If you’re a Patriots fan, you’re probably still celebrating their Super Bowl win. If you’re a Seattle Seahawks fan, you’re like, “The Super Bowl is over … did Richard Sherman’s girlfriend have her baby yet?”

And if you don’t care about either team, you probably hashed over which commercial you enjoyed the most and that snoozer of a halftime show staring a singer who exhibited zero passion or feel for her craft. (But she had great confidence in the equipment as she flew across the stadium to close out the show.)

As of now,  I’m wishing we had a Chick-fil-A up north so I could get free coffee for the next month, and every time I go to McDonald’s, I’m going to take my entire family just in case I get lucky and get to pay in “love” instead of actual money.

Yes, I’m a pushover. I loved that commercial. For those who didn’t see it, until Feb. 14, McDonald’s will pick random customers to pay in love instead of cash. They will have to show some kindness to a family member, like call their mom and tell her they love her or tell their child three things they admire about them. It’s a great concept.

I type “like a girl,” throw “like a girl,” feed calves “like a girl” – so what? Yes, this Super Bowl commercial, advertising feminine products, made me choke up. It jarred my senses to see what we are really saying when we use the phrase “like a girl.”

They asked a grown man and a adolescent boy to run, fight and thrown like a girl. They did it and they did it awkwardly – as if that’s how every girl runs, fights and throws. Then they asked young girls to do the same thing. They ran, they fought and, when asked what it meant to “run like a girl,” the 8-year-old girl responded innocently: “To run as fast as you can.”

She was blind to the difference of how boys and girls look when they run. And at that moment, my throat was tightening and tears began to well up in my eyes.

I like being a girl and I’m not ashamed of what I look like when I throw a baseball while playing catch with my kids – but we need to really think about our words and how they affect our young ladies today. They are born with confidence; the world will steal it away if we don’t watch out.

Those of us with daughters are charged with raising young women who are comfortable with their femininity and take their role seriously.

She gets up while it’s still dark.

She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

She sees that her trading is profitable.

She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household.

She is clothed with strength and dignity and she can laugh at the days to come.

This is living “like a girl.”
