The frozen food company, Lean Cuisine, recently conducted an experiment to see how women make life decisions. The "#ItAll" campaign found that women make different choices when they are alone versus with supportive friends.
Though Lean Cuisine tried to show that they are supportive of women, the campaign, along with the video they released about it, has caused some serious backlash on social media.

I think where they went wrong is the end of this towards specifically women. If they included all genders, then I don't think there would be as much of an issue.
I think they should of included everyone because we all can relate. Not just women go through this. We All Do!
As a society we need to support those we chose to surround ourselves with. I loved seeing friends bond further over this exercise. I wonder what would happen if you tweaked the experiment and geared it towards the ever expanding population of empty nesters. We too, at this stage in life, continue to make choices. Many of us want to challenge ourselves in new directions, want to continue to support our children and now our grandchildren without losing identity of self. In my opinion we were the generation (those of us in our 50's and beyond) who were convinced they could do it all and sadly learned that is not necessarily the case. We have as many choices as those you featured in the video, just different ones. Wonder how life experiences would nfluence our decisions going forward....great experiment! Thanks Lean Cuisine.
men should be included
I dislike everything about this campaign. Men already have it all and have for centuries. Get over yourself Lean Cuisine!
A bit misguided, men should have been included
Men should absolutely be included
I think that it is a bit misguided, because I feel that men should have been included.
I feel it is a positive message, but feel that men should be included.
If it gets us talking, then it's successful. So it's a win!
I liked how women influenced each other why not men too could experience this
It's interesting how what the women said differed when they were by themselves versus when they were with friends.
Why do we think having it "all" will make us happy?
these shouldn't be any more different between men and women, lean cuisine must have heard that message already !
Why is it only women? I think men should have to feel the pressure of appearance along with everything else.
