Despite only gaining more popularity after this movie, “like a girl” have been used before that as well. The stereotypes that people placed on women and girls could have played a major role in the meaning of the phrase “like a girl”.

Ronda Rousey desires to play the Marvel comic book character Captain Marvel and she is using fan artwork to advocate her interest. The UFC champion seems to be perfect for the role and she took to Reddit to voice her opinion. During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) Rousey was posed the question which superhero she would play if given the chance?

This makes the representation of females clearly different than the representation of males, and part of the contributors to this separation are females themselves. Next, they asked younger girls the same questions. When the younger girls are asked to “Run like a girl” (Always), the girls run as fast as they can; when asked to “Fight like a girl” (Always), they fight their hardest. The separation between the two age groups is clear, which is unfortunately caused by many aspects.
