00:02:23,689 --> 00:02:27,110 I mean, yes, I kick like a girl and I swim like a girl 30 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:29,669 and I walk like a girl and I wake up in the morning like a girl 31 00:02:29,669 --> 00:02:30,530 because I am a girl. 32 00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:34,069 And that's not something that I should be ashamed of. 33 00:02:34,349 --> 00:02:35,270 So I'm going to do it anyway. 34 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:36,810 That's what they should do. 35 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:41,669 If I asked you to run like a girl now, would you do it differently? 36 00:02:42,009 --> 00:02:43,189 I would run like myself. 37 00:02:44,590 --> 00:02:46,150 Would you like a chance to redo it? 38 00:02:46,150 --> 00:03:01,259 Why can't run like a girl also mean win the race?
