    I think the difference here might be "Like a Girl" and "Strong is Beautiful" are both positive messages. It portrays good things and urges people to continue to do good things. When it shows people doing something wrong, it is the "other people" who are treating you unfairly. Do good in spite of them. You are already awesome.

    This campaign seems to come in at the angle that some men are doing bad things, and other men are just standing by and not helping. It also urges them to do good, but it implies that they aren't doing good to begin with.

    I believe the reaction to this is overblown, but I kinda understand where it is coming from.

    I'm a definite meat-eater. I can't recall a single day in my adult life that I haven't had meat of some sort. The impossible burger intrigues me. I don't know that I've read a single bad review of it yet. This could just be selection bias; the people who eat it are much more likely to speak positively of it. But I hope this isn't the case.

    Does anyone know how well production of this is supposed to scale up?
