This all-woman Super Bowl ad pays homage to women in STEM

every time users tag @OlaySkin and use the hashtag #MakeSpaceForWomen on Twitter between January 14 through February 3, 2020. Olay hopes this will inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, programmers and space explorers to “Face Anything.”

“We recognize that many industries have yet to reach gender parity, which is why we’re using our Super Bowl ad to feature fearless women who have been trailblazers in their own industries as a way to inspire people everywhere to get involved and support Operation #MakeSpaceForWomen,” said Eric Rose, associate brand director for Olay.

With roughly 36 percent of NASA astronauts being women, the all-female spacewalks happening now are purely coincidental, said Stott. “The thing that really impressed me about the first all-female spacewalk was that it wasn’t contrived in any way,” Stott said. “It truly fell out of the rotation for spacewalk assignments. It’s awesome that we’re now at a point where our mix of astronauts brings two women in space at the same time to perform a required task.”

Stott encourages young girls and women to believe in themselves and have the courage to take control of their dreams. “Pay attention to what you enjoy, and look for role models and other women that are present in these fields to be examples,” she said.

I took that break comercial to go and take a shit

Nothing says “respect women for their brains” than an ad from a company that focuses their products on women’s appearance.

Women aren't in STEM because they're smarter than men. They won't go into a field where government policy is to import infinite foreign workers to drive down wages and decrease job security.

'Currently, women make up only about a quarter of workers in STEM careers, and they earn considerably less than men.' Learning about this was very disappointing, but I'm glad Olay is promoting STEM to young girls and women to a large audience! NKUSPB

Because you can’t just have fun on Super Bowl Sunday

Should send them all away around the age of 45.😏

Yes! MakeSpaceForWomen

And it ends with them all dieing in an easily prevent space accident or murder/suicide. Depends on your perspective

MakeSpaceforWoman

OlaySkin hashtag MakeSpaceForWomen

How condescending.

makeroomforwomen

Which was great until they shot themselves in space because they were willy nilly pushing buttons. 😐

There’s a whole lotta space up in here! MakeSpaceForWomen

You mean the American women that US politicians are trying to replace with H1b visa foreign workers? ~Harold Finch

Space is sexist

Ok, but why is middle wearing super long hair extensions. I don’t need astronauts to look sexy.

Love it!!!!🙋‍♀️

None of us women in STEM careers spend that much time on our hair.

This is one of the reasons why women still don't have the equality they seek.

why are they wearing make up? I thought gender was a social construct? Why would it matter if what society calls a woman is in STEM or not, arent all people exactly the same regardless of the socially constructed gender?🤔🤔🤔🤔

Because football fans want a soap commercial with some woke chicks.

That's girl power

How about an ad addressing the suicide rate amongst young men at an astronomical rate between the ages of 15 and 24?

Women in stem don’t need a commercial that non-STEM companies benefit from, they need FUNDING me please give me money please

they should have never let women drove cars
