‘Always’ Super Bowl Commercial Attempted To Redefine ‘Throw like a Girl’

Always Super Bowl 2015 commercial: Redefining “throw like a girl” (The Washington Post)

The premise: In a take on a viral video, adults and a little boy are asked to run, fight and throw “like a girl.” Unsurprisingly, they perform these tasks in the wimpiest way possible.

The punchline: A group of girls are assembled and asked to do the same thing. They run as fast as they can, and throw and punch with force. Because throwing “like a girl” is the same as throwing like a person, right?
