Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Uthanda okanye awuthandi, i-emojis ibe yindlela ebalulekileyo yokunxibelelana-kwaye hayi nje kwabaselula. (Igama elidume kakhulu le-2014 laliyi-emoji yentliziyo. Oko akusiyo negama!) Ukutshintsha kwethu ukuthetha ngemifanekiso kuye kwafika nohlaziyo olwamkelekileyo, kubandakanywa ukongezwa kweentlanga ezintsha kunye nokutya okutsha (hello, taco). Kodwa xa kuziwa ekuboniseni abasetyhini abenza imidlalo okanye kwimisebenzi, ukhetho alukho-ngaphandle kokuba ubala i-surfer eyindoda ene-blonde locks ende. Singasathethi ke, ezi zikhoyo ziyinto ebambekayo: Sinamakhosazana kunye namantombazana enziwa iinzipho okanye iinwele zawo zichetywe.

Ewe, yamva nje ye-Soloko #LikeAGirl ividiyo-inxalenye yenjongo yebhrendi ukukhuthaza ukuzithemba kumantombazana njengoko engena ebukhweni-ilungisa lo mba ngqo. Soloko ubambisene nomenzi wefilimu u-Lucy Walker ukuba "abeke incoko malunga nendlela i-emojis ewachaza ngayo amantombazana kwaye ubabonise ukuba banokwenza ngaphezulu kokunxiba i-tiara okanye ukudanisa ngengubo ebomvu," kuchaza ushicilelo. NgokukaWalker, naye owafunda i-socioliguistics, ukhetho lweelwimi olubonakala lungenabungozi ngokwenene lunokuba nefuthe elikhulu kumantombazana. Le vidiyo iveza indlela "iinketho ezikhoyo kubo eziqinisa ubuqhetseba ekuhlaleni kunye nokusikelwa umda abajongana nayo mihla le," utshilo. (Kwelinye inqaku, kufanele ukuba i-Facebook iyayinqanda i "Emoji Fat" Emoji?)

Kwisiqeshana, amantombazana okwenene ayabuzwa ukuba baziva bechazwe ngokuchanekileyo ngumbonakalo we-emoji yangoku (isilumkiso somonakalisi: hayi!) Kunye nee-emojis ezingathanda ukuzibona zongezwa kumxube. Bavakalisa ukuba bafuna ukubona amantombazana edlala ibhola ekhatywayo, ephakamisa iintsimbi, ejijisana, ekhwela ibhayisekile. Kwaye, akumangalisi, bangathanda ukubona iingcali zabasetyhini ziboniswa kwihlabathi le-emoji njengamapolisa, amagqwetha, abacuphi kunye neemvumi. (Imbaleki kunye neOlimpiki uMolly Huddle ikuko nayo-iOlimpiki yangenisa umbono wokuba imbaleki yabasetyhini i-emoji ekwindla.)

Ukuxhasa ividiyo, Soloko ukhuphe idatha entsha yesaveyi ebika ezi zibalo zilandelayo: Ipesenti ze-75 zamantombazana aneminyaka eyi-16 ukuya kwe-24 ubudala angathanda ukubona i-emojis yabasetyhini eboniswa ngokuqhubekayo; Iipesenti ezingama-54 zamantombazana aneminyaka eli-18 ukuya kwengama-24 ubudala akholelwa ukuba ii-emojis zamabhinqa ezikhoyo ngoku zizezokucinga; Iipesenti ezingama-76 zikholelwa ekubeni akufuneki kuphela ukuba ziboniswe zisenza imisebenzi yabasetyhini njengokucheba iinwele okanye ukuzilungisa; kunye neepesenti ze-67 zamantombazana ziyavuma ukuba i-emojis ekhoyo yabasetyhini ibonisa ukuba amantombazana alinganiselwe kwizinto anokukwenza.

Ngethemba lokophula lo mjikelo, uhlala ukhuthaza amantombazana ukuba abelane ngee-emojis zowasetyhini abafuna ukuzongeza ngokusebenzisa i- #LikeAGirl. (Iminwe iwele intombazana yeyoga!) Ngayo nayiphi na ithamsanqa, siza kuqala ukubona ezinye zeentombazana ezinde ekulindelwe emojis kungekudala ukuba ziyeke oku kucalucalulo ngesondo kwiindlela zalo. Kwaye ewe, phakamisa umdlalo wethu we-emoji ngelixa sikuwo.
