Always's #LikeAGirl Campaign Reveals a Big Problem With Emojis

Remember the "throw like a girl" video from Always that went viral a few years ago? Well, the company is back at it with another empowering #LikeAGirl video. This time young women talk about their frustration with female emojis—most of them are pink, few are doing work (and that's only if you count the dancer), and none are breaking a sweat.

The girls in the video come up with great suggestions for new female emojis, including wrestlers, soccer players, weight lifters, cops, lawyers, and "a super-badass girl." Emojis may be something most of us don't think twice about, but this ad serves as a reminder that they can reinforce harmful stereotypes.
