Amy Schumer has struck yet another chord when it comes to feminist commentary, and this time, she's inspired a social media campaign, too.
On the latest episode of her Comedy Central series "Inside Amy Schumer," the comedian parodied silly boyband songs that implore women to take off their makeup and revel in their natural beauty.

Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want.
