Offensive?

...certainly thought provoking.

...the points are valid but the issues are adult ones and involving the young girls is exploiting the very people it is aimed at protecting.

An appallingly bad call by the adults behind it and the parents of the girls.

What do you think?

Lol. That's about it, lol

Stupid feminist.

Just because you think you can do everything that the other sex can doesn't mean you can. Women are better are some things and guys are better at other things. Sure there are a handful of cases where people cross the lines but for the most part it doesn't really happen.

Wow, I'm offended by so many things in that vid that I don't know where to start.

I'm offended everytime I hear a female child refered to as a 'princess' (and likewise with boys being called 'emperor') because soon enough those kids grow up believing they're special and different from everyone else, when they're not... you only have to take a look at some of the spoilt ungrateful brats with their entitlement-attitude, appearing on tv shows such as 'my sweet 16' to see the little princess/emperor syndrome in action for yourself.

I'm offended and sickened everytime an adult manipulates and uses a child for their own political agenda - whether it's a creepy politician kissing a baby, adults forcing their kids to carry placards and banners at demonstrations and marches when the child has no idea what the issues are, and certainly couldn't articulate them if questioned, and in cases like the vid where the child is made to repeat soundbytes on behalf of their parents and scriptwriters - with no understanding at all of the deeper bigger-picture issues.

I'm offended by the wild over-gesticulation of the kids in the vid (it's bad enough seeing that in adults) simply because, in terms of body-language , it's a very, very aggressive way to communicate, not to mention it makes the person doing it look like a ridiculous cartoon figure who isn't able to speak a full sentence without waving their hands in the air or wagging their finger in your face.

I'm offended that the vid blames a lot of problems and issues on 'society,' without going into the issues on any meaningful level. It's part of a bigger trend where people are encouraged to absolve themselves of self-responsibility for their actions/inactions and then encouraged to blame everyone else for their woes.

I'm offended by the sheer amount of mixed, and frankly, pretty fucked-up messages in the vid. Children have no place in adult debate - especially when the debate is horseshit to begin with. FCKH8/Synergy is just another marketing company portraying feminism as a bunch of needy, demanding women who want and should get everything they want. We're led to believe, thanks to mass media and the viewing public rarely questioning anything, that feminism is all about women doing the same things as men, when in fact it's about equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. Women don't want to do all the things that men do, but they would like the opportunity to at least try if they so wish. The vid's message is that women want everything, and if you don't agree with the message then you're obviously evil.

Let's not forget that this whole campaign/FCKH8 crap isn't to make women's lives better at all, it's just another clothing company with a glossy advert designed to get people talking and buy their crappy little t-shirts. Yeah, like buying one of those will somehow help to improve anyone's life, let alone affect important issues like employment pay and gender bias - which isn't being discussed because the focus of this campaign is the shock factor of children swearing like sailors. Visit the company's website and you'll see they have t-shirts for just about anything that makes people angry.

Children see things as simple black and white issues, and putting them in a campaign focused on a whole lot of grey is counterproductive and turns people away from discussing the real issues at heart. The only winners in all of this, is FCKH8 and it's owner - Synergy Media, who specialise in marketing and corporate branding and are essentially making money from political talking points while treating a child's innocence and curiosity as a resource to use and promote their agenda. Btw, adults who project adult thoughts and desires onto children are known as paedophiles - which makes the vid deeply sickening as no one seems to be questioning the motives of the marketeers behind the campaign.

if some unattractive married women with 8 children's without a living husband and also doing the breadwinner for the entire souls in the family by selling some earth resources that she's gathered from anywhere around earnestly and with pride that she's keep deep inside her heart without selling sex for money for a quick get out.

if that unattractive married women with 8 children's without a living husband also doing it very early in the morning and still never forget to prepared breakfast for the kids or getting them ready for schools also without what so called "baby blues" or "desperate housewives" stress although the prices for everything is sky rocketed for everyone that she's not even dreamed to goes up in a rally with some topless women to protest the declining economy or protesting about how unfair a guinea pig is used for some cosmetic experiments.

if also that unattractive married women with 8 children's without a living husband also in some remote villages of some developed country that tend to became object for "look how unfair that women are treated by society because she's a single parents, so Let's us here that live in (insert the "modern" countries where the money revolves name here) Fight for our rights to be treated the same in our workplace first by giving us more intensive leave for to relieved our stress from works or attending some stupid singing contest".

if also that unattractive married women with 8 children's without a living husband just doing her deeds based only by her mere will for the well being of her children's and not even willing to let some TV variety shows to show how pitiful her life is.

than that women is a true Feminist
not even a Man no matter how strong or honorable he is can do that much or even stay.
and
ALMOST every women even in less situations than her will mostly run away or even do the opposites in the most worst way.

Feminist is just a word
and like any other words that human developed and then over used will lost it's meaning...especially when it's used by celebrities wannabe lazy office workers.

summary:
Just how I feel when I see the video's?

I'm as broad minded as the next person or I thought I was.

The profiteering by the company "American for-profit company FCKH8.com"

That offends me.
