YouTuber Lilly Singh Launches Campaign to End Girl-On-Girl Hate, and We Love It
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most women can tell you a story about girl-on-girl hate. We can tell you about calling other girls "sluts" in high school. We can tell you about policing other women's bodies to mask our own insecurities. We can tell you about hating other women simply because of rumors and gossip.
We know girl-on-girl hate. Why do you think Mean Girls was so damn relateable?
But Lilly Singh, YouTube's "SuperWoman" is here to put a stop to the girl hate, and to replace it with a stream of love, compliments, and positivity.
In her most recent video, Singh and several fellow female YouTubers officially launched what's called the #GirlLove Challenge. It is their hope that by making a conscious effort to stop seeing other women as competition or sources of jealously, we can begin to see each other for what we really are: amazing, powerful, badass humans.
And if that wasn't awesome enough, Singh has also promised that every single dollar made from the video will be donated to the Malala Fund, which helps provide opportunities for women and girls all over the world to go to school and get the education they so deserve.
To participate, all you have to do is use the hashtag #GirlLove on social media, with a positive and complimentary post about your favorite ladies.
Well, that, and watch/share the video a few dozen times. Gotta get those views and send some girls to school.
