But, why is it used as an insult? In this day and age, how is it possible that we have not moved past the &amp;quot;boys are strong, girls are weak&amp;quot; stereotype? In an awesome new ad campaign from Always, the maxi-pad company is addressing these very questions.

As one young woman notes, &amp;quot;I wake up in the morning &amp;#039;like a girl&amp;#039; because I AM a girl.
