Finally, Emoji That Reflect the Other Half of the Population

You may not have noticed, but there is a surprising lack of female emoji on our keyboards. I definitely didn't realize until Always's #LikeAGirl campaign pointed it out. For me, the discovery that most of the emoji are men was just as upsetting as not noticing in the first place. Now that we're all on the same page, how weird is it that all the professional, academic, and athletic emoji are men? Why are the only female emoji brides, girls getting haircuts, and dancing women? Thankfully, the #LikeAGirl campaign is attempting to change that. The first lady is even getting involved with her #LetGirlsLearn initiative.

Hey @Always! We would love to see a girl studying emoji. Education empowers girls around the world. #LetGirlsLearn #LikeAGirl

Check out the #LikeAGirl emoji — because, newsflash, there's not much boys can do that we can't also.
