Columbia Business School Made A Viral Parody Video About Strong Women In The Workplace

Dec 15, 2014, 21:07 IST

Last week, a group of Columbia Business School students posted a video to YouTube in which a young woman sings - and raps - about getting ahead in the workplace by acting like a "b--ch."  It's already reached 1.5 million views.

The video, which parodies Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass,"  has its critics - some see it as a lame attempt to combat real biases and career obstacles for women.

But the students' initial objective in creating the video was simply to entertain: they threw it together in a couple of days for the CBS Follies, a student-run sketch comedy group that holds a show at the end of each semester.

"Act like a man, get called a bitch," the video's description reads. The students call it a "love letter to all the badass b--ches who aren't afraid to be themselves in the business world" in the video's description.

It's basically a younger, more fun version of the ultra-feminist Pantene commercial that came out in the Philippines a year ago and highlighted male vs. female stereotypes in the workplace. With a few more swear words.
