"5 Things to Say Instead of 'Sorry'" http://bit.ly/18SuBHP

Blog | Catalyst.org
March 16, 2015 — I recently came across a Pantene ad that went viral in June. Besides highlighting the flawless and beautiful hair of the actresses, it features multiple situations where women unnecessarily say “sorry”—a verbal tic that, for many women, has become entrenched in everyday conversation. In scene after scene of the ad, women are shown apologizing for a series of silly reasons. It becomes clear the women should not be remorseful. Yet as I was watching, I had this horrifying epiphany—I do this. I do this all the time. I did this today.
