Running like a girl is an everyday experience. Running like a girl happens on the road and off. Running like a girl invites us to engage with the world. Running like a girl means challenging our bodies and minds to be stronger and happier, and accessing our ageless girl-spirit, where the clean-slate optimism of “let’s go” meets the seasoned wisdom of “I can.”.
The campaign finds Greenfield on set and asking men, women, and boys to act out running, fighting, and hitting “like a girl.” The caricatured responses reinforce a stereotype that says girls are weaker and less determined than boys are. When Greenfield prompts young girls to demonstrate the same actions, reactions are breathtaking. Don’t let others decide that for you. Redefine “like a girl.” So what does it really mean to run like a girl? “It means run as fast as you can.”.
At the end of the P&G Always commercial, the last little girl was asked to describe what it means to run like a girl. Her answer? “To run as fast as you can.” When I hear “like a girl” I want to see a picture of a woman who is running the best she can, the hardest she can, using every ounce of her being, keeping her eye on the prize and her heart focused on finishing the race well. Let’s all run.
The #LikeAGirl social experiment recruited real women, men, boys and pre-pubescent girls and asked them to show what it physically meant to run like a girl, throw like a girl and do other similar actions. The results were incredible. What does “running like a girl” mean at Runner’s World?
Here are some links that should answer that question. “Running like a girl” means running strong, running with power, running fast. Women tend to be more flexible than men, which can be both a good and a bad thing for a runner. The extra flexibility is a result of a woman’s body structure and function — our hips. “Really the goal is to turn the phrase ‘like a girl’ from being an insult to being a real compliment and a boost to self-confidence.
We’re hoping we can really start a. Waving hands and flipping hair, the participants pretend to run “like a girl” and throw “like a girl.” Everyone—except, notably, the young girls—demonstrate that “just like a. And we really mean all of them.
No offense, but we highly doubt that everything you say is worth a laugh. That’s why our research indicates if a girl is constantly cracking up at even your worst jokes, she’s probably crushin’ on you pretty darn hard. Girls don’t usually waste time laughing at just anything.
List of related literature:
Many people believe that because running is something natural that everyone starts doing in childhood, the way you run must be a matter of personal style or preference.
Our hypothesis, to conclude, runs as follows: in girls, the process of individual socialization is synonymous with the sexualization of the body and its parts.
These runners were ashamed that I, as “just a girl,” could beat them, and therefore they strove harder (actually, some of them quit) to reclaim their manliness and valor—defined as superiority to women.
It is good for my mental development to be defeated by female runners: it teaches me to control my anger and it shows me something about the relation between the sexes.
from Ethics in Sport by William John Morgan Human Kinetics, 2007
(I use the word “running” loosely, which is pretty much the way I run.)
(I don’t run if I sense that I can’t do so with my normal gait—running in that compromised state will both exacerbate the current issue and set me up for compensatory problems elsewhere.)

a nice video ruined by triggered guys in the comments because everything just has to be about them they’re the reason videos like these are made; because they insult everything girls do. just leave us alone lmao
Thanks for this I’m 17 years old and Ive been a simp chasing girls. now Im gonna stick my one goal which has been beside me my whole life and that is the military. That is the only thing that will never leave me.
The phrase “Like a girl” shouldn’t be used in a degrading manner. Being a girl, a female, I am sometimes very much confused, afraid, that if I do a thing a particular way, I will be labelled as, either weak, or a tomboy, but I am none of them. I am not a tomboy, and I am not weak. I am still struggling between this “girly” way and “manly” way to find my way. Hopefully, I’ll find it someday. Hopefully, I won’t try to portray myself as someone who I am not. Hopefully, my physical strength, mental efficiency, my way to do things, one day won’t be judged by my gender. Hopefully, one day people won’t portray girls as weak.
This is such a beautiful video. I love how one of the girls said and I quote……”Yes I kick like a girl, and I swim like a girl, and I walk like a girl, and I wake up in the morning like a girl because I am a girl and that is something that I should not be ashamed of” I love that quote because it shows that there is no difference between any genders because yes boys kick like boys because they ARE boys and girls kick like girls because they ARE girls the only difference between boys and girls are their HOBBIES nothing else.
A man did stop his car once while I was walking my dog and said “Honey, you are so pretty!” It as so weird, I just said thank you. Then he said “You’re probably too young for me, though.” And I was just thinking “Then what are you doing?!” So awkward!
The video is completely missing the point. Nobody insults a girl saying she runs like a girl. The insult is meant to demasculine (?) men. If you’re not tough enough (like society thinks men have to be), then you’re soft – like a girl. THAT is the origin of the insult.
Its only insulting t guys because girls are feminine and it insults their masculinity. If you say to a girl that she looks like a guy, she would get offended because that’s thebopposite of feminine.
There are plenty of women athletes. Unfortunately most women are becoming obese. Sad that Always do nothing to combat the obesity crisis in young girls.
This song and “Clover Cage On My Mind” are the only two things keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better
Girls like guys who are independent and confident about themselves. I was always independent. girls ask me random stuff about checking out their legs, or if something’s stuck on their butt, and of course I’d compliment them but just continue minding my own business. I talk to girls easily. had a couple older classman girls ask me out to be their dates for school events, and etc. Guys, just be yourself. You don’t need the affections of others or approval of others. How I gain confidence is being myself. I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old, I used to play outside with the kids around the neighborhood and a cute Armenian girl would come over to the house asking for me and my relatives would tease me that I have a girlfriend just be yourself, don’t pretend to be something you’re not, and the girl will love you and appreciate you for who you are, not what you are

Whenever I hear something like “women should be able to walk down a street naked and have no one bother them men should be able to control themselves” statements (not relevant to what Cristin said) but everyone knows we don’t live in a perfect world and we have rapists and serial killers in every city so why do feminists say what we “should have” rather than what is actually the case? We will never live in a place where everyone is safe and can wear what they want without risk of something happening so why can’t feminists accept that?
No actually I would have asked why your boyfriend was out running after dark, or why he was running in the neighborhood he was in. Stupidity knows no gender.
I won many madal from my beginning of life and I am proud of myself because I am girl……… according to me who are not able respect to girl they are not a human being…even they are a idiots of own life…
Thank you always for being here because I get bullied for being a girl I get teased because I’m a girl and it happens to my friends to but I just can’t deal with it even tho the boys know I’m better then them I always win in a game boys vs girls and I have pinned them down ( don’t judge me I have a low tolerance) and even tho they know I’m better then them they still tease me. My friends are close to committing suicide because they get bullied, and thanks to Always for giving me the confidence to stand up to the boys and to encourage my friends to love themselves for being a girl I still get bullied but the boys that REALLY picked on me and were true bums lets just say they have a crush on me now Thank you Always for always being here for me
So true, last week i met a hot-hot girl. Invited her to a date, she looked excited about it, called her the night before the date and she said, lets meet a day after tomorrow. Told her no, then went on to do my own thing. She tried to play games on me.. Anyways, i was aware that my real purpose would have been to show off with this girl. Like look at me, ive been working hard, and now i get the finest girls. Wasnt that interested about her to be honest.
Holy shit I did not expect this. I actually thought this would be a topical video about running, with maybe some facts or references on how women run differently from men. Instead we get a full on opinion agenda video with a few quotes. Not that I disagree, this was a very neutral piece and I do think the biggest issue is that women aren’t proud of being women enough anymore. I just did not expect this.
Skills only depends on passion, hardwork, dedication and consistency. It does not depends on anyone’s gender. Dont do it like a girl or a boy do it like a human as best as you can.
This song and “Clover Cage On My Mind” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together….
I know someone who is a very good runner, she places in the top 5 in her age class consistently in marathons. Having 2 daughters myself, who are not the age for running marathons, however, I would hate to see their toils through the ‘what is now’ perception of a female athlete, should they take that route. I think it might be cool to have a running shirt that just says “Like a Girl” as an exclamation of self confidence and pride.
“When I set foot on a public sidewalk there is a very good chance that I am going to get honked at and yelled out….” Seriously…. this happens to everyone who runs, cycles, walks on the sidewalk. This doesn’t just happen to women. Why make it out like it is?
Wow, this was an interesting video. The reason the phrase “running like a girl” exists in the first place is because there is a typical running style that’s almost exclusive to girls. If there was a noticeably strange way almost only boys run, it would be called running like a boy. Also, the theory you’ve heard about women being better at very long distance running is interesting. Have you looked into different times people from the different genders have completed very long distance running?
I think you should be clearer that any inherent danger to a woman running alone at night doesn’t come from men in general, but from violent sociopaths who happen to be men. That’s a really important distinction. Seeing an attractive woman jogging alone in a secluded area does not automatically turn anyone with a penis into a sexual predator.

i don’t know if you’ve done a video on this or not but i’ve always been curious. How do women make milk? where does it come from, why do we need boobs to make it, why can’t we just have nipples and not the whole boob package, can we only lactate after giving birth?
Any time women come around me and break through the shields I setup I end up wasting so much time thinking which takes away from the world I’m manifesting
Great job One of the best youtube videos ever People’s lives especially fellows lives will not improve unless they accept girls as our equals with real thoughts and real feelings
I never got the saying “run like a girl”. Grade school boys use to say “you run like a girl”. I use to think that was the stupidest insult and tell them no shit I am a girl. -_I guess its a thing lol
Did you know that men and women are about 98% identical genetically? Why they consider us any different at all is a mystery to me. Really the only significant differences proven have been related to reproduction. If you take a look at the graphs of studies that have to do with gender differences, you’ll notice that there is only a slight offset in the experiments that have proven there to be a difference due to gender. This means that there is really no difference at all, until you get to the end of the bell curve where all of the “extremists” are anyway, and there will be a larger percentage of “extremists” in one gender or the other, due to the offset. Basically, people are diverse and complex, and grouping people by their gender instead of abilities only makes you look dumb.
I have a question: Is it more common for girls to have their first period on or very close to their birthday?
My first period happened the day before my birthday and I thought I was so unlucky. However, after talking to my friends, I learned that my birthday period wasn’t as uncommon as I assumed it was.
I already know that girls can and many girls do have their first periods nowhere near their birthdays, but I’m having trouble finding any more information than that.
This ad just gave me a slap on the face… kind of waken me up to see how LUCKY I am to be a GIRL.:-) great vid of all time! This gives more confidence to FEMALE. The counterpart of MALE. Thumbs up! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Such a good video! I especially liked the last bit at the end, that symbolically, we’ve been running this whole time. Great job Cristen! I now need a shirt that says “I run like a girl.” Also, have you seen that always commercial, where they bring in a sample of women, girls and boys and ask them to run like a girl? Its similar to what you discussed today.
Comercial maravilhosamente ilustrativo e semântico. Ouvia isso quando era criança e não entendia o porquê usavam tal frase como ofensa. Quando cresci, descobri os nomes para isso: machismo, sexismo e ignorância pura. Eu era uma criança e achava anormal essa construção social tóxica e ofensiva, agora, sendo adulta, não aceito me dizerem isso e, um dia, quando tiver um filho ou uma filha, vou ensiná-los como não ofender ou se deixar ser ofendido por esse tipo de frase que só saí de pessoas emocional e psicologicamente limitadas. Parabéns Always, ótimo comercial.
In my mind run like a girl means slow, look at sports world records in what sports do females beat males?? seriously I am not aware of that sport if you have information on that please share it. Sure walking in a street and getting cat calls, is not the best experience but the reason is this, the reason is that females in that situation are weaker than males do you think a male would insult a Olympic weightlifting champion female?? no because he would get his teeth broken. Please remember this weak(I am not only talking about physical strength) males get bullied as well a lot
I’ve come to find out that the guys who tell us to focus on ourselves are the ones who have no problem getting women. I wonder if they would say the same thing if they were one of those guys who women dont want. Cause when we cut down to the truth, every heterosexual guy wants attention from women. And when you dont get female attention, you cant help but feel undesirable or that something is wrong with you. People just love speaking from a standpoint of never being in an unfavorable position and think that just cause they can do it, so can anyone else. Lacking the introspective that the reason why women show those particular men attention is because they’re good looking.
The creepiest thing happened to me once. I was walking late from school it was winter, so if anyone cares; my thick jacket made me look like a human marshmallow and this man was following me so I began to freak out because I didn’t have a phone at that age and the street was deserted.
Then this other random guy walked out of an apartment building and I asked him if we could pretend to know each other. The guy said ‘ok’, but by the time he did the stalked was sprinting in the other direction.:S
I’ve never focused on women all my life. Sure, I had a crush here and there, but they died out quickly. I just focused on my athletics and improving my physical and mental strength all throughout high school. I knew teammates that had girlfriends that weren’t on the varsity team. After being a 3 year varsity team for both football and wrestling, I knew I made the right choice by not having a girlfriend. Now, girls want to talk to me about life and asking my advice.
You mention ways to take precautions and stay safe for women running in dangerous locations.. which is smart as a precaution for anyone running at night (just more so women it seems, statistically), but when someone says that about rape, that women should try to take some precautions to protect themselves, they get shittt for it.. I don’t know if Cristen is against arming women with how to take precautions or not.. probably not.. I feel like it would get crammed into the “blaming the victim” card, but no I also think it’s still the rapists fault.. they’re the one who did the raping obviously lol, but is is smart to take precautions. That includes men.
@FarFromAverage Wassup I like your videos and I really like your content but I’m 18 years old and I’m really confused.I don’t know weather I should try to get good with girls or not because I’m not use to getting them I’m not that all the way confident in approaching them but on one hand some is telling me to stop chasing them and then on another hand I’m thinking to myself that if I stop chasing women then I will never get good so I become stagnant and confused and I don’t know how to handle it.
Back in day I was a hard core runner I was taking part in a 5 K charity fun run. I was surprised to see a higher than normal contingent of women runners. I asked a female bud “why”? She said most were there to run with 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson & they wanted to beat her. I asked if my friend had seen Ms. Benoit & she pointed out a group nearby. I asked which one was Samuelson. She gestured “that one”. Still clueless I asked “next to the chubby one?” I got a head smack & was told that was Joan. & that she was 5 months pregnant. I might note pregnant or not Ms. Benoit still outpaced me! Run like a girl indeed!!! As to the other points you made…sigh…sad comment on US culture!
I’m not sure what this video was trying to say? So what if you run like a girl, most of the pressures and sterotypes are perpetuated by women. Who do you think tells girls that they should not out run the boys if they can? Other girls! they just frame it as “helpful advice” to help them from being social outcasts. It’s a shame that I only have a limited amount of space to comment because I could talk about this for hours. All I’m saying that you can’t blame men for everything. I’m just sayin’
Chasing women had made to forget to solve my past problems which occur everyday in my future life. When we are with a beautiful women during our life journey, it actually feels good. But in most of our life when a problem jumps infront of us. It’s we who are alone during our journey. At that moment its our inner skill and hobby that accompany us always when we are driving towards our goals.
NO…the terms is “throw like a girl” And this was pointed out in The Adventiures of Huckelberry Finn when he tries to pass himself off as a girl. Actually due to women’s wider pelvises they can never have as straight a leg as a man which is why there is no such thing as a competition race including both sexes. BUT, it still doesn’t explain why GOLF is still sexually separated = you’re playing against the course, not each other.
I practice aikido, and I throw like a girl. Just ask the guy I threw to the ground! In grade school my best sport was track. I will always run like a girl, and with the same pride that I have when I throw!
I haven’t even watched the video but i can already say its an immediate put down. Being someone who has been told they run like a girl, i know its just nice. U have to think about what your implying, you are in fact implying i am less than you i cannot do as good as you i therefore cannot be as good as you. Watch your words people
Hi Cristen. I have just been wondering this: Why do girls (of all ages) usually have diaries or journals at one point or the other, but boys do not? Is it just the whole ‘manly men don’t keep diaries’ thing, or is it something more?
i dont really feel that i learned any thing one this video, however, the precautions for women going running should be extended to most situations and people.

Seriously? Why the heck are people like “unsubbing ngehngehngeh,” ok then…on simple video you disagreed with…3-4 minutes gone but those minutes were saying to stop labeling… To bad. Its just one video. If you’re a feminist… You think genders are equal not one is better. So I say good bye to you unsubers(if that’s a word…) So long humans
Well, If you find phrase “run like a girl” insulting, first of all stop creating a girl-only disciplines. Compete with Usain Bolt, not some “running girls”:/
Like Tia. Like Thuri & Alethea. Like Annie T. and Annie S. Like Sam, Sara, Katrin. Like Carli, Alex, Megan, Tobin, Julie. Like Pema. Like Mom, Judy and Maureen. These women are not just highly actualized human beings. They are great and inspiring leaders.
What if we changed the saying “run like a girl” to “run as a girl’? That’s what I identify as and because of the negative connotations to “like a girl”, make it more definitive. I’m running as girl because that who I am and I’m proud to be.
I dance “like a girl”, I throw “like a girl”, and I sure as heck run “like a girl” but you know what? That has never gotten in my way. It never gets in my mom’s way either. How you run doesn’t matter. What matters is the effort you put into it, how much heart ya got, and your determination. I wish more people saw that. Thank you for a /very/ inspiring video Cristen. I appreciate it more than you know.
I especially love how a group of people feel that their misjudged and judged according to them as a group because of individuals, fringe individuals. And isn’t it this group themselves that is a fringe and should not represent the group? But then again what would hyper-vigilance be without people exercising their inflated opinion of something
a nice video ruined by triggered guys in the comments because everything just has to be about them they’re the reason videos like these are made; because they insult everything girls do. just leave us alone lmao
rubbish.
we chase girls for pussy, not for making ourselves look good, that’s dumb.
does a stallion chase a mare to make himself look good? of course not! HORMONES
Thanks for this I’m 17 years old and Ive been a simp chasing girls. now Im gonna stick my one goal which has been beside me my whole life and that is the military. That is the only thing that will never leave me.
The phrase “Like a girl” shouldn’t be used in a degrading manner. Being a girl, a female, I am sometimes very much confused, afraid, that if I do a thing a particular way, I will be labelled as, either weak, or a tomboy, but I am none of them. I am not a tomboy, and I am not weak. I am still struggling between this “girly” way and “manly” way to find my way. Hopefully, I’ll find it someday.
Hopefully, I won’t try to portray myself as someone who I am not. Hopefully, my physical strength, mental efficiency, my way to do things, one day won’t be judged by my gender. Hopefully, one day people won’t portray girls as weak.
I don’t have to continue watching your video.. I just want to answer you..
Why u stop chasing girls?
Because u like chasing man now.. haha gay af
If anyone ever tells you……”HA, you kick “like a girl” you just reply…..”Yeah I kick like a girl and I’m proud of it” Sheyla Sepulveda
This is such a beautiful video. I love how one of the girls said and I quote……”Yes I kick like a girl, and I swim like a girl, and I walk like a girl, and I wake up in the morning like a girl because I am a girl and that is something that I should not be ashamed of” I love that quote because it shows that there is no difference between any genders because yes boys kick like boys because they ARE boys and girls kick like girls because they ARE girls the only difference between boys and girls are their HOBBIES nothing else.
A man did stop his car once while I was walking my dog and said “Honey, you are so pretty!” It as so weird, I just said thank you. Then he said “You’re probably too young for me, though.” And I was just thinking “Then what are you doing?!” So awkward!
The video is completely missing the point. Nobody insults a girl saying she runs like a girl. The insult is meant to demasculine (?) men.
If you’re not tough enough (like society thinks men have to be), then you’re soft – like a girl. THAT is the origin of the insult.
Its only insulting t guys because girls are feminine and it insults their masculinity. If you say to a girl that she looks like a guy, she would get offended because that’s thebopposite of feminine.
This is great ad. In the other hand, P&G destroyed 30% of their market share with that stupid Gillette ad. It’s so much different.
There are plenty of women athletes.
Unfortunately most women are becoming obese.
Sad that Always do nothing to combat the obesity crisis in young girls.
I’m noticing a strange lack of negative comments from people who have issues with anything remotely related to feminism.
This is very odd.
Focus on your purpose guys till you find a good woman marry her. stay away from sex out of wedlock (diseases)
Or end up having babies out of wedlock.
“You run like a girl”
“I know because I am one”
“I know, that’s what I meant, you are a girl and you’re running”
“dang bro that’s deep”
This song and “Clover Cage On My Mind” are the only two things keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better
Girls like guys who are independent and confident about themselves. I was always independent. girls ask me random stuff about checking out their legs, or if something’s stuck on their butt, and of course I’d compliment them but just continue minding my own business. I talk to girls easily. had a couple older classman girls ask me out to be their dates for school events, and etc. Guys, just be yourself. You don’t need the affections of others or approval of others. How I gain confidence is being myself. I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old, I used to play outside with the kids around the neighborhood and a cute Armenian girl would come over to the house asking for me and my relatives would tease me that I have a girlfriend just be yourself, don’t pretend to be something you’re not, and the girl will love you and appreciate you for who you are, not what you are

Whenever I hear something like “women should be able to walk down a street naked and have no one bother them men should be able to control themselves” statements (not relevant to what Cristin said) but everyone knows we don’t live in a perfect world and we have rapists and serial killers in every city so why do feminists say what we “should have” rather than what is actually the case? We will never live in a place where everyone is safe and can wear what they want without risk of something happening so why can’t feminists accept that?
No actually I would have asked why your boyfriend was out running after dark, or why he was running in the neighborhood he was in. Stupidity knows no gender.
I won many madal from my beginning of life and I am proud of myself because I am girl……… according to me who are not able respect to girl they are not a human being…even they are a idiots of own life…
Thank you always for being here because I get bullied for being a girl I get teased because I’m a girl and it happens to my friends to but I just can’t deal with it even tho the boys know I’m better then them I always win in a game boys vs girls and I have pinned them down ( don’t judge me I have a low tolerance) and even tho they know I’m better then them they still tease me. My friends are close to committing suicide because they get bullied, and thanks to Always for giving me the confidence to stand up to the boys and to encourage my friends to love themselves for being a girl I still get bullied but the boys that REALLY picked on me and were true bums lets just say they have a crush on me now Thank you Always for always being here for me
So true, last week i met a hot-hot girl. Invited her to a date, she looked excited about it, called her the night before the date and she said, lets meet a day after tomorrow. Told her no, then went on to do my own thing. She tried to play games on me.. Anyways, i was aware that my real purpose would have been to show off with this girl. Like look at me, ive been working hard, and now i get the finest girls. Wasnt that interested about her to be honest.
Toxic Sexiest Feminine Supremacists….
Why do you hate men (not all men are like that btw) & why must you use offensive hate speech towards men???
Holy shit I did not expect this. I actually thought this would be a topical video about running, with maybe some facts or references on how women run differently from men. Instead we get a full on opinion agenda video with a few quotes. Not that I disagree, this was a very neutral piece and I do think the biggest issue is that women aren’t proud of being women enough anymore. I just did not expect this.
Skills only depends on passion, hardwork, dedication and consistency. It does not depends on anyone’s gender.
Dont do it like a girl or a boy do it like a human as best as you can.
I used to chase girls too, now I’ve got a restraining order… I thought they liked the chase and being swept off their feet! How wrong I was.
This song and “Clover Cage On My Mind” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together….
See look,
Don’t mind me but what I think is that girls are getting more attention than boys in this time
edit: atleast where i live, India in like school and stuff
I know someone who is a very good runner, she places in the top 5 in her age class consistently in marathons. Having 2 daughters myself, who are not the age for running marathons, however, I would hate to see their toils through the ‘what is now’ perception of a female athlete, should they take that route. I think it might be cool to have a running shirt that just says “Like a Girl” as an exclamation of self confidence and pride.
I noticed how women have to think differently while running or jogging, especially at night. Men don’t have to the the same precautions.
“When I set foot on a public sidewalk there is a very good chance that I am going to get honked at and yelled out….”
Seriously…. this happens to everyone who runs, cycles, walks on the sidewalk. This doesn’t just happen to women. Why make it out like it is?
Wow, this was an interesting video. The reason the phrase “running like a girl” exists in the first place is because there is a typical running style that’s almost exclusive to girls. If there was a noticeably strange way almost only boys run, it would be called running like a boy. Also, the theory you’ve heard about women being better at very long distance running is interesting. Have you looked into different times people from the different genders have completed very long distance running?
I think you should be clearer that any inherent danger to a woman running alone at night doesn’t come from men in general, but from violent sociopaths who happen to be men. That’s a really important distinction. Seeing an attractive woman jogging alone in a secluded area does not automatically turn anyone with a penis into a sexual predator.

i don’t know if you’ve done a video on this or not but i’ve always been curious. How do women make milk? where does it come from, why do we need boobs to make it, why can’t we just have nipples and not the whole boob package, can we only lactate after giving birth?
Any time women come around me and break through the shields I setup I end up wasting so much time thinking which takes away from the world I’m manifesting
Great job
One of the best youtube videos ever
People’s lives especially fellows lives will not improve unless they accept girls as our equals with real thoughts and real feelings
And when someone’s rude enough to tell me a woman’s place is in the kitchen, i just tell them to get their ass the f*ck out of my kitchen, right now..
I never got the saying “run like a girl”. Grade school boys use to say “you run like a girl”. I use to think that was the stupidest insult and tell them no shit I am a girl. -_I guess its a thing lol
Did you know that men and women are about 98% identical genetically? Why they consider us any different at all is a mystery to me. Really the only significant differences proven have been related to reproduction. If you take a look at the graphs of studies that have to do with gender differences, you’ll notice that there is only a slight offset in the experiments that have proven there to be a difference due to gender. This means that there is really no difference at all, until you get to the end of the bell curve where all of the “extremists” are anyway, and there will be a larger percentage of “extremists” in one gender or the other, due to the offset. Basically, people are diverse and complex, and grouping people by their gender instead of abilities only makes you look dumb.
As a female everyone should remember that males are biologically more fit than women. Their bodies are able to build muscle and burn fat faster.
Very empowering, and I appreciate the serious tone on this video, which is more suited than the typical wackiness (though I enjoy that as well!).
I believe that female empowerment and respect is great for both genders because feminine males have it just about as bad as females, I’ve noticed.
I have a question: Is it more common for girls to have their first period on or very close to their birthday?
My first period happened the day before my birthday and I thought I was so unlucky. However, after talking to my friends, I learned that my birthday period wasn’t as uncommon as I assumed it was.
I already know that girls can and many girls do have their first periods nowhere near their birthdays, but I’m having trouble finding any more information than that.
This ad just gave me a slap on the face… kind of waken me up to see how LUCKY I am to be a GIRL.:-) great vid of all time! This gives more confidence to FEMALE. The counterpart of MALE. Thumbs up! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Or hearing boys telling other boy they run like a girl. As if there is something wrong with running (or doing any activity) like a girl.
Such a good video! I especially liked the last bit at the end, that symbolically, we’ve been running this whole time. Great job Cristen! I now need a shirt that says “I run like a girl.” Also, have you seen that always commercial, where they bring in a sample of women, girls and boys and ask them to run like a girl? Its similar to what you discussed today.
Great song. Time flies by in the Yellow & Green. Theirs a mountain top that I’m dreaming of….Don’t look back…. Love this song <3
Comercial maravilhosamente ilustrativo e semântico. Ouvia isso quando era criança e não entendia o porquê usavam tal frase como ofensa. Quando cresci, descobri os nomes para isso: machismo, sexismo e ignorância pura. Eu era uma criança e achava anormal essa construção social tóxica e ofensiva, agora, sendo adulta, não aceito me dizerem isso e, um dia, quando tiver um filho ou uma filha, vou ensiná-los como não ofender ou se deixar ser ofendido por esse tipo de frase que só saí de pessoas emocional e psicologicamente limitadas. Parabéns Always, ótimo comercial.
In my mind run like a girl means slow, look at sports world records in what sports do females beat males?? seriously I am not aware of that sport if you have information on that please share it.
Sure walking in a street and getting cat calls, is not the best experience but the reason is this, the reason is that females in that situation are weaker than males do you think a male would insult a Olympic weightlifting champion female?? no because he would get his teeth broken. Please remember this weak(I am not only talking about physical strength) males get bullied as well a lot
I’ve come to find out that the guys who tell us to focus on ourselves are the ones who have no problem getting women. I wonder if they would say the same thing if they were one of those guys who women dont want. Cause when we cut down to the truth, every heterosexual guy wants attention from women. And when you dont get female attention, you cant help but feel undesirable or that something is wrong with you. People just love speaking from a standpoint of never being in an unfavorable position and think that just cause they can do it, so can anyone else. Lacking the introspective that the reason why women show those particular men attention is because they’re good looking.
The creepiest thing happened to me once. I was walking late from school it was winter, so if anyone cares; my thick jacket made me look like a human marshmallow and this man was following me so I began to freak out because I didn’t have a phone at that age and the street was deserted.
Then this other random guy walked out of an apartment building and I asked him if we could pretend to know each other. The guy said ‘ok’, but by the time he did the stalked was sprinting in the other direction.:S
I’ve never focused on women all my life. Sure, I had a crush here and there, but they died out quickly. I just focused on my athletics and improving my physical and mental strength all throughout high school. I knew teammates that had girlfriends that weren’t on the varsity team. After being a 3 year varsity team for both football and wrestling, I knew I made the right choice by not having a girlfriend. Now, girls want to talk to me about life and asking my advice.
You mention ways to take precautions and stay safe for women running in dangerous locations.. which is smart as a precaution for anyone running at night (just more so women it seems, statistically), but when someone says that about rape, that women should try to take some precautions to protect themselves, they get shittt for it.. I don’t know if Cristen is against arming women with how to take precautions or not.. probably not.. I feel like it would get crammed into the “blaming the victim” card, but no I also think it’s still the rapists fault.. they’re the one who did the raping obviously lol, but is is smart to take precautions. That includes men.
@FarFromAverage Wassup I like your videos and I really like your content but I’m 18 years old and I’m really confused.I don’t know weather I should try to get good with girls or not because I’m not use to getting them I’m not that all the way confident in approaching them but on one hand some is telling me to stop chasing them and then on another hand I’m thinking to myself that if I stop chasing women then I will never get good so I become stagnant and confused and I don’t know how to handle it.
Back in day I was a hard core runner I was taking part in a 5 K charity fun run. I was surprised to see a higher than normal contingent of women runners. I asked a female bud “why”? She said most were there to run with 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson & they wanted to beat her. I asked if my friend had seen Ms. Benoit & she pointed out a group nearby. I asked which one was Samuelson. She gestured “that one”. Still clueless I asked “next to the chubby one?” I got a head smack & was told that was Joan. & that she was 5 months pregnant. I might note pregnant or not Ms. Benoit still outpaced me! Run like a girl indeed!!! As to the other points you made…sigh…sad comment on US culture!
I’m not sure what this video was trying to say? So what if you run like a girl, most of the pressures and sterotypes are perpetuated by women. Who do you think tells girls that they should not out run the boys if they can? Other girls! they just frame it as “helpful advice” to help them from being social outcasts. It’s a shame that I only have a limited amount of space to comment because I could talk about this for hours. All I’m saying that you can’t blame men for everything. I’m just sayin’
Chasing women had made to forget to solve my past problems which occur everyday in my future life. When we are with a beautiful women during our life journey, it actually feels good. But in most of our life when a problem jumps infront of us. It’s we who are alone during our journey. At that moment its our inner skill and hobby that accompany us always when we are driving towards our goals.
NO…the terms is “throw like a girl” And this was pointed out in The Adventiures of Huckelberry Finn when he tries to pass himself off as a girl. Actually due to women’s wider pelvises they can never have as straight a leg as a man which is why there is no such thing as a competition race including both sexes. BUT, it still doesn’t explain why GOLF is still sexually separated = you’re playing against the course, not each other.
I practice aikido, and I throw like a girl. Just ask the guy I threw to the ground! In grade school my best sport was track. I will always run like a girl, and with the same pride that I have when I throw!
I haven’t even watched the video but i can already say its an immediate put down. Being someone who has been told they run like a girl, i know its just nice. U have to think about what your implying, you are in fact implying i am less than you i cannot do as good as you i therefore cannot be as good as you. Watch your words people
Hi Cristen. I have just been wondering this: Why do girls (of all ages) usually have diaries or journals at one point or the other, but boys do not? Is it just the whole ‘manly men don’t keep diaries’ thing, or is it something more?
i dont really feel that i learned any thing one this video, however, the precautions for women going running should be extended to most situations and people.

Life will teach you. Man. I wish I could tell you this in person but the time I stopped chasing girls was EXACTLY the moment they began flocking towards me. Its like this reverse law that when you don’t focus on something or care too much about ir, it just fucking comes too you. But when you try REALLY REALLY hard to MAKE it happen. Guess what? It fucking shatters to shit. Honestly, you may just say I’m “bad” with girls (which maybe I was) but now that I don’t give a FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girls WANT to talk to me. You need to be in that position where you literally don’t give a fuck, and also, try to be aware of her and what she might be going through. This elevates your fucking respect too a WHOLE other level because this way you are preparing and ANTICIPATING her needs in the moment. Because chances are, she may not want to be approached. But regardless, pay attention the sutble cues. Women are ALWAYS communicating and most of the time. It’s subconscious. So in short. Medititate. Be aware. And don’t try so hard. (Be NATURAL) and you WILL be attractive. ✌❤
Men and women are not same. They should be treated equally but there are both biological and physical differences between men and women.
Seriously? Why the heck are people like “unsubbing ngehngehngeh,” ok then…on simple video you disagreed with…3-4 minutes gone but those minutes were saying to stop labeling… To bad. Its just one video. If you’re a feminist… You think genders are equal not one is better. So I say good bye to you unsubers(if that’s a word…) So long humans
Well, If you find phrase “run like a girl” insulting, first of all stop creating a girl-only disciplines. Compete with Usain Bolt, not some “running girls”:/
Like Tia. Like Thuri & Alethea. Like Annie T. and Annie S. Like Sam, Sara, Katrin. Like Carli, Alex, Megan, Tobin, Julie. Like Pema. Like Mom, Judy and Maureen. These women are not just highly actualized human beings. They are great and inspiring leaders.
What if we changed the saying “run like a girl” to “run as a girl’? That’s what I identify as and because of the negative connotations to “like a girl”, make it more definitive. I’m running as girl because that who I am and I’m proud to be.
I dance “like a girl”, I throw “like a girl”, and I sure as heck run “like a girl” but you know what? That has never gotten in my way. It never gets in my mom’s way either. How you run doesn’t matter. What matters is the effort you put into it, how much heart ya got, and your determination. I wish more people saw that.
Thank you for a /very/ inspiring video Cristen. I appreciate it more than you know.
I especially love how a group of people feel that their misjudged and judged according to them as a group because of individuals, fringe individuals. And isn’t it this group themselves that is a fringe and should not represent the group? But then again what would hyper-vigilance be without people exercising their inflated opinion of something
