What's more offensive: a 6-year-old girl saying "f*ck" or sexism in society? For the campaign FCKH8, it's the latter. For everyone else, it's watching little girls, dressed as princesses, being made to shout f-bombs in the name of feminism.
The FCKH8 campaign -- the same ones that made young black kids tell white people they're still racist -- is at it again, this time using very young girls screaming the F-word to tell men they are sexist.
Their new video campaign, F-Bombs for Feminism: Potty-Mouthed Princesses Use Bad Word for Good Cause, aims to put a stop to sexism in society. Apparently, a kindergarten-aged girl shouting obscenities is A-ok in the mind of a feminist if, you know, it's for a good cause. The campaign also features a 12-year-old boy in a pink gown for good measure. From the video's description:
Facing a future where women are still paid 23% less than men for the same work, and where 1 in 5 women are raped or sexually assaulted in gender-based violence, little girls between 6 and 13 years-old dressed as pretty pink princesses drop F-bombs to draw attention to society’s continued sexism. Asking the question, 'What’s more offensive? A little girl saying f*ck or the sexist way society treats girls and women' these adorably articulate little ladies in sparkling tiaras turn the 'princess in distress' stereotype on its head and contrast the F-word with words and statistics society should find shocking such as 'pay inequality' and 'rape.' The video also features a 12 year-old boy wearing a pink gown standing up against sexism saying, 'When you tell boys not to ‘act like a girl,’ it’s because you think it’s bad to be a girl.'
Here is what is not offensive to FCKH8 feminists: making a 6-year-old girl say, "I shouldn't need a penis to get paid" and "(teach boys) not to f*cking rape."
Two adult women appear in the video and do not use the language they forced on the girls. They just want to sell $15 T-shirts that say, "Girls just want to have FUN-damental rights" and donate five bucks to feminist charities.

UPDATE:
The video was pulled from YouTube and Vimeo for violating content rules, but FCKH8 has fixed the broken Vimeo link (above). According to Mashable.com, a spokesperson for the for-profit company sent them this email:
"It seems like this censorship ... is because of user complaints about kids saying f*ck. The video does not violate any user guidelines and with all the sexist content on both sites that is allowed to stay up, as well as content that uses this simple four-letter word, we are surprised that they chose to censor it. This censorship gets to the exact point that the girls in the video are making ... that society finds it more offensive for a girl to say f*ck than they do the fact that 1 out 5 women are sexually assaulted and raped."
