The video does not imply that a boy who calls a girl a "bitch" will end up a rapist, but as the girl explains: "One thing always leads to another, so please stop it before it gets the chance to begin." The video ends with the powerful line: "I will be born a girl, please do everything you can so that won't be the greatest danger of all"
