The point of the YouTube video, from what I understood, was to prove that girls are capable of being feminine and strong at the same time, and shouldn't be victimised nor insulted based on stereotypes. :P when people say 'you hit like a girl' it portrays the person as someone who is, basically, shît at the sport they're doing. As we grow older into teenage years, the video showed how the image of girls in sport began to look as if we were all just dumb little bimbos ??
Idk. I guess 'like a girl' became an insult as boys teased girls based on their sporting capabilities.

I agree, now it seems like "like a girl" is weak or saying it's not good enough.
