3 Reasons Why Gillette's 'Toxic Masculinity' Ad Is Incredibly Stupid And Degrading

I like my son-in-law's social media post on this commercial:

"I can see why so many people are offended by this commercial.
Such a terrible message.
"Don't be a Bully. Treat women with respect. Teach your kids to treat people they way they would want to be treated."
THE NERVE, GILLETTE!
(In case anyone has trouble reading the sarcastic font, I'm not offended by this at all. I think it's great.)"

He's awesome.

LOL
It's sad that you think that. Your son is being told he needs to make up for things someone else did and you support it and support his accepting responsibility for things he's never done. It's not healthy. I hope he doesn't kill himself one day after realizing he's a man inside

Why do so many of you RW morons struggle so much with the English language?

He's my son-in-law, derp. He's a typical decent young man who does *not* see himself as a perpetrator of verbal or physical assault, or a bully. In fact, he once intervened in public when they saw a parent being verbally abusive to their kid. That's what real men do. They don't turn their heads and think "none of my business" or "boys will be boys." He's just like the vast majority of men who not only don't bully or commit assault, but intervene when they see it.

Sorry you're apparently not one of them.

So why does he enjoy being told to be what he already is? That's my problem. I'm already a decent human being. I don't need an advertisement to be that way and it's the worst kind of pandering a company can do in my opinion, so I don't have a problem with the message, just the purpose of the message. I doubt you can even understand the distinction.

He did not see himself in the commercial -- same as the majority of men -- because it was aimed at the abusers and the bullies. Says something not so good about you that you saw yourself in it.

Women buy most of the items used in running a household, including men's items like razors, shaving gel/cream, etc. Sounds like a pretty good marketing move to me. "Ladies, we're on your side."

Yea of course...as The Boss said...There are Saints and Assholes on every street corner.

I mean they can call me anything but late for dinner and I don't really care. I just find it ironic that a lot of women seem nonplussed that a lot of men find the phrase offensive. I think it's obvious that the phrase is pejorative, provocative and used in an insulting manner. Therefore I conclude that it's rude and in poor taste to use the phrase.

Unless we're talking about Grind that is.

Well, like I said I generally don't like buzz words, because people get wound up stressing out about the buzzword than about the concept that is being conveyed.

I personally don't see myself associated with "toxic masculinity" anymore than I do when I hear the word "racist white male". I do not see those expressions being used to characterize all males.

But I guess buzzwords can be distracting.
The main idea is that a real man does not comport himself in the manner that Donald Trump does. Trump is the role model of how not to act, whether or not you want to call it "toxic masculinity" - he is arrogant, self-absorbed, cruel, misogynistic, and selfish.

The commercial said "we learned" implying men didn't know. We could break down the language, but I doubt you are open to that and I don't have time to waste anyway.

Basically, I've not been too worried about the feminazi bullshit, but this was absolutely a shot across the bow by feminism. Congrats, ladies, you turned normal people against your cause, you dumb cunts.

I'm going to be rude to women from now on since all men are already considered assholes. Might as well not worry about offending people who are already offended. Fuck off, bitches

Yeah, you already wasted hours of your life trying to convince us that you're not like that and your feelz got all hurt by the implication that you are. So to sum up: women who stand up and speak out against harassment are "feminazis." Commercials that advocate for guys to help other guys not be bullies are exploitative.

Last but not least, anyone who dares disagree with you is a cunt and a bitch.

Good luck, you're gonna need it!

There’s something going on with these pathetic RW babies that are so defensive on this commercial.

Having to “make up” for something someone else did? “Accepting responsibility” for things he’s never done?

What orifice are they pulling this garbage from?
