I saw a photo of the Nike Marathon finish banner with "ran like a girl" displayed right under the word 'Finish'. I got a little teary seeing that. But, then again, I got a little teary seeing a photo of the guys in tuxes giving out Tiffany boxes.I want to run this next year. Even though I have to fund raise. And, I'm a great humanitarian and all that - but I hate to fund raise.Congratulations again! I actually love the “___like a girl” tagline.

In my house, full of boys, "like a girl" is often the insult. I usually let it roll off and just ignore it. Sometimes, I say something to the effect that "and doing something 'like a girl' is supposed to be bad?!" Thanks to Humblyanne for enlighteing me too.Now, I have to catch up on my posts (no internet access). It was great meeting you and hanging out for a bit with you.

It's a (kind of) feminist reclaiming of the phrase "you throw like a girl" which is generally a schoolyard insult, but is being used in this contex as a source of pride: you throw like a girl - lucky you. So it's kind of cool, but also being implemented by a major corporation, which actually doesn't care what you run like, as long as you do it in Nike shoes; so that kind of trivializes the whole deal.

Bizarre marketing, though, sounds like they were slogans thought up by male marketing execs. Good luck!!!!
