A PROVOCATIVE viral video showing young girls swearing has been reinstated by YouTube after being taken down amid a storm of controversy.The video done by American company FCKH8.com shows five girls, aged between six and 13, dressed up as princesses and swearing like sailors for the video F-Bombs for Feminism: Potty-Mouthed Princess Use Bad Word for Good Cause.
'What is more offensive - a little girl saying f*** or the f***ing unequal and sexist way society treats girls and women?' on girl says in the video
'Women make 23 per cent less than men for the exact same f***ing work,' the outraged little girls say. 'I shouldn't need a penis to get paid!'
Another says, 'Stop teaching girls how to dress and start teaching boys not to f**king rape!'
The five girls state that one of them will be raped in their lifetime, quoting statistics that one in five women are raped.
'Which of us is it going to be?'
However it wasn't long before the video was taken down by YouTube.
According to Mashable, the original video was pulled from YouTube on October 22 around 2:30pm, and was also unavailable on Vimeo for some time due to an error.
'This video has been removed because its content violated YouTube's Terms of Service,' the error message read when users tried to access it.
However, a spokesperson for YouTube told The Independent that it was by accident.
'Our policy team had a look at the video and it looks like there was an error and it shouldn't have been removed. As a result they have now reinstated it,' she said. 'With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make mistakes.'
T-shirt company FCKH8.com has promised to donate $5 from each sale of the $15 tops emblazoned with 'Girls just want to have FUN-damental rights' to five anti-sexism organisations and projects'.
FCKH8 is popular in the US and describes itself as having 'an activist heart and a passionate social change mission'.
