This Girl Can Video

This Girl Can

In this video, women are being represented as equal. The video is trying to get across to all women that it's okay to love who you are. As most women today are sexualised as really skinny and physically fit, women begin to think that this is what is attractive and this is what they need to look like. Therefore, feel self-conscious and not happy with their bodies. This video is trying to show women that it's okay to look how they are and is trying to get more women into sport. It shows that just because you may not be physically fit or very skinny, that you are allowed to do sports and enjoy yourself.              

This scene in the video supports my point as it is aiming to 'bigger' women that even if they 'jiggle' they are more than capable of doing what much more skinnier and physically fit women can do. 
The video is showing everyday women that you would see in day  to day life what they are capable of. They are shown wearing what a normal woman would wear to the gym. Unlike the model women which wear much more fashionable and stylish gym clothes, which is used to sexualise and sell a product. These woman aren't being objectified to try and sell something for a business. They are trying to prove a much more important point, which is that all women are equal and all women are attractive in their own way.



This scene in the video is representing sexism in todays society. In todays society people tend to think that football is a mans sport and that women can't play this sport. However, if a woman wants to be involved in football and enjoys playing it, then why shouldn't they be allowed.
